Tomorrow sees the close of Cyber Security Awareness Month 2015, where continued emphasis has been placed on the importance for organizations to address the information security gap within the cyber-field.
Specifically within MPS, this year’s discussions indicate that the majority of businesses have been found to be vulnerable to a possible data breach because of poor printer related security practices and lax access controls for printers and multifunction printers1. Especially vulnerable are organizations from heavily regulated industries, including Finance and Healthcare, who have a higher per capita data breach cost.
Until a secure print solution is in place, organizations are at risk of a security breach and sizable fines, due to unmanaged paper-based processes. This presents an opportunity for managed print services providers to add value to their engagements by offering a sustainable solution for data loss prevention.
Here is a roundup of the key topics, regarding securing the on-ramp and off-ramp of information from core business systems and printers and multifunction devices.
