These days, Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and their teams have their work cut out for them. It is their job to identify and reduce security risks, as well as monitor for signs of intrusion across an ever-growing attack surface. Against this backdrop, they are also under pressure to deliver cyber resilience and meet increasing regulatory demands, both at a national and industry level.
But for many organizations, there is a major gap in their capabilities: printer security. Modern printers are intelligent, network-connected devices that store and process sensitive information. When security isn’t prioritized across the print lifecycle, organizations may unknowingly introduce vulnerabilities. In fact, HP’s Print Lifecycle Security Report shows that only 33% of Canadian organizations apply firmware updates promptly, while 41% can’t confirm whether printers have been tampered with in transit or at the factory.
Without consistent visibility and controls, gaps in print infrastructure can be harder to detect and secure. And while IT teams dedicate time to device management, print environments are often left out of broader endpoint strategies.
HP Print Security is helping CISOs close that gap, with built-in threat detection, policy-based compliance tools, and centralized fleet management designed to strengthen endpoint resilience without disrupting productivity. |
