Secure Your Transition to the Hybrid Workplace
New platforms and processes that enable remote and on-site employees to collaborate and work more effectively are key to a successful hybrid work program. However, many organizations are still trying to figure out efficient and safe solutions for print workflows that perform for both hybrid and in-office staff. Download this helpful article showing how to protect your office and hybrid printing from cybercrime.
How are organizations adapting to hybrid workplaces?
Organizations are recalibrating their approach to virtual workplaces by adopting new platforms and processes that facilitate collaboration between remote and on-site employees. This includes ensuring that employees who work in the office have efficient ways to collaborate on paper-based workflows, particularly in departments like HR and finance where such processes are prevalent.
What security risks do printers pose in a hybrid work environment?
Printers are often overlooked in security strategies, making them more vulnerable than other endpoints. They are connected to the corporate network and accessed by multiple users, which increases the risk of cyberattacks. Many organizations mistakenly believe their printers are protected by firewalls, but they are frequently not included in threat monitoring systems, leaving them susceptible to malware and other security breaches.
How can organizations enhance printer security?
Organizations can enhance printer security by implementing advanced features such as HP Sure Start, which ensures a secure boot process, and HP Connection Inspector, which monitors outgoing network connections for suspicious activity. Additionally, using whitelisting to verify printer firmware and requiring authentication for print jobs can help safeguard sensitive information and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
