FEATURE: PRINTING SOLUTIONS
OUR LOCAL INVESTIGATIONS OVER
THE PAST FEW YEARS CONTINUED
TO DIVULGE SEVERAL REVEALING
INSIGHTS ABOUT VARIOUS ASPECTS
OF THE SECTOR IN EAST AFRICA.
• Award-winning reliability – designed for
greater reliability and robustness, helping
to minimise the frequency and costs of
repairs and servicing
possible to deliver trusted, resilient security
from the firmware up,” said Shivaun
Albright, HP’s Chief Technologist of Print
Security. “HP is committed to engineering
the most secure printers in the world.”
Expanded versatility and connectivity
• Flexible connectivity options – easily
share the device among the entire
workgroup with built-in wireless on all
models and Ethernet connectivity on
the MFC-T910DW
• Effortless mobile printing – print
directly from an iPhone, iPad, Android or
Windows Mobile device through Brother’s
iPrint&Scan, Airprint, Mopria and Google
Cloud Print
• Print JPEGs directly from USB storage
– with USB Direct Print on the MFC-
T910DW, users can simply walk up to
the device with their USB flash drive for
instant printing or scanning of JPEG files
of customers by delivering outstanding print
volumes, professional quality prints and
expanded capabilities – all in one compact
and affordable package.”
This latest series features three new models
w hich include the DCP-T510W (print, copy,
scan with Wi-Fi), DCP-T710W (print, copy,
scan with Wi-Fi and ADF) and the MFC-
T910DW (duplex print (only), copy, scan and
fax with ADF, Ethernet and Wi-Fi). Some of
the features include:
Cost-savings
• Lower costs-per-page when printing black
and white documents with an improved
page yield of 6,500 pages
• A high colour page yield of 5,000 pages
enabling more colour documents and
photos to be printed at lower costs

Securing print
HP is the first company to invest in a
dedicated bug bounty programme for
printing devices, offering customers
protection from attacks that are targeting
both businesses and employees.
According to Bugcrowd’s recent report,
the top emerging attackers are focused
on endpoint devices and the total print
vulnerabilities across the industry have
increased 21% during the past year.
“CISOs are rarely involved in printing
purchase decisions yet play a critical role
in the overall health and security of their
organisation,” said Justine Bone, CEO,
MedSec and Security Advisory Board
member for HP.
HP Inc has announced the industry’s first
print security bug bounty programme,
underscoring its commitment to deliver the
world’s most secure printers. HP selected
Bugcrowd, a global leader in crowdsourced
offensive security, to manage vulnerability
reporting, further enhancing HP’s business
printer portfolio. “For decades, HP has made cybersecurity
a priority rather than an afterthought by
engineering business printers with powerful
layers of protection. And in doing so, HP is
helping to support the valuable role CISOs
play in organisations of every size.”
With HP’s extensive history of device
security innovation and driving new
industry security standards, this print-
focused bug bounty programme is another
way HP says it is leading the way when
it comes to providing the highest-level
security for its customers and partners.
“As we navigate an increasingly complex
world of cyberthreats, it’s paramount that
industry leaders leverage every resource • Vulnerabilities found by researchers in the
private programme are required to be
reported to Bugcrowd
• Reporting a vulnerability previously
discovered by HP will be assessed and a
reward may be offered to researchers as
a good faith payment
• Bugcrowd will verify bugs and reward
researchers based on the severity of the
flaw and awards up to US$10,000 n
