Is your printer secure?
If you have a WiFi printer connected to your network (and many of us do) you have a potential open door into the back end of your system, especially if your printer is more than five years old.

Our clients are often careful to set passwords and security features to routers, modems and servers, but forget that printers, too, are computing devices with direct connection to their data. Recent security hacks have exposed the vulnerabilities printers can place on a system. Read below for some hints to keep your printers safe.

Our printer network is very secure. Is yours?
Lock down your printer to keep out hackers.
Beeline and Blue has a full-time technology guru (thank you Bryan!) who keeps our printers locked down and our network secure. But we know not everyone has a Bryan to guard against spammy emails and malicious uploads.

Bryan says it's critical to keep your printer's software updated and your WiFi networks tight with secure passwords. When possible keep sensitive data offline or on separate secure networks away from guest users.

Bryan's tips to help keep your printer and network secure
Keep your printer up-to-date and current on upgrades. Often those patches include security updates. If your printer is more than five years old, consider an upgrade. Older units lack the security features of today's printers.

Print direct via a USB connection. If the printer isn't on the network, it is less of a risk. To be safe, set passwords or PIN numbers to allow access to printing when possible.

Connect through the guest WiFi network. Keep your printer isolated from sensitive data by running it on a network separate from company servers.

Beeline and Blue has the highest level of security possible. All uploaded files are reviewed before they are released to our system. We run multiple networks to keep the system safe and our printers are constantly receiving updates and patches to mitigate risk and improve performance. You can trust your files here.
