This document discusses how printing poses security risks and outlines strategies to prevent print-related data breaches. It notes that many organizations have experienced print breaches and few have secure printing initiatives. It then explains why printing is vulnerable, such as lack of strategy and device management. The risks of sensitive printouts being abandoned or indistinguishable are covered. Finally, it proposes solutions like context-aware printing controls, smart pull-printing that requires authentication, dynamic watermarking, and comprehensive logging to secure printouts and minimize breaches.
