In today’s connected world, security must be a top priority. However, a recent survey shows that only 39% of companies rank printer security as a priority. This is an unfortunate oversight that cyber-criminals are more than willing to take advantage of.
Ignoring Printer Security Can Be Costly
Printer-Related Data Breach
By the numbers…
53% of IT managers know their printers are vulnerable
64% believe that their printers might become infected with malware
Only 40% are confident in their ability to protect this element of their network
This means that there are many businesses at risk and vulnerable to a print-related data breach.
