With Bitdefender advanced antimalware technology, scanning all data and files processed on the Sharp A3 MFPs, organisations can detect malicious activity and threats at an early stage before the business is impacted.
Integrated into the new Sharp Future Workplace A3 line of MFPs, the Bitdefender antimalware engine performs real-time scanning of all input and output data from the devices, alerting users, IT or security teams when threats are detected.
Why Printer Security Matters
Printers are often overlooked as a security risk, yet they can pose serious vulnerabilities—both physically and across your network.
When left unprotected, these devices can become easy access points for unauthorised users.
Whether it’s someone walking by and retrieving sensitive documents from the output tray, copying stored data, or exploiting unsecured network access to intercept communications, install malware, or launch attacks—every unprotected printer is a potential gateway for cyber and data breaches.
Without robust safeguards in place, everything from stored print jobs to fax lines and network connections can be exploited—putting your entire business at risk.
24/7 monitoring by ConnectWise SIEM, Security Operations Centre.
Through the strategic collaboration with Sharp and ConnectWise, the new Print Security Service for Sharp MFPs and printers (coming to New Zealand soon) will elevate print security event management to be a full partner in the IT stack, as it captures and analyses a comprehensive range of event logs, and alerts customers to potential threats using ConnectWise SIEM, which will be monitored 24/7 by ConnectWise's Security Operations Centre.
This information will then be collected and analysed against an entire ecosystem of threat intelligence feeds, providing clear and concise security risk feedback and event notification to Sharp customers. Sharp customers will then be provided with timely notification and mitigation of potential security risks that are specifically designed for multifunction devices.
