The bizhub i-Series features multiple next-generation
technologies, including solid-state storage, a new code base, firmware and
integrated cloud services. No vulnerabilities were found during recent tests
performed on the devices by NTT DATA, an internationally respected IT services
provider, and the Security division of NTT Ltd.
Network-connected devices offer end users tremendous
opportunities for collaboration and ease of use. Unfortunately, those same
endpoint devices are attractive targets for hackers. By exploiting a security
vulnerability in a connected device, a skilled hacker can expose an entire
network to data theft, business disruption and financial turmoil.
Konica Minolta puts their products through rigorous internal
cybersecurity tests to protect their systems and ensure they meet PCI, HIPAA,
FERPA and GDPR compliance requirements. But to further assure customers that
the printers exceed industry standards for cybersecurity compliance, Konica
Minolta invested in an extra layer of threat protection — penetration tests
provided by NTT DATA and the Security division of NTT Ltd.
Konica Minolta provided a line of its multifunction printers
and their source code to NTT DATA for penetration testing. After spending
approximately 80 hours trying to hack into the devices, NTT DATA engineers did
not find any major security vulnerabilities. These results fortify Konica
Minolta’s reputation for offering secure products and helps drive the product
line’s success.
“More and more frequently, our clients are asking us for
penetration tests of our products, but I don’t know of a competitor that has
contracted a Fortune 500 company with the penetration testing capabilities that
NTT DATA has,” said Chris Bilello, Vice President, Solutions and Vertical
Market Business Development, Konica Minolta. “In an environment where customers
are increasingly and rightfully concerned with security, NTT DATA’s extra
testing can provide an added sense of confidence.”
