Third-party testing confirms strong protection of bizhub i-Series against device-level cyber threats
The Konica Minolta bizhub i-Series has earned the Security Validation Seal for Device Penetration from Keypoint Intelligence, a leading market research firm and independent evaluator of print and smart technology and services. The evaluation was carried out by security specialists using a combination of automated vulnerability assessment and hands-on manual issue verification. The goal was to identify weaknesses in device firmware, operating system components, web interfaces, ports, protocols, and related network-exposed services.
The Device Penetration track of Keypoint Intelligence’s Security Validation Testing program is designed to evaluate whether network-connected printers and MFPs are appropriately protected against likely attack vectors. The assessment includes reconnaissance and network mapping, automated vulnerability scans, manual verification of findings, and targeted exploitation techniques focused on areas such as authentication, session management, unsecure services, exposed protocols, input validation, information leakage, and other device-level weaknesses.
Results confirmed that Konica Minolta devices running bizhub i-Series firmware and configured with the recommended settings were well-protected against a wide range of anticipated threats. The Security Validation Device Penetration seal is awarded when no vulnerabilities are deemed High or Critical risk on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scale, with any Medium-risk findings evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
