Cybersecurity Becomes a Challenge for Management

Cybersecurity threats are no longer just an IT department issue, but a board-level concern. This is due to the increasing number of hybrid work, credential theft, and ransomware attacks, as well as stricter compliance requirements. Companies are now better understanding the impact of incidents on operational continuity, reputation, and compliance.

The printing process is often overlooked, with many companies considering it a routine operational function rather than a connected part of their IT infrastructure. However, printers and document management solutions process sensitive information and can become vulnerable if not updated, monitored, and accessed properly.

To improve security without overloading the IT environment, companies can take practical measures such as access control, multifactor authentication, and encryption. Secure printing with device authentication can also reduce the risk of unauthorized access and information loss.
