7 Security features

Overview

In today’s world there are many security threats to your network and the data that travels over it. Your Brother machine employs some of the latest network security and encryption protocols available today. These network features can be integrated into your overall network security plan to help protect your data and prevent unauthorized access to the machine. This chapter explains how to configure them.

You can configure the following security features:

•	Managing your network machine securely using SSL/TLS (See Managing your network machine securely using SSL/TLS.)
•	Managing your network machine securely using SNMPv3 protocol (See Secure Management using Web Based Management (web browser) or Secure Management using BRAdmin Professional 3 (Windows^®).)
•	Secure Management using BRAdmin Professional 3 (Windows^®) (See Secure Management using BRAdmin Professional 3 (Windows^®).)
•	Sending an E-mail securely (See Sending an E-mail securely.)
•	Using IEEE 802.1x authentication (See Using IEEE 802.1x authentication.)
•	Certificate for secure management (See Using Certificates for device security.)
•	Managing multiple certificates (See Managing multiple certificates.)

Note

We recommend disabling the FTP and TFTP protocols. Accessing the machine using these protocols is not secure. (For how to configure the protocol settings, see How to configure the machine settings using Web Based Management (web browser).) If you disable FTP, the Scan to FTP function will be disabled.
