This document discusses how printers can pose security risks in educational institutions if not properly secured. It notes that printers now have computing and storage capabilities and can process and route student data and financial information. It states that data breaches involving printers can be costly for schools. However, HP printers and JetAdvantage solutions are described as providing security and efficiency by intelligently routing information and protecting personal data. These solutions aim to improve academic achievement by enabling secure access to curricula from any location.

1. You see a printer. I see academic achievement.

• A data breach can have immediate costs. The Ponemon Institute
estimates that in education the average cost could be as high as $300
per lost or stolen record.1
• And perhaps most overlooked, but potentially harmful of all, are the non-
reported breaches. In a study conducted by Quocirca, research revealed
that over 70% of respondents admitted that they have experienced a
print-related data breach.2

Printers are computers
The days of passively outputting paper are long gone; even simple multifunction is behind us. Printers don’t just print,
fax, scan and copy anymore. They now have internal computing, storage, and software solutions that can intelligently
process, route, and secure students’ personally identifiable information, assessment results, and parents’ financial
information—or not.
HP printers lead the industry
HP printers can provide data routing solutions that get information where and when you need it— and do all of that with
industry-leading security. Because nobody benefits from inefficient processes and communications, or theft of personal
information from an open output tray—least of all, your students. But students, teachers, and administrators alike
appreciate efficiency and security.
Academic achievement
That’s what HP JetAdvantage Solutions for Education are all about. Find out today how you can access all of these
solutions and more from a single HP device.

5. Key security insights for shared printing environments
• Unsecured printers can open the entire network to
a cybersecurity attack
• Users can change device settings, access data, or
send scanned documents anywhere
• Too many confidential print jobs get left
uncollected
• Security breaches can be costly, especially if
customer data is compromised
• Mobile workers need to print wherever they are—
without sacrificing security
• IT needs tools to manage security across the fleet
more efficiently
