“There is no doubt that cybersecurity is a major issue facing organisations of all types and sizes. Indeed, Keypoint Intelligence studies consistently have shown that information and data security is viewed as the top priority for IT managers and decision makers surveyed,” said Jamie Bsales, Keypoint Intelligence’s Director of Smart Workplace & Security Analysis. “With products that sit at the intersection of the internal network and the public internet, document imaging vendors are in a unique position to help customers secure not only their document streams but the wider networks, as well.”
For this study, Keypoint Intelligence invited all leading document imaging OEMs to complete an exhaustive questionnaire detailing their overall vision when it comes to the security of their customers’ data and infrastructure, steps they have taken to educate dealer partners and customers about security, specific MFP/printer hardware and firmware security features in place to secure their products, and security-oriented software products the company offers. Participating OEMs were also asked to make key personnel available for in-depth interviews with Keypoint Intelligence analysts to give a more complete picture of their strategies and offerings.
After gathering this data, analysts used a proprietary rating scale to determine the BLI PaceSetter award winners.
“Each participating OEM had a compelling story to tell, with strengths in various areas,” noted Bsales. “Most notably, our study showed that all participating OEMs have done an excellent job of hardening their business-class output devices against potential threats.”
