Difficulty: MediumMultifunction Devices and Printer Configuration

A network administrator is hardening a newly deployed multifunction device (MFD) that processes confidential personnel records. Security policies require that document data residing on the printer's internal disk must be protected from unauthorized physical extraction and that print jobs must not remain unattended in the output tray. Which TWO configuration settings should the administrator enable on the device to meet these security requirements?

  1. Local storage hard drive encryptionAnswer
  2. Secure Print (PIN/badge user authentication)Answer
  3. C
    Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) configuration
  4. D
    HTTP port 80 management redirection for the Embedded Web Server
  5. E
    Bypassing the fuser assembly step for confidential jobs

Answer

Enabling local storage hard drive encryption and configuring Secure Print (PIN/badge authentication) fulfills the data confidentiality and unattended document retrieval security mandates.
To satisfy security requirements for data at rest and physical document collection, hard drive encryption protects cached documents stored on the MFD's internal drive, while Secure Print ensures documents are only printed when the user physically authenticates at the device control panel.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the threat of unauthorized physical disk access and data remanence on the MFD.
Local storage hard drive encryption protects stored job data and swap files on the MFD's internal drive from physical theft or extraction.
MFDs utilize internal storage drives to buffer large print jobs and store scanned documents, making drive encryption essential for confidential data compliance.
2
Identify the threat of sensitive hard-copy documents being left unattended in the paper tray.
Secure Print forces job release only after user authentication at the physical device.
Requiring a PIN, password, or badge tap at the MFD console ensures that the user is physically present to collect sensitive prints as soon as they are generated.
