People generally do not suspect that cybercriminals could target their printers to gain access to company’s sensitive information. Surprisingly, recent research has shown that more than two-thirds of businesses have suffered majorly from data loss due to unprotected and careless printing practices. While most companies prioritize protecting their emails and other cloud platforms, they often neglect the importance of securing their printers. This is why Bitdefender has launched a new BP line of copiers built with a layer of cybersecurity tools to keep our customers protected from harmful security breaches.
Why do you need Antivirus Bitdefender?
As with other computer devices, your copier is also vulnerable to cyberattacks. In fact, unsecured endpoints are the reason for more than half of security breaches. Moreover, copiers have important and valuable company data stored in their drivers, making it an easy target for attackers. Vulnerable copiers keep the door open for hackers to easily plant trojans or even steal credentials from your device. They can also easily use your multifunction printer (MFP) to spread malware throughout the entire network. Another way of inviting attacks is by pugging in infected USB devices.
In such cases, Bitdefender Antivirus provides security to sharp copiers by adding an extra layer of protection to copiers that can detect and block malicious software that could have passed through infected files or unprotected network connections. Bitdefender Antivirus protects your copier from dangerous online threats such as viruses, trojans, ransomware, spyware, worms, malware, and all other advanced threats. Hence, the Antivirus Bitdefender is the perfect solution for your MFP to protect the device as well as your business from malicious activities.
How does it work?
The Antivirus Bitdefender is built into the firmware of Sharp MFPs which once you activate uses its advanced features such as machine learning to scan, find and restrict malware from entering, that too in real-time. Bitdefender runs constant scans to ensure security all the time, during updating an application, printing, as well as sending and receiving data. Bitdefender also comes with a control panel that can scan viruses for you on demand. The MFP Audit Log also records all the activities in the system. The control panel displays all the information regarding virus scanning and you can see it on the ‘System Information’ section.
