SECURITY Despite the well-documented fact that cyber security breaches and cyber-attacks remain a common threat, there’s still a level of complacency around print security compared to other parts of the IT infrastructure. But the reality is that printers and multifunctional products are IT endpoint devices just like any other, and if left unsecured, can provide a convenient back door to get into business networks. Data breaches occur in many forms and can have long-lasting impacts including financial losses, reputation damage and the erosion of customer confidence. It’s also important to remember that it’s not just sophisticated high-profile cyber-attacks that businesses need to protect against - on the most basic level, unclaimed print-outs at devices represent a risk that sensitive information can fall into the wrong hands. With increasingly stringent data protection and regulatory compliance rules, organisations need to ensure all of the data they hold, including information that’s stored on printers and printed out, is secure. Security built in Fujifilm’s Apeos all-in-one office printer range stands out for its advanced security features. Engineered with a multi-layered security approach that extends beyond basic password protection, the advanced security features of the Apeos series include secure booting, to ensure that only authorised firmware operates the device, preventing access to malicious software. Other security features include data encryption, which safeguards sensitive information during transmission and storage, making it indecipherable to unauthorised users. Fujifilm’s commitment to security also extends to incident response. The Apeos series includes features like audit logs, which track user activity, and intrusion detection, alerting administrators to suspicious behaviour. This proactive approach enables swift action in the event of a security breach, mitigating potential damage. The comprehensive array of security features, integral to the Apeos series, has earned it a prestigious BLI Security validation from Keypoint Intelligence, a leading independent evaluator of document imaging hardware and software. RELIABILITY Printers play a crucial role in the office and downtime can be costly, disruptive and timeconsuming, especially in today’s fast-paced business environment. If a printer stops working – it is at the very least frustrating – IT admins often have to troubleshoot the device manually or call on a third-party provider to help resolve the issue. This often takes a lot of time and effort, and meanwhile, employees who need to print can’t continue with the job in hand until the printer gets fixed, which impacts their productivity. Robust engineering ensures minimal downtime Investing in high quality, reliable technology can significantly reduce the chances of downtime. Fujifilm Apeos MFPs are designed to withstand the rigors of constant day-to-day office use. Fujifilm’s robust engineering ensures minimal downtime. The Apeos C7070 series is compatible with service tools such as AI Analysis Technology which enables partners to identify the probable cause of unusual noise and guidance on how to resolve. Productivity-focused office printers Productivity-focused office printers also offer a number of advantages that significantly enhance business operations. The Apeos office range saves time with high Four pillars of value FUJIFILM Business Innovation was one of the earliest pioneers of digital toner print technology. Building on a heritage of more than six decades, the company’s four-pillar strategy – spanning security, reliability, quality, and sustainability – offers a holistic and innovative solution to the complex challenges faced by UK businesses. Whether data is in electronic or traditional paper formats, it is imperative that organisations have a clear knowledge of the risks and an understanding of how printers can mitigate those risks. Fujifilm’s multifunction printers are designed for reliability and durability, minimising breakdowns and maintenance needs, which in turn reduce interruptions to work. “ “ ” ” 4 www.managedITmag.co.uk
