Xerox First to Receive Security Authorization from FedRAMP for Cloud-Based Managed Print Services

U.S. government agencies can now meet federal security mandates,
consolidate sprawling and fragmented print infrastructures, and
better manage costs with a simplified procurement of Xerox
Corporation (NYSE: XRX) cloud managed print services (MPS). Xerox
sets the federal standard for security as the first MPS vendor to
receive authorization for its cloud-based services.
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP),
which standardizes security assessment, authorization and
monitoring for cloud products and services, includes vendors on a
centralized list accessible by all federal agencies. By using a
vendor on the list, federal agencies can reuse or leverage the
security assessment work already done by the FedRAMP Joint
Assessment Board in their own security and authorization process, a
considerable savings in time. With the right MPS solution in place,
agencies can achieve a boost of up to 20 percent in both
productivity and cost savings.
Xerox MPS in actionThe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
headquarters office awarded a contract to Xerox for an MPS solution
to optimize its workflow as part of a transition to a reduced
workspace environment.
“We wanted to use our relocation to transform our work
environment and better meet the demands of an increasingly digital
and virtual workforce,” said Mark Newcastle, printing management
officer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “The efficiencies created
by Xerox’s MPS solution resulted in a 90 percent decrease in
printing devices, consumables and reduced maintenance costs.”
Addressing the needs of federal agenciesThe U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service isn’t the only agency prioritizing print
efficiency. Every federal agency is under pressure to:
- meet federal executive orders to reduce
paper use and unnecessary printing;
- meet additional sustainability goals
such as power management and energy efficiency on all eligible
agency electronic products;
- increase security to close the print
security gap and reduce internal threats;
- and migrate document security to the
cloud.
“Xerox MPS for the U.S. federal government allows agencies to
meet federal mandates and goals using Xerox’s FedRAMP-authorized
cloud-based applications, saving them substantial time and money,”
said Mike Feldman, president, North America Operations, Xerox. “As
the only secure cloud MPS solution available through FedRAMP,
Xerox’s MPS allow agencies to redirect resources to deliver their
core missions and better serve citizens.”
Xerox’s MPS solution makes printing secureNinety percent
of federal IT security officials say they feel vulnerable to
security threats with 61 percent saying they’ve already experienced
a data breach1. Xerox’s FedRAMP-authorized MPS for U.S. federal
government solution offers a clear security advantage:
- FedRAMP-compliant cloud infrastructure
featuring a secure, point-to-point, Trusted Internet Connection
(TIC), which allows no connectivity to the public internet.
- National Institute of Systems and
Technology (NIST) certified application and architecture
design.
- Common Criteria Certification and
robust Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) controls,
encryption and cryptography standards for Xerox devices.
- Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.1/1.2
and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v3 investments, which
enhance device communication security.
- Government-standard encryption levels
implemented for systems and data traffic to ensure information is
secure and safe from internal or external exposure.
- Prevention of unauthorized access to
the SIPRNet, a system of interconnected computer networks used by
the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of State to
transmit information classified as “secret” or below.
- Digital identity requirements
compliance, enhanced data encryption, audit logging and analysis
capabilities from upgraded processes and procedures for ongoing
security vulnerability assessments.
