KYOCERA Fleet Services Security White Paper Target Audience This white paper is intended for Kyocera customers, and other stakeholders, who are interested in learning how KYOCERA Fleet Services (KFS) can benefit their organization. Security of information assets handled by KFS is discussed throughout this document, as this is of paramount importance to both Kyocera and our customers. Version Notice KFS is constantly evolving, so changes to system functionality may be incorporated into later versions of this white paper, without prior notice. Introduction In today's networked office environments remote management of printers and multifunctional products (MFPs) is more cost effective than ever before. Advanced software tools capture device metrics by leveraging the World Wide Web. From a laptop or workstation, service providers have real-time visibility into exactly how a fleet is operating, locally and/or globally. Why is remote device management important? Harnessing the continuous flow of usage data is a proven way to optimize fleet uptime and dramatically increase workgroup productivity. Furthermore, the intelligence gathered from device metrics enables a service provider to quickly respond to their customers' present and future technology needs. Prior to widespread use of the Internet, device monitoring was an expensive proposition; a dedicated telephone line to each device and proprietary server software was required. Fast forward to the 21st Century and cloud-based solutions eliminate costly on-premises installation by sharing "on-demand" resources over the internet. Versatile, reliable and secure cloud-based solutions are now commonplace, such as Dropbox, Google Drive™, Apple® iCloud®. These file sharing and storage services offer anytime, anywhere access to valuable information assets. Adoption and implementation of KYOCERA Fleet Services (KFS) offers our customers the same opportunity to utilize a state-of-theart cloud platform, where extensive device analytics and controls streamline every aspect of fleet management. But how will this information benefit your organization? Is the system secure? This white paper answers these questions, and many others, so you can make an informed decision regarding KFS deployment within your organization. 4|PAGE
