What is Dell ControlVault 2?

Dell ControlVault 2 is a security technology found in some Dell laptops and desktops. It acts as a hardware-based security module that provides enhanced protection for biometric data (such as fingerprints) and other sensitive information like passwords or encryption keys. ControlVault 2 typically houses a secure processor that isolates these sensitive tasks from the rest of the system, helping to prevent unauthorized access or tampering.

It is commonly used in conjunction with Windows Hello for biometric authentication and may also be part of Dell's broader privacy and security features (such as encryption and secure boot) on business laptops and workstations.
