Sharp
Organizations spend significant capital to protect digital assets from threats, yet frequently overlook one of the most integral
devices in use today - the office Multi-Function Peripheral (MFP). The more advanced and integrated MFPs become, the greater the risk to confidential information during the document's life cycle when it is being copied, printed, scanned or faxed. For a comprehensive security strategy to be effective, it is imperative for organizations to demand a greater level of protection from MFP vulnerabilities.

Sharp was the first to address security in digital imaging and received the first Common Criteria Validation for an MFP in 2001. Even today, Sharp remains the highest rated company in validated MFP products and is regarded as one of the industry's greatest security innovators. Businesses and government agencies worldwide have come to depend on this level of assurance, which Sharp pioneered and for which it continues to set the benchmark.

Some of the most common vulnerabilities associated with an unsecured MFP:
• Loss of productivity
• Regulatory non-compliance
• Loss of access
• Stolen information
• Lawsuits
• Unauthorized use

Sharp offers the following Security products, tools and applications:
• Sharp Security Suite
• Sharp Data Security Kit (DSK)
• Sharp Secure Network Interface
• Sharp Security Library
