Closing the print securToday, many organisations continue to rely on printing to support business processes, particularly in the public sector, finance industry and legal profession. Networked printers and multifunction peripherals (MFPs) have evolved to become integral to the network, operating as sophisticated document processing hubs. With the ability to print, copy, scan to network destinations and send email attachments, these devices come equipped with hard disk drives and often run internal web servers.

With reported data breaches on the rise and growing industry and regulatory requirements around information security, businesses may suffer financial and reputational damage if they ignore the risks of unsecured printing.ity gapClosing the print security gap
