Although MFP security generally needs to be built over time, there are some solutions that can be implemented in just a few minutes. All you have to do is put your focus in the right place--and these tips can make it happen. Let's jump in!
The Best Machines for Multifunction Printer Security
Even the best MFP security won't be as effective as possible if your machines themselves aren't up to the challenge. That's why it's smart to start off on the right foot and choose printers that have all the best security features and functions.
While many printers have some level of security, HP multifunction printers stand out from the crowd. Smart, powerful, and equipped with built-in security solutions that help support your entire network, these machines are a great way to ensure that your security efforts go even further.
The best part is that HP multifunction printers never sacrifice speed or quality for these advanced security offerings. You get great performance across the board (and a great price, too).
Quick MFP Security Tips
Once you have the right printers in your fleet, it's time to find out what you can do to keep them even safer. Luckily, these MFP security tips only take a few minutes and do a whole lot of good:
#1: Change default passwords.
Default passwords are well-known in the hacker community, so don't fall into this trap. Instead, use full phrases as passwords and avoid any easily guessed information (like your company's location).
#2: Double-check your software.
Software updates often include security patches--and that's a must for multifunction printer security. Update your machines regularly to avoid issues.
#3: Update your print guidelines.
Print guidelines help employees know how to build safe, smart printing habits. Make sure you update your guidelines regularly and whenever you add new printers, software, or workflows to your environment.
Conclusion
There's a perfect combination for MFP security--and that's the right machines and the right habits. Put these things together and you'll have a much easier time protecting your data, networks, and printers themselves.
