Third-party testing validates that properly configured devices running the latest firmware and controller platform are safeguarded against a broad range of anticipated security vulnerabilities<\/i><\/p>\n

FAIRFIELD, N.J.<\/span>, March 30, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Keypoint Intelligence, the leading market research firm and independent evaluator of print and smart technology and services, today announced that Konica Minolta bizhub i-Series Firmware has earned the Keypoint Intelligence Security Validation Seal for Device Penetration. Testing was conducted by security specialists using a combination of automated vulnerability assessment, hands-on manual issue verification, and exploitation attempts designed to identify weaknesses in device firmware, operating system components, web interfaces, ports, protocols, and related network-exposed services.<\/p>\n

The Device Penetration track of Keypoint Intelligence’s Security Validation Testing program evaluates 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. Focus areas include authentication, session management, exposed protocols, information leakage, and other device-level weaknesses.<\/p>\n

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 earned when no vulnerabilities are deemed a High or Critical risk on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scale, with any Medium-risk findings evaluated on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n

"Too often, IT teams focus on PCs, servers, and network infrastructure when evaluating and monitoring for cybersecurity vulnerabilities, but printers and MFPs are also network endpoints that can present meaningful risk," noted Jamie Bsales<\/a>, Principal Analyst of Smart Workplace & Security in Keypoint Intelligence’s Workplace Group. "It is incumbent upon OEMs to ensure that their devices have the features to secure the data the printers handle as well as the wider network, and our testing showed that the bizhub i-Series platform demonstrated strong protections against common device penetration threats."<\/p>\n

The Keypoint Intelligence Security Validation testing program has become a benchmark in the office peripherals industry and helps position the security of OEM products using consistent testing processes and methodologies.<\/p>\n
