Secure Management

The Secure Management category of the Samsung Security Framework is
designed to protect the logging and notification features of the MFP. The
can contain sensitive information that is useful to administrators and
managers. The sensitivity of this information requires that it be protected
unauthorized access. While the notification pathways must be secured
unauthorized redirection or snooping.
The logging and notification features protected by Secure Management
include the following:
•

Logging (Job Auditing)

•
System Back-up
•
Email Notification.
11.1 Logging (Job Auditing)
Samsung MFPs track events and actions for logged-on users such as, print jobs, scan jobs, and fax jobs. Job Auditing
tracks the following metrics:
•
Who (ID)
•
Job (Print, Scan, Fax...)
•
When (Time and Date Stamp)
While the Stamp feature can add useful tags to the documents, this feature allows the Administrator to manage and
monitor all of the jobs, MFP operations, and events on the MFP. All of this log information is stored on the MFP HDD. Log
data stored on the MFP HDD can be exported and backed up to an external server. There are 3 types of logs kept on the
MFP, these include the following:
•
Job Log
•
Operation Log
•
Security Event Log
These audit logs track data requests, changes to the security audit functions, image overwriting –result and
inquiries/changes to the security audit configuration. Because Log data is only available to authorized web administrators,
unauthorized users cannot change or delete them. Log data can be downloaded by using the Web UI for viewing and
analysis. When the MFP HDD storage is full of log data, the latest records overwrite the oldest audit records.
