Multifunction printer security isn't getting any easier--it's only getting more important. As hackers find new ways to exploit unseen vulnerabilities, it's up to you to defend your machines, data, and business overall. Here's what you need to know.
MFP Security for Small Businesses
Here's the thing about printer security: No one is immune to digital dangers--not even small businesses.
In fact, small businesses are sometimes a hacker's first target. That's because you're viewed as easy prey--a less experienced company with fewer resources, a limited budget, and the kind of complacency that comes from assuming you're too small to be of any interest.
Even if these things aren't true, they're convincing enough to hackers and other digital criminals. That means your company needs to get smart about all kinds of security--and that's especially true when it comes to multifunction printer security.
Why? Well, in the same way, that small businesses are targeted because they assume they won't be, printers are targeted because businesses don't imagine that an everyday office device would be of any use to a hacker.
