SAMSUNG MFP SECURITY
8.
Secure Data
The "Secure Data" category of the Samsung Security Framework is
designed to protect your valuable data from threats while it is residing or
passing through the MFP. Confidential and private data such as patient
information, student records, client information in banks, insurance
companies, etc. must now be protected on an MFP in the same way a
server must be protected from unauthorized access. It is no longer
surprising to find MFPs and printers equipped with hard drives. These hard
drives store various types of hardcopy information such as, user
information, copy/scan/fax/print images from processed jobs, and device
activity logs. Some or all of the information on the hard drives need to be
protected securely. Hard drive overwriting technology and encryption are
industry standard methods for securely protecting the data.
Samsung's "Secure Data" protects your valuable data by using advanced
security features like Encryption of the hard drives, scans and Network printing, and hard drive image overwriting.

8.1.1
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Encryption
To protect the confidentiality of the data stored on a computer HDD, encryption is used. Data on the HDD is written in
plain text which makes it available for everyone to read. To prevent this from occurring, HDD encryption is required.
Samsung MFPs protect data by using built-in AES-256 HDD encryption technology.
