Why is print security often overlooked?
Printing has not traditionally been viewed as a security weak point, leading to a lack of assigned responsibility for print security. This is especially true in understaffed organizations where employees juggle multiple roles. Additionally, the awareness of print-related vulnerabilities has not translated into specific practices or protocols, leaving companies exposed to risks such as unattended printouts and employees not logging out after printing sensitive documents.
How can companies improve their print security?
Companies can take several steps to improve print security, including conducting thorough audits of their print infrastructure, changing default admin passwords to more secure options, ensuring firmware is up to date, implementing end-to-end encryption for document transfers, monitoring devices for security events, and training employees on the importance of safeguarding sensitive information.
What role does leadership play in print security?
Leadership plays a crucial role in print security as it is no longer just an IT issue. It is essential for both the Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer to be strategically involved in print security discussions. In fact, 79% of companies recognize that print security is very important, highlighting the need for a unified approach to address these vulnerabilities.
