printer security

Print security is an important goal for any business, but that doesn't make it an easy one. Luckily, with a few savvy security solutions and a little bit of work, you can make sure your printers are working for you safely and efficiently. Let's get started!

The Security Game

The truth about print security is that it's like an ever-changing game between you and the digital "bad guys." Those "bad guys" can be anything from hackers to online thieves to natural disasters like floods or fires; the truth is that, as long as the business world faces threats that are changing, growing, and becoming more sophisticated, it will be a constant challenge to implement security processes that answer those threats. Basically, the danger is never stagnant, so you can't be either--which means that you have to know how to put your printers to work for you in the safest and most efficient ways possible.

Want to get started? Here are three steps that will take your print security game to the next level!

Step #1: Use data encryption.

Data encryption is the ultimate safety net. It helps make all your processes safer, even when you use mobile and cloud applications, and essentially makes sure that, even if your print security fails in one area, a hacker couldn't use your data.

Step #2: Start implementing user authentication solutions.

Plenty of workflow solutions make it possible to authenticate users at the printer before they can access a document or complete a print job--and that's an instant boost to your print security, keeping data in the right hands.

Step #3: Wipe your hard drives.

Today's printers store almost everything on their hard drives, which means that, if you don't wipe those hard drives, you could essentially be handing over your data to whoever gets that printer next. Always clean hard drives!
