Sharp Doubles Down on Security Services with ConnectWise

By Anne Valaitis, Keypoint Intelligence – Print devices must be considered in an organization’s overall security plan to maintain a solid security posture. As the effects of a remote workforce and a difficult IT labor market continue, security remains a primary focus while cyberthreats increase in frequency and sophistication. MFPs and printers are targeted by cyberthreats because they are a vital, often overlooked component of a company’s document workflow and operation.

IT solution provider ConnectWise and Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA) recently announced a strategic partnership to realize their shared vision of offering secure and effective managed services through their extensive channel partner networks. The announcement was made at the Sharp National Dealer Meeting 2023. Its Print Security Service will be the first of many services and offers unique visibility into print security for Sharp devices.
