Recognised for reliable protection against numerous threats

The Device Penetration track of Keypoint Intelligence's Security Validation Testing Program consists of a multi-faceted security assessment to determine whether the device is protected against vulnerabilities. In the Device Penetration Testing, certified security experts use a combination of automated tools and manual exploitation attempts to probe for potential vulnerabilities in the device’s firmware/OS, ports, printing protocols, embedded web pages, connectivity avenues, and more.

Test results confirmed that Sharp MFPs, when settings are properly configured for a secure business environment, are sufficiently protected against a wide range of possible threats and are recognised as secure products that can be used with confidence . The Device Penetration Testing also allowed Sharp to do a comprehensive evaluation and verification of potential threats, paving the way for the company to provide even greater safety and security.

Sharp digital MFPs incorporate advanced security measures

Sharp has spent years enhancing security in its products. The models that have received this security validation have enhanced firmware and BIOS protection and virus detection to counter cyberattacks not only on the MFPs themselves but also on devices connected to the company network via the MFPs. In addition, Sharp has responded to the proliferation of remote work by improving the MFPs’ functions for linking with various cloud services. The scanning function, essential for smooth information sharing among remote locations, has also evolved. Sharp MFPs meet the diverse needs of companies by helping them enhance operational efficiency and achieve digital transformation in a more secure environment.
