Information is your greatest asset. Keeping it secure is critical.


Document SecurityYour doors may be locked.  But are your windows wide open?
It's amazing the lengths to which some will go to keep their workplaces safe while completely overlooking their multifunction devices. After all, MFPs are networked devices, complete with IP addresses and loaded with company-sensitive information-and vulnerable to attack.  If you're not controlling physical and electronic access to your multifunction devices, now is the time to start. And we can help.

The threat is real:
Attacks can be as simple as someone picking up documents left in the output tray, or as complex as worms designed to pull sensitive information from your network. A few more common methods of attack:

  • Viruses disguised as print files
  • Through the vulnerable web server that manages your MFPs and printers
  • Images of documents saved on the internal hard drive of your MFPs and printer.
