BACKGROUND
It seems high-tech security is never out of the news, with
reports of information theft and hacking making headlines
almost every day. And, unfortunately, by their very nature,
network printers and multi-functional devices are security
risks if not managed correctly.
For instance, advanced network connectivity options open
ports to hackers. Industry-standard Java and Web
browser design elements are vulnerable to virus attack.
Large hard drives store a latent copy of every document
flowing through the device data for years. Devices link
directly to core network components such as the LDAP
address list or the central file server. Plus, fast
communication options let insiders send information to the
outside with no method of being traced.
Security and data-compliance regulations such as
Common Criteria (CC) certification, HIPAA, Gramm Leach
Bliley, FERPA, SEC, FSMA, and the Patriot Act are aimed
at safeguarding information, and force companies to
conform to best practices in document and data-security
management.

management, and IC Card Authentication Kit (ISO
14443 Type A / Type C) compatibility.

support for both LDAP and network authentication and
Hard-Drive Overwrite.
