Did you know your organization’s printers can be a hole in your security posture?

Microsoft reports over 300 million fraudulent sign-in attempts to their cloud services every day—and according to the Ponemon Institute, the average person has at least five accounts with the same password.

When (not if) hackers crack the code on one of your passwords, they’ll have gained access to multiple accounts and devices—and it only takes one compromised account or legacy application (or device!) to trigger a data breach.

One example of IoT devices whose security is often overlooked are network-connected printers. Many organizations aren’t vigilant about printer security, even though smart printers are accessible via the internet and connected to your network. This results in a potentially significant vulnerability in your security posture.You need printer security to safeguard sensitive data

If your staff (or you) share passwords across multiple platforms, a compromised login to print password could turn up the password for data-rich user devices or even IT admin credentials. And hackers take advantage of gateways like these to access your home or business network.

Office and remote staff are printing sensitive data—and some printers actually store copies of data in their memory. Because of this, utilizing common printer ports, protocols, and unsecured or outdated printers make you a vulnerable target.

With an unprecedented number of hybrid workers, printers connected to networks and other organizational assets are increasingly becoming a target for malicious attacks.
