Konica Minolta’s new bizhub i-Series printers
Discover how Konica Minolta’s new bizhub i-Series printers offer enhanced security features to protect your organisation from cyber threats.
Better Print Security
In today’s digital age, ensuring the security of print infrastructure is crucial for organisations of all sizes. According to the latest Quocirca report, only 11% of organisations with 250 to 499 employees and 27% with 500 to 999 employees are fully confident in the security of their print infrastructure. Recognising this growing concern, Konica Minolta has introduced its new bizhub i-Series, which offers advanced security features to address these issues effectively.
The new range consists of 21 devices, including colour and black and white options for A3 and A4 sizes, focusing on enhancing security and improving ease of use in the workplace. One key feature that sets apart the new bizhub i-Series is the “Authentication Attack Detection” feature, which allows organisations to block unauthorised attempts from brute force attacks aimed at cracking passwords and accessing data externally. With reports showing a 160% annual growth in brute force attacks, this feature is essential for safeguarding sensitive information.
Additionally, organisations can opt for Bitdefender protection, providing additional layers of security tailored for various user groups. This helps prevent malware from spreading to other networked devices and ensures that the MFP does not serve as a gateway for corporate data loss. In case of threat detection, the anti-virus promptly notifies the IT administrator with detailed information on the threat’s type and source, while end-users can monitor the anti-virus status via the home screen easily.
More User Friendly
Apart from enhanced security features, the latest models boast improved user-friendliness to streamline workflows in the workplace. The user interface has been upgraded to be more intuitive, enabling users to group applications into folders by theme or frequency of use, like smartphones. This makes it easier to access applications quickly, especially when dealing with many of them. Moreover, commonly used functions that previously required installation via Marketplace are now preinstalled as standard, enhancing user convenience.
Furthermore, single sign-on options for Microsoft Azure (Microsoft Entra ID) and Google Workspace users have been integrated into the latest models, simplifying access to files or folders through SSO. The option to include up to four trays or three optional trays for A4 devices increases paper capacity, allowing a wider range of media to be handled in a single print job while reducing media replenishment needs.
The Konica Minolta’s new bizhub i-Series printers offer a comprehensive solution for organisations looking to enhance both security and user-friendliness in their workplace environment. By investing in these advanced systems, businesses can stay ahead of cyber threats while boosting efficiency and productivity within their teams.
