Global PC and printer major HP Inc on Tuesday unveiled several new offerings that included a Next-Gen security service, a commercial virtual reality (VR) headset and a new range of consumer and commercial PCs.
During its flagship "HP Reinvent: World Partner Forum" event here, the company also outlined its digital transformation agenda, insights-driven go-to-market (GTM) strategy and partner-enablement enhancements.
"As customers' expectations for amazing technology is higher than ever, collaborating with our partners to meet the evolving needs of the next generation has never been more critical," said Alex Cho, President, Personal Systems, HP Inc.
As the security landscape continues to evolve, the company unveiled "HP DaaS Proactive Security Service" which is designed to go beyond anti-virus solutions and provide a critical extra layer of defence.
