Protect your business information

The HP LaserJet Enterprise M506 printer series has a multitude of options to help you secure your environment. You can count on support for a number of solutions, along with built-in and optional security features such as PIN printing and an optional HP High-Performance Secure Hard Disk.

Protect your printer

As capabilities expand and devices become more integrated into your work, device security becomes increasingly important. These features help protect the M506 series:

• Embedded protection: Multi-level, built-in features help protect your printer against complex

security threats from boot up to shut down.2 – HP Sure Start helps ensure that the device BIOS boots up properly every time with unaltered

HP genuine code and without corruption, using the same technology as HP Elite Notebook PCs. If an anomaly is detected, the device will reboot to a known secure state.

– Whitelisting helps ensure that the device firmware loads properly with HP genuine code—

without corruption—every time.

– Run-time intrusion detection guards against malware, so the device continues general

operation without alteration or corruption.

• Code signing: Firmware signed by HP ensures that the firmware was produced by

HP (authenticity) and that the firmware has not been altered in any way (integrity).

• Firewall: The built-in device network firewall allows or denies access to specific TCP/UDP ports

and services.

• Physical port disablement: Host USB ports, network ports, and other physical ports can be

disabled to prevent unauthorized use.

• CA & Device Identity Certificates: This printer supports identity certificates signed by a

corporate certificate authority, which provides verification of identity and authenticity. This printer also supports CA certificates for validation of identity certificates. Certificates can enable secure end-to-end communications with the device when used with features like IPsec, Secure-IPP, ePrint, and more. Additional certificates can be stored for validating S/MIME email servers and

802.1x authentication.

• Authentication and authorization: Authentication can help your organization manage user

access, help secure access to management utilities, and avoid unwanted device configurations. Control access to the printer, device settings, and functions, with options like:

– Multiple embedded authentication methods. Print with a positive ID. With authentication

options available from the device, you can configure Windows/Kerberos authentication, LDAP authentication, and user PIN authentication that integrates with your existing infrastructure.

– Role-based device authentication and authorization with HP FutureSmart. With

HP FutureSmart, you have more control than ever before over device security and permission settings. IT administrators can decide who can interact with certain device capabilities— helping to make printing more secure, control access, and uphold site security policies.

– HP and third-party authentication solutions. With optional solutions like HP Access Control,

you can enable advanced authentication using proximity cards. The Hardware Integration Pocket on the control panel enables integration of select card readers.10

• Physical device protection: Both the device and the optional HP High-Performance Secure Hard

Disk20 can be physically secured from theft and tampering using a lock that requires a physical key for removal (this accessory must be purchased separately).

• Common Criteria Certification (CCC): CCC is a security certification recognized in 26 countries

worldwide. HP certifies the security functionality of its Enterprise LaserJet MFPs and printers to align with the IEEE 2600 imaging and printing security standard.

Protect your data

Your printer harbors sensitive information—make sure it’s not at risk. HP offers security features at every stage in your work.

Help protect data at rest with the following features:

• Storage encryption: Defend your data. The HP High-Performance Secure Hard Disk

as an optional feature on the M506 series and provides full hardware encryption.

• Secure Erase: The printer provides built-in capabilities for securely overwriting data stored on it,

allowing sensitive data to be safely removed. HP offers multiple mechanisms to erase stored data, including functionality that conforms to U.S. National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-88.

• Password protection: Stored passwords are encrypted to help provide protection of this critical

information.

• Secure keys, credentials, and certificates: For an extra level of security, the optional

HP Trusted Platform Module (TPM) accessory can be added to the device to strengthen protection of encrypted credentials and data by automatically sealing device encryption keys to the TPM, and it provides secure device identity by generating and protecting certificate private

keys.

Protect data in transit with these features:

• Network protection: Network-transmitted data can be protected with IPsec and print jobs can

also be encrypted using Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) over SSL/TLS.

• CipherSuite Encryption Strength: Encryption strength can be selected to prevent the use of

legacy or insecure protocols for data in transit.

• FIPS-140 Mode: Ensures device uses available FIPS-140 validated cryptographic modules for

TLS encryption, SNMPv3 signing and encryption, and signed certificates.

• Secure Encrypted Print with HP UPD 5.3.1 or later: For added security, choose end-to-end

Secure Encrypted Print. HP UPD27 provides true symmetric AES256 print job encryption and decryption from the client to the page based on a user-defined password using FIPS 140 validated cryptographic libraries from Microsoft.

• Management safeguards: Device management data that travels over the network between the

device and HP Web Jetadmin SNMPv3. HTTPS (HTTP over SSL/TLS) can be enforced so all connections to the device Embedded Web Server administration interface are securely encrypted.

• Secure Mobile Print: HP offers multiple options for secure mobile printing. For more

information, see “Stay connected with secure mobile printing options” on page 10.

and other management tools can also be protected using

is offered

Safeguard your physical documents

HP offers several optional solutions to help keep documents from falling into the wrong hands and help prevent fraud, such as:

• Pull printing: Have documents held and released only to the person who printed them. Pull

printing solutions help protect sensitive data by requiring authentication at the device, and give users the flexibility of pulling the documents from any device that is enabled with the solution.

– HP JetAdvantage Private Print: With HP’s cloud-based solution you get the advantages of

pull printing, without the complexity. It is simple to set up and does not require a server, installation, or maintenance. For more information, visit hpjetadvantage.com/ondemand.24

– HP Access Control Pull Print: This optional robust server-based solution offers multiple

forms of authentication including badge release, as well as enterprise level security, management, and scalability. For more information, visit hp.com/go/hpac.

• Embedded anti-fraud features: This is a valuable tool in sensitive documents like prescriptions,

birth certificates, or transcripts. Anti-fraud features are embedded before they are routed to the printer and printed on plain paper by using the optional HP and TROY Secure Document Printing solution.
