SECURITY

SECURITY THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION

As MFPs and printers become a part of an organization’s integrated document workows and business processes,

security becomes a serious concern. Securely managing business and user data is critical for corporations to be

successful but that can add greater complexity as they are associated with various sources and formats.

Sharp helps IT managers minimize such concerns and optimize security management by providing integrated

security features.

Physical Security Threats

Typically, MFPs are located in areas accessible by multiple people. Unauthorized personnel can potentially

access and enter corporate networks when devices are not fully protected. In addition, any information stored

on a local desktop computer or a server accessible through the Local Area Network (LAN) can be printed without

authorization. Meanwhile, at the device, condential information can be accidentally or even purposely copied

from stored documents, taken from the output tray or faxed without authorization.

Network Security Threats

Unsecured access to your company's stored data makes you vulnerable to having it stolen or altered. In the

worst case, a user from the outside can obtain condential information, unleash a Denial of Service (DOS) attack,

or even place a virus on the device via the network or a phone line. Through a FAX line, or corporate LAN,

communications could be intercepted or sent without permission anywhere in the world. Even MFP data stored

on a hard disk drive or in memory could be compromised or stolen if not protected.

PROTECTING YOUR ASSETS FROM VULNERABILITY

which it continues to set the benchmark.
