FAIRFIELD, N.J. and STERLING, Va. – November 10, 2009 - Kyocera Mita America, Inc., one of the world's leading document solutions companies, and API Cryptek, a leading provider of secure networking products and solutions, today announced that select Kyocera multifunctional products (MFPs) provide complete device locking security capabilities through API Cryptek’s Netgard™ MFD card reader appliance.
With the implementation of this new solution, end users who wish to access standard full functions of a Kyocera MFP, including copy, scan, e-mail and fax, will be required to authenticate with their U.S. Department of Defense-issued CAC/PIV Card (Common Access Card/Personal Identity Verification) and their personal identification number (PIN) via API Cryptek’s Netgard MFD. With this advanced security in place, Kyocera MFPs are securely locked from performing tasks until the user has been successfully identified. Utilizing the Netgard MFD with Kyocera’s MFPs effectively secures the device and prevents unauthorized users from accessing privileged materials or tampering with network resources.
“Kyocera has long been at the forefront of document security, and with our strategic alliance with API Cryptek’s securing technology, Kyocera will continue to offer advanced security options for today’s government agencies,” said Peter Hendrick, vice president, marketing for Kyocera Mita America. “As more organizations seek to further strengthen the security protection of their peripheral network access points, our technological partnership with API Cryptek will allow Kyocera to provide the most sophisticated security features to address the increasingly sophisticated nature of data security.”
