Netgard MFD Security Appliance for HP Wide Format Device

The Netgard MFD Security Appliance is a drop-in, in-line, multi-factor, user authentication and encryption solution for networked, special-purpose devices such as the HP wide format printers and multi-function printer/scanner/copiers. It enables US government agencies to make any HP wide format printer or multi-function device compliant with the Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12). This appliance protects networks by requiring users to authenticate themselves with a smartcard and personal identification number (PIN), thereby preventing unauthorized users from accessing privileged materials or distributing unauthorized material.
