In a global announcement earlier this month, Sharp Corporation announced that the 44 MFP and printer models running the latest Controller Platform (operating system) have successfully passed the Security Validation Testing for Device Penetration. This rigorous testing was conducted by Keypoint Intelligence in partnership with Agile Cybersecurity Solutions (ACS), specifically targeting Digital MFP (Multifunction Printer) Device Penetration.
Keypoint Intelligence is a certified testing lab operating in the document imaging industry. Their Security Validation Testing program is a leading standard for assessing device security, thoroughly evaluating whether networked devices like MFPs are effectively protected against vulnerabilities.
In an ever-evolving technology space, strong security measures are essential. Networked devices like MFPs are often overlooked as potential security risks, yet they can be prime targets for cyberattacks. Sharp’s commitment to staying ahead of these threats is evident in their proactive approach to device security.
The Security Validation Testing by Keypoint Intelligence examined MFP firmware and network connections to identify any potential vulnerabilities. https://keypointintelligence.com/security-validation. The results confirmed that Sharp MFPs offer robust protection against a wide range of anticipated cyber threats.
Sharp continues to invest in security features that go beyond just the MFPs themselves — including advanced data encryption, user authentication, system protection, and virus detection — safeguarding entire office networks.
