Yet, despite these numbers, IT confidence in printer security remains low.
To help make printers, and the transmitted data, secure, HP brings its client endpoint security to its enterprise laser printers. These measures, including HP SureStart, Secure White Listing, and run-time intrusion detection technology, sit on top of common baseline security measures, including device protection, data privacy and encryption, the latest key security standards and access control.
HP’s security solution
If these features aren’t hardware dependent, HP claims that these security features can be implemented on printers as old as 2010 through firmware upgrades. This means that if users aren’t ready to upgrade to a new printer, they can update their printer to become more secure.
The first feature, known as HP …read more
