Security in the Office

In today’s office, multifunction devices can print, copy, scan to network destinations, send email attachments, and handle incoming and outgoing fax transmissions. If everyone has access to your multifunction printer, that means just about anyone can launch attacks against the network and network resources ranging from simple (picking up documents left in the output tray) to complex (distributing documents over the network or accessing confidential information).
Xerox is committed to helping you secure your environment and achieve your regulatory compliance objectives through systems, software and services designed to provide security that assures the confidentiality, integrity and availability of critical document and network assets.
Security and the Federal Government

The Challenge:
Federal government policy requires that all networked devices used in national security systems meet specific information assurance goals including strict levels of integrity, confidentiality, and availability for systems and data, accountability at the individual level, and assurance that all security claims are objectively verified.
The Solution:
Common Criteria Certification, administered by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP). This is a rigorous process that includes the testing of devices against security requirements by accredited, third-party laboratories.
The Xerox Advantage:
In addition to delivering exceptionally well-architected and highly productive devices into the office environment, Xerox has received Common Criteria Certification for the WorkCentre M35/M45/M55 and WorkCentre Pro 35/45/55. As part of the certification process, the security of the embedded fax function of these devices was also validated. No other multifunction device manufacturer has obtained third party assurance that fax and network lines are separated.

Protecting sensitive, proprietary, or classified information is more critical than ever. As more information is being created, distributed, and archived digitally, the risk that this data could be intercepted or corrupted increases.
Without the proper protection, hackers, disgruntled employees, or even spies can gain access to you or your customers’ sensitive business information and make it public record with the click of a mouse.
And as if matters weren’t complicated enough, many industries must now comply with government and state regulations, not to mention satisfy a customer base with deep privacy concerns.
Thankfully, Xerox has the security capabilities to help. For the last 20 years, Xerox has been a leader in providing secure document solutions to a variety of industries across the globe. In fact, every Xerox product and service we offer was designed with security in mind and to seamlessly integrate into existing security frameworks—giving you and your customers more protection and peace of mind.
Creating secure document management processes and protecting document confidentiality.

Protecting sensitive, proprietary or classified information has always been challenging. Nevertheless, before the advent of today’s digitally networked offices and increasingly sophisticated threats, maintaining airtight security of confidential documents often meant simply putting those documents away and locking the door behind you at the end of the workday.
In this uneasy, post-9/11 environment, however, managers in government as well as healthcare, financial services, pharmaceuticals and other segments of corporate America are more aware than ever before of the need for deploying more sophisticated document security processes and technologies to ensure confidentiality.
Management may not understand IT Security
Submitted by Corey Smith on Thu, 03/27/2008 - 07:42“Most C-level executives still view security as an operational issue, not a strategic issue, according to ‘Navigating Risk: The Business Case for Security.’”
I found an interesting article on this. IT security is far more important an issue than just an operational issue.
Take a look at this article from Dark Reading on IT Security and Management.
