Sharp MX-B401 - Manual (Page 9)

The exchange of digital documents in
the 21st century creates new challenges
for network security. Sharp has developed
an award-winning, multi-layered security
system to help protect valuable
information and maintain employee
confidentiality. No company has more
experience in maintaining digital
security—so corporate end-users and
IT professionals can count on the
proven safeguards of the MX-B401.
PROVEN PROTECTION FOR CONFIDENTIAL DATA,
DEVICE ACCESS AND NETWORK SAFEGUARDS
* Some features require optional equipment.
** Data Security Kit not available at time of launch.
Authority Group and Access Control
Advanced account management enables
administrators to set authority groups for access
to features of the MX-B401. Administrators can
control which department, for instance, has
full access to copying, printing, scanning and/or
fax. Walk up users enter a code, Local Name
and Password, or LDAP User Authentication to
access the features assigned to their group.
Users can also login utilizing a human interface
device (HID) such as a Smartcard or Common
Access Card (CAC).*
Data Erase and Encryption**
To help protect your data, the MX-B401 offers
an optional data security kit that encrypts
document data using AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) encryption. Additionally, the data
security kit erases the temporary memory on
the hard drive by overwriting the encrypted data
up to seven times, offering an unprecedented
level of assurance.
Control Device Access Over the Network
To help restrict access to the device over the
network, the MX-B401 offers IPsec, SMB and
extended support for SSL Encryption (Secure
Sockets Layer), IP/MAC address filtering, IEEE
802.1x authentication, protocol enable/disable and
port management for maximum security.
Network Scanning Access
To help protect your network from unauthorized
e-mail communications, the MX-B401 supports
User Authentication, requiring users to login
before performing any network scanning
operations.
Documents Remain Confidential
To help protect your printed documents
from unauthorized viewing, the MX-B401
offers encrypted PDF files for printing and
scanning as well as Confidential Printing
that requires users to enter a PIN code in
order to print a queued document. Additionally,
Secure Fax Release ensures received fax
documents are held in memory until an
authorized user enters a PIN code. So
compliance with healthcare regulations
such as HIPAA is easier.
Tracking and Auditing Information
Legislation and industry policies require
companies to be more aware of information
flow from their offices. Sharp offers both built-in
and additional hardware/software which allows
users to control, access and track usage of
each device on the network.
These scalable security offerings aim to
protect your intellectual property, preserve
confidential information and help your business
to meet regulatory requirements, such as the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
(GLB). For additional information visit:
