TOP 5 SECURITY VULNERABILITIES
OF CORPORATE PRINT FLEETS
C
ybersecurity risk is everywhere in your organization. But did
you know that some of your biggest vulnerabilities are hiding
in plain sight? The fact is, if you are like the large corporations
HP has assessed, your organization isn’t covering common
cyber-hygiene practices with your MFP and copier fleet.
1. NO POLICIES IN PLACE
Without defined printer-security policies, most
organizations are leaving it to chance that their
print fleet is protected to at least minimum
standards. Only 51 percent of businesses
assessed by HP had a formal print-security
policy. Fifty-five percent did not have an
accurate inventory (CMBD) that included all
print devices.
2. LAX ON FIRMWARE
Most businesses would never miss a security
patch on their PC fleet; however, the reality is
companies are allowing their printer fleets to
fall behind. Over 55 percent of the 1.2 million
printers tested by HP were behind in security
patches.
I
love the word synergy because, to me, it represents
a true win-win situation between all parties involved.
That is our No. 1 goal in our company’s “Sales Oath
of Honor.” The greatest form of flattery we receive
are business referrals from our friends and satisfied
customers. We are grateful for the opportunities and
relationships that we are entrusted with and want to
reward you for sharing your business connections. That is
why we created our SYNERGY 550 Club.
If you refer a qualified prospect to us that results in a
proposal, we will provide you a $50 gift certificate. If your
referral becomes a client, you or your favorite charity will
receive a minimum of $500.
For instance, a great referral would be a company in the
NY Metro Area with five to 50 computers that needs help
with their phones, network, data backups, e-mail server,
or is just interested in having a second opinion about an
IT topic. Another great referral would be a company with
15–500 printers/copiers that needs help with managing
them efficiently and cost effectively.

3. NO ANTI-MALWARE
Most companies impose strict anti-malware
software on all PCs; however, equally
vulnerable printers are still allowed to operate
without these protections. Sixty-nine percent
of businesses don’t have anti-malware running
on their printers.
4. WRONG CONFIGURATIONS
Many businesses retain default security
settings on their printers, leaving dozens of
open ports and protocols for potential misuse
and access to the network.
Sixty percent of companies fail to apply
their own user password policies on their
printers. More than half of today’s companies
use generic admin accounts to manage their
printers. Eighty-sixe percent of businesses do
not encrypt sensitive print-data in motion.
5. NO LOG MANAGEMENT OR
THREAT MONITORING
Most companies wouldn’t know if one of their
printers was compromised. Eighty-five percent
of companies don’t enable print logs to track
login attempts and user access.
