Some security features and functions not available on all models.
Administrators can assign a user name and password
to every user on the network. Once assigned, access to and restrictions
on each network and device function can be placed on individual
users. Besides the obvious security benefits of preventing unauthorized
access, this feature also cuts costs by preventing over-use. Authentication
is carried out by using Active Directory*, NTLM (Windows NT) and NDS
(NetWare), powerful software titles that ensure accurate password protection
for the entire network and for individual devices.
* Requires Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 or later.
Conforming to a number of Konica Minolta security policies, server access can be restricted, while
important information is encrypted during transmission over an office network.
All bizhub machines use the SSL encryption protocol, which is compatible with a host of network
protocols including LDAP, TCP/IP and FTP. Data is securely transmitted between networks and also between
PageScope Data Administrator or PageScope Web Connection and the main unit. The SSL protocol is a strong
safeguard against leaks and eavesdropping, ensuring the confidentiality of highly sensitive data such as
contact information being downloaded from an LDAP server.
Importing address data from the network requires an administrator-level password. If the device痴 administrator-level
password is incorrectly entered, it won稚 register. This security measure prevents data from being tampered with.
Konica Minolta products with internal device controllers use a real-time operating system that offers a high degree of safety against virus attacks. Machines that use EFI痴
external Fiery controllers are protected by timely security updates.
