As businesses enter the new year, cybersecurity is no longer optional – it’s essential. With rising cyber threats, stricter compliance requirements, and hybrid work now the norm, organizations must secure every endpoint that touches sensitive data.
One of the most commonly overlooked risks? Printers and multifunction devices (MFPs).
Modern Xerox MFPs are intelligent, network-connected endpoints. They scan, store, transmit, and route critical business information every day – making them a key part of your security strategy, not just office equipment.
Printers Are Endpoints – and NIST Treats Them That Way
NIST guidance makes it clear: all connected devices must be identified, protected, monitored, and controlled. An unsecured printer can become a network entry point or a source of data exposure.
That’s why Xerox designs its MFPs using a Zero Trust security model, aligned with:
- NIST SP 800-207 (Zero Trust Architecture)
- NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)
Zero Trust means nothing is trusted by default – every user, device, and action must be verified.
How Xerox Zero Trust MFPs Align with NIST
Xerox MFPs support NIST-aligned security by:
- Identifying devices as managed network endpoints
- Protecting data with secure boot, firmware validation, encryption, and strong user authentication
- Detecting threats through continuous monitoring and audit logs
- Responding quickly with centralized device management
- Recovering through secure firmware and configuration controls
This approach helps organizations reduce risk, support compliance, and protect sensitive data without slowing productivity.
Security That Supports How You Work Today
Xerox Zero Trust security is built to support modern business needs – cloud workflows, hybrid work, and secure digital document processes – while giving IT teams visibility and control.
