Thank you for choosing Konica Minolta products.
 
Konica Minolta received a question from a few customers on vulnerability concern on MFP and Printer connected to the internet, we would like to inform of the way securely using MFP/Printer in networks.
 
Konica Minolta MFPs should be used within a protected network environment such as Firewall, and also used with the standard security settings. By using these functions, you can minimize the risk of encountering a data breach or unauthorized use.
 
Konica Minolta has established a system to answer security issues for customers to ensure that they recognize the importance of security.
 
The most important thing for us is to provide safe and secured products to our customers. We continue to provide up-to-date safety information.
 
Please re-check your security settings once again to secure your data. If you require any assistance regarding security settings etc. please contact our sales representatives or customer service centre.
 
Recommended Actions
 
1. Protect their networks with firewalls in order to block unauthorized access from external networks.
 
2. Recommend customers that regularly update passwords such as administrator password, user authentication password, and password to access SMB folders.
 
3. Enable “IP address filtering” setting in Admin mode in order to restrict access from an unspecified location on the capable MFP models.
