Is your printer secure, Sally?

If printers are connected to a company’s network, they are just as vulnerable to cyber attacks as a computer. Printers may be even more susceptible given they are often unprotected and overlooked as a network access point.

More than ever, businesses and government organizations with Large Format printers need to protect their most important, confidential, and sensitive information within their office and on their networks. And if you are still operating on a device that is no longer receiving Security patch support, you may be more vulnerable than you realize. 


The models no longer supported are listed in the below table. 

If you have an unsecured printer, you risk...

• Confidential data stolen or sold

• A ransomware attack

• Monetary theft – payment details stolen

• Commands to your printer to randomly print

• Commands to your printer to shut off

• Device “bricking” – rendering it useless

• Data deletion
