COVER STORY

mishandling sensitive documents can compromise confidential information and harm an organisation’s reputation. l  Hybrid work The prevalence of hybrid work models makes security more challenging. Employees accessing MFPs from various locations, including home networks or public Wi-Fi, increase the potential attack possibility. This situation demands innovative solutions to minimise threats and enhance security measures. Advanced security features for MPF’s: Fujifilm’s Apeos series To mitigate these risks, businesses need to be proactive. FUJIFILM Business Innovation, a leader in imaging technology, has engineered the Apeos series to address these multifaceted security challenges, including those posed by hybrid working. By incorporating a suite of advanced features and adhering to rigorous industry standards, the Apeos multifunction printers provide robust protection against unauthorised access, network vulnerabilities, software tampering, and human error. Key security features l Robust user authentication and access control The Apeos printers use multi-factor authentication and detailed permissions management. This ensures that only authorised individuals can access sensitive data and device functions. Features like automatic logout and Secure Print prevent unauthorised use and protect confidential documents. l Multi-layered communication and data protection Apeos printers utilise advanced encryption to protect data in transit. Digital certificate verification ensures connections are authentic. Disabling specific network protocols or ports and encrypting scanned documents add extra layers of protection against unauthorised access and data breaches. l Software integrity and vulnerability management Fujifilm’s Apeos MPF devices focus on software integrity. Regular vulnerability detection and updates address emerging threats. Mechanisms ensure software updates are secure and prevent the installation of unauthorised software or files.

l Mitigating human error Recognising the potential for human error, Apeos printers incorporate features to prevent misconfigurations and accidental data leaks. Security warnings prompt administrators to take necessary precautions, while features like limiting communication destinations and suppressing erroneous fax transmissions help minimise the risk of unintended data exposure. l Certified security Fujifilm’s dedication to security extends beyond individual features. The Apeos series has earned ISO/IEC 15408 certification, an international standard for IT security, and the BLI Security Seal – Device Penetration from Keypoint Intelligence. Fujifilm has also addressed supply chain attacks by developing processes to ensure product integrity throughout their lifecycle, obtaining certification for ISO/IEC 20243. The future of secure printing As we move forward, the integration of robust security features in office technologies will become increasingly crucial. Businesses must seek out solutions that not only meet their operational needs but also provide comprehensive protection against growing cyber threats.
