Ricoh’s layered approach to network printer security
At the heart of our printer security model is the device itself. The proprietary Ricoh operating system does not share vulnerabilities that are present in many operating systems, and many of our multifunction devices are certified to be IEEE 2600.2 as standard. Hard disk encryption and disk overwrite security ensure that processed data remains confidential.
Ricoh has worked hard to ensure that printer security is not weakened by the introduction of the Smart Operation Panel, which also uses a Ricoh-only OS. Unnecessary components are not installed, and root access is not available. Embedded applications must pass Ricoh compatibility testing and be digitally signed before they can run on the Smart Operation Panel. Ricoh’s commitment is to deliver products and services that comply with our customers’ IT and network security policies.
