DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SECURITY
CONTINUED
resellers can add real value by bridging that gap,” he says. “By working closely with customers to understand their workflows and challenges, resellers can deliver tailored document management solutions that are secure, simple to implement and easy to scale. “Customers’ need devices they can trust too. Our ADS range, for example, has received awards for its secure file routing, user authentication and automated document handling. These capabilities reduce manual risks while helping businesses move faster and more efficiently. “The devices are optimised for Brother Cloud Solutions, a suite of software solutions integrated with Tungsten Automation’s AutoStore and Printix, that means businesses can scan, access and share documents securely from any location. These tools support remote and hybrid working models, while giving resellers the confidence to recommend solutions that deliver strong data protection alongside productivity gains.” David adds that a well-rounded security offering should include things like end- to-end encryption – in transit and at rest – role-based access controls, malware detection, detailed activity logs and support for regular audits. “Just as important are backup and recovery strategies – ideally with geographically redundant storage – to help businesses bounce back quickly from unexpected events,” he says. “Given the lack of in-house expertise at many SMBs, resellers often become the go-to source for security advice and support. That puts
them in a powerful position to shape long-term data protection strategies and make a lasting impact.” Agility is key It is also crucial for solutions to be agile. “The threat landscape changes fast, so document management systems need to keep up,” says David. “Whether it’s adapting to new vulnerabilities, updating compliance features or enabling secure remote access during disruptions, flexible and responsive systems make it easier to maintain security and business continuity. “At the end of the day, document security isn’t optional – it’s essential. Resellers play a crucial role in bridging the gap, delivering the tools, knowledge and adaptability SMBs need to protect their most important information in a digital-first world.” Jamie adds that there are always new threats aimed at SMBs. “While we see large targets impacted as we have in recent times like with Co-op and M&S the prime targets for hackers are SMBs that do not have budgets or teams dedicated to security,” he says. “The solution partners with resellers who do understand and have strong partnerships with agile vendors who are first on the scene, not last.” Greig agrees: “Security threats continue to grow, so solutions must remain agile and resellers will be critical in helping businesses stay ahead of evolving risks,” he says. “We’re at our partners’ side here, pooling insight and expertise for better conversations with customers on their cyber resilience.” n
