Manufacturer Industry News: Xerox and Security

In an effort to address the significant threat of hacking that impacts businesses -- large, mid-size, and small alike -- Xerox partners with McAfee to ensure Xerox multifunction printers are protected.

The numbers are shocking:

• Over 2,000 data breaches reported (while actual numbers are likely much higher)
• Businesses can lose between $25,000 and $67,000 if the records breached number 100-1,000
• 90% of breaches come externally
• There are 50,000 new threats every day

A significant number of attacks on businesses aren't meant just for the company itself -- hackers are targeting customers through businesses in order to infect the largest number of devices possible. Xerox reports that as much as 70% of known attacks on businesses have that secondary target of the business's customers.

Xerox and McAfee together help keep your MFPs safe. Many MFPs with security functions only blacklist -- prevent things from running. Xerox MFPs whitelist -- that is, they determine what can run. In addition, McAfee and Xerox offer significant protection that's ongoing. That means you don't have to worry about constant updates or manually checking to ensure the device is covered. Your Xerox MFP takes care of everything.

With Xerox MFPs and Document Security from EDGE, you can rest assured that you have the most protection available to keep you -- and your customers -- safe from attacks.
