"When printer platform security is proactively managed and built-in at the foundations, organizations can reduce risks such as data theft, print job interception, ransomware, zero-day, and man-in-the-middle attacks.”

Steve Inch, Global Senior Print Security Strategist & Product Management Lead, HP Inc.

"Printers and other IoT are powerful computing devices, making them attractive targets for attackers to exploit and use as footholds into enterprise infrastructure. As such, organizations must learn to develop mature security requirements when procuring new devices, and to proactively manage their security configuration over the entire device lifecycle.”
