Xerox First to Receive Security Authorization from FedRAMP for Cloud-Based Manag ...

NORWALK, Conn. (BUSINESS WIRE) $XRX #FedRAMP 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

(NYSE: XRX) cloud

managed

(MPS). Xerox sets the federal standard for security as the first MPS vendor to

receive

authorization

for its cloud-based services.

The

Federal

(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 Authorization 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 action

The

U.S.

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 agencies

The 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

, 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 secure

Ninety percent of

federal IT security officials say they feel vulnerable to security

threats with 61 percent saying they’ve already experienced a data breach 1 .

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.
