Security Is Only as Strong as the Weakest Link

Every link in the chain is critical: every access point and every connection; every protocol, setting, and function; every print, copy, and scan. While ransomware, the phishing schemes, the trojans and other malware attacks get most of the attention, comprehensive data security is about more than network breaches and external bad actors. It’s about the documents themselves, which when printed or scanned can get into the wrong hands, even accidentally. It’s about restricting access to device functionality, to prevent unauthorized duplication or sharing. Brother understands the need to protect against every type of threat, which is why our printers, all-in-ones, and scanners provide Triple Layer Security – protection at all three levels: device, document, and network.

Triple Layer Security: Device, Document, Network

Every link in the chain is critical: every access point and every connection; every protocol, setting, and function; every print, copy, and scan. While ransomware, the phishing schemes, the trojans and other malware attacks get most of the attention, comprehensive data security is about more than network breaches and external bad actors. It’s about the documents themselves, which when printed or scanned can get into the wrong hands, even accidentally. It’s about restricting access to device functionality, to prevent unauthorized duplication or sharing. Brother understands the need to protect against every type of threat, which is why our printers, all-in-ones, and scanners provide Triple Layer Security –protection at all three levels: device, document, and network.

Device Security

Triple Layer Security begins at the device. Who should have access? Which functions are available to which user? Brother printers, all-in-ones, and scanners can limit device access for certain groups or specific individuals, including restricting particular functions. Built-in security features can be complemented with easily integrated third-party solutions.

Document Security

When a document is printed, who can retrieve it? When a document is scanned, where can it be sent? Brother offers a wide range of built-in document security features for printers, all-in-ones, and scanners. Brother devices are also compatible with many third-party document security solutions.

Network Security: Ransomware, Phishing Schemes, Trojans, Malware, and More

Protecting your network from external bad actors is foundational to every organization’s security plan. In fact, unsecured printers are often hackers’ favorite access points. Brother devices feature the latest protocols and can be easily configured to meet the demands of your unique security policies. When combined with monitoring and management capabilities, Brother helps ensure your network security is up to date.
