Kirchheim (Germany), September 29, 2025 – The German IT security specialist genua GmbH, a company of the Bundesdruckerei Group, together with the global IT manufacturer HP presents the "HP Sure Station" – a highly secure notebook for public authorities and operators of critical infrastructures. The HP Sure Station with its specially protected hardware and preinstalled genusecure Suite from genua meets the requirements of the German Federal Office of Information Security (BSI) for a secure workstation that complies with German classification level "Restricted".
The HP Sure Station with genusecure Suite is prepared for use in security-critical areas by an integrator according to the needs of the customer. Government organizations and companies profit from a significant reduction in procurement costs and time expenditure.
genuconnect Ensures Security Compliant with German Classification Level “Restricted”
genusecure Suite meets all BSI requirements for a secure "Restricted" workstation. It consists of the VPN Software Client genuconnect, the hard drive encryption Utimaco DiskEncrypt and the smart card middleware Nexus Personal Desktop Client. The components work together seamlessly and transparently. Powerful, stable and lightweight premium notebooks are used, which despite comprehensive, integrated security architecture ensure maximum performance to meet all demands of today's hybrid office life.
genuconnect automatically sets up a fast and secure connection to a virtual private network (VPN). Utimaco DiskEncrypt provides pre-boot authentication by means of smart card, offers effective protection against unauthorized access to the data on the hard drive in the event of theft or loss of the notebook and prevents bypassing of the Windows password. The middleware Nexus Personal Desktop Client supports smart-card-based multi-factor authentication and digital signatures. genusecure Suite works reliably with the PKI (public key infrastructure) from ECOS Technology and D-Trust.
High Integration and Easy Management
Thanks to complete integration into the Microsoft Windows operating system, genusecure Suite can be managed and updated centrally using common administration tools. The solution can also be scaled for large infrastructures with more than 100,000 VPN clients. Hard drive encryption and VPN client are approved for classification levels German and NATO RESTRICTED and RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED. As genusecure Suite dispenses with additional layers, it is also suitable for resource-intensive applications such as video conferences or CAD and drawing programs.
"Thanks to genusecure Suite installed on the HP Sure Station – our high-performance solution bundle for workstations compliant with German classification level "Restricted" – public authorities and other security-sensitive government agencies as well as companies can massively increase the security of their workstations while significantly reducing procurement costs. genua and HP are thus making a huge contribution to IT security in Germany," says Matthias Ochs, Managing Director of genua.
Powerful and Highly Secure End Device
Furthermore, HP has protected the hardware of the high-performance HP Sure Station with additional security solutions. Together with genusecure Suite, the HP Sure Station notebooks offer a complete solution that is ready for immediate use and is fully compliant with the German classification level "Restricted". This includes HP supply chain security, HP TamperLock to prevent physical manipulation of the device and BIOS security functions such as HP SureStart. HP SureView additionally provides integrated visual privacy. Thanks to the secure micro-virtualization of HP Sure Click Enterprise, users can open e-mail attachments without worry. According to current BSI guidelines, the HP Sure Station therefore provides ideal protection against ransomware when accessing the Internet.
"At a time when cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated and more frequent, the protection of sensitive data and IT hardware has top priority. For the first time, we offer government departments, public authorities and security-sensitive companies a highly secure HP notebook which meets the comprehensive requirements of German classification level "Restricted" and, at the same time, is designed for flexible use in the hybrid work environment," says Adrian Müller, Vice President & Managing Director of HP Deutschland GmbH.
By doing so, HP and genua satisfy the wish of public authorities and other government agencies for simple procurement and minimal roll-out requirements.
