Security Risk Solutions provide consulting and advisory services to organizations to identify and manage potential security risks and threats to their operations, assets, and personnel.

1. Security Risk Solutions
Tips for Mitigating Printer Security Risks in the Networked Multifunctional
Devices

2. From the moment a print job is completed, it is exposed to a variety of data security risks as the data travels
over the network, and resides on the server of the remote printing device, from where it can be hacked.
Moreover, the printed document can be left on the desk, or discarded. All these data security risks should be
considered while devising printer security risk solutions. Protecting the confidentiality of personal data stored
in the printing devices is vital for General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliant privacy and data
security strategy. Data security breaches not only harm the organization due to the leakage of sensitive
information to unauthorized users but in more serious cases of security breaches, the organization may have to
shut down its IT operations for not implementing robust security risk solutions.

3. In terms of data security, printers are often given a relatively low priority. However, this assumption is not
correct as printers are directly connected to the internet for sending faxes, and hard copies, and as such
present a variety of data security risks. Modern networked and collaborative printing environments create an
ecosystem with a variety of data security risks through viruses that spread over the network. Though a
printer often sits disregarded in the corner of an office, remember that it is a computing device with storage
capabilities and network connections. Multifunction devices (MFDs) have Wi-Fi capabilities to support faxing
capabilities , thus requiring a higher level of security risk solutions so that these can be protected as much
as any other user terminal.
Modern MFDs have wifi capabilities instead of modem connected to phone system. Please rewrite.

4. Printers with a high level of security risk solutions
Given that office printers in Singapore provided by the world’s leading printer manufactures, such as
Fujifilm, are shared and tend to be centrally located, there is a risk that a printer malware engineer could
inject malware into it, or change the hard disk. Wireless printing opens up even more access points for
attackers, like getting the printer connected to a malicious network, and then executing a harmful code.
That’s why, Fujifilm has rolled out printing devices with a high level of security risk solutions, both in terms
of software and hardware, that make it more difficult for the attackers to attack them.

5. Implement a robust data storage and retention policy
Advanced and sophisticated printers by Fujifilm have their own
firmware with built-in features for mitigating data security risks,
which is also updated regularly. Also, take care to change default
credentials for additional data security. Once a secure credential is
set, it should also be changed regularly. Data storage on the
printers is done for convenience, ease of access, and to provide
full control to the user. A good printer security risk solution would
be to ensure that only the necessary data and credentials are
stored on the printer.
