Modern multifunction printers (MFPs) are equipped with internal hard drives, just like a computer. These hard drives capture and store the information from all of the documents that they process. Oftentimes, this information is sensitive data that could be a liability should it fall into the wrong hands. As is the case with computers, your printers are vulnerable to attacks from hackers once they are networked.
Unfortunately, the majority of small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) do not consider document security to be a priority. According to a 2017 survey of IT decision makers and influencers for US companies by Keypoint Intelligence-InfoTrends, only 38 percent stated document security is a priority for their SMB. Even more disturbing, document security is less of a priority to SMBs than the ability to view documents on a smartphone (40 percent).
