DATA SECURIT Y
The optional Data Security Kit (DSK) helps protect and controls
the major MFP systems and subsystems (print, copy, scan,
fax jobs, network settings, operating system, memory
components, local user interface, engine and job controller).
The DSK uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
algorithm on all data before it is written to RAM or Flash
memory and the disk. The DSK also provides overwriting
routines for deleted data, to ensure that all information is
virtually irretrievable by unauthorized users.
ACCESS CONTROL SECURIT Y
To limit unauthorized access to each device, Sharp MFPs can
utilize account codes, user/group profiles, passwords, or external user
accounts contained in an LDAP or Active Directory server. All user
credentials are transferred using a proven combination of Kerberos, SSL
or Digest-MD5 encryption to help avoid interception.
NET WORK SECURIT Y
Sharp MFPs feature an intelligent network interface that can limit
access to specific computers on a network by IP or MAC address, and
selectively enable or disable any protocol or service port on each
device. All communications to and from the MFP can utilize Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) for secure transmission over the network, and most
devices also support SMB, IPv6, IPSec and SNMPv3.
ANTIVIRUS SECURIT Y
Sharp MFP products use unique embedded firmware and are not based
on Microsoft Windows® operating systems. Therefore, Sharp MFP’s
internal systems are not subject to the same Virus vulnerability as
Microsoft operating systems. We believe this approach provides the
internal systems of our products with protection against common
Windows executable viruses and other similar infectious software
programs.

The Sharp Security Suite is effective at preventing unauthorized access to your most confidential information because security has been
designed from the ground-up. At the core of the device is a proprietary embedded operating system that is resistant to attack from
malicious code and virtually untouchable by viruses, worms or trojan horses. Around this impenetrable core, Sharp MFPs utilize a
multi-layered approach to protection — providing better control over the users, devices, ports, protocols and applications that access
your Sharp MFPs.
