Wondering if your devices are vulnerable? Security threats are no longer limited to personal computers, servers or networks. Printing devices - even basic laser printers need countermeasures against a diverse range of threats.
As multifunction printers have evolved into true information terminals, they have become core IT assets in their own right. The computing capability of what have been traditionally categorised as “Printer/Copiers” has grown, but so too have potential threats — which can include:
Malicious access via networks
The tapping and alteration of information over the network
Information leaks from HDD storage media
Unauthorised access via a device’s operation panel
Improper access through fax telephone lines
Information leaks via hard copy
Security policy breaches due to carelessness
Simply hoping you don’t get hit is not the answer. Superior technology, commitment and know-how are essential.
Ricoh can help you tackle potential issues caused by vulnerabilities in your devices, the data they process and the networks to which they connect.
