Security is a hot topic in the computer industry as well as the print industry. Some are saying 60% of attacks are coming through a copier/printer. Although, we don’t believe that figure, we have the simple FAQs on security in the print industry.
There are two types of attacks: those that come from the inside and those from the outside.
- Insider attacks
- Theft of information
- Introduction of malware through or on a copier/printer
- Outsider attacks
- Using a copier/printer as an intrusion point
- Using a copier/printer as a host for malware
The answers to these attacks are pretty simple, but not always easy.
