Leading Security Features of Sharp BP Copiers

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, malicious intruders and hackers constantly scan the environment and switch tactics, making organizations vulnerable to malware incidents. Additionally, the rapid growth of cloud computing and hybrid workstyles in recent years has made this problem even more pervasive, providing threat actors with more endpoint devices to attack.

In the past year, 68% of organizations reported print-related data losses. That’s why Sharp’s new BP line of multifunction printers is taking organizations to the future of business communication with multi-layer security features to help protect their data.

In the past year, 68% of organizations reported print related data losses. That's why Sharp's new BP line of multifunction printers is taking organizations to the future of business communication with multi-layer security features to help protect their data.

Quocira, Print Security Landscape, 2022 study amongst 531 IT Decision Makers across the US, UK, France and Germany. A woman selects Color Start on a Sharp MFP and her print job is printed.

At startup, a BIOS integrity check helps protect against malware attacks, while the firmware attack prevention feature checks for abnormal firmware during everyday use, application allowlisting prevents unauthorized files from being loaded and real time intrusion detection identifies abnormal connection requests and denies access.

A bug icon is destroyed as it nears the Bios Integrity Check chip icon. A gear icon, file icon and hacker icon on a phone appear.

While those systems run in the background, the trusted platform module provides an added layer of security that protects access to stored data and TLS 1.3 encryption prevents eavesdropping while data is in transit and automatic firmware updates help ensure the machine is secure and up to date.

When trading in the machine for a new one an end of lease data erase function can wipe clean all data and personal information in the system, giving you peace of mind. All those features provide strong protection and help to keep your data locked down tight. However, your MFPs should also be armed with robust anti-malware protection to guard against viruses and other malicious activity.

A shadow of an MFP contains 0s and 1s. When the cursor clicks on the End-of-Lease Data Erase trashcan icon, the 0s and 1s are wiped away.

The optional virus detection kit powered by Bitdefender is available for all BP Series MFPs When installed the Bitdefender engine scans all inbound and outbound data and can block known and unknown malware attacks. Augmenting the standard security features on the BP series with an additional layer of protection, keep your print environment secure so that you can work simply smarter.
