“Many businesses are set up with a printer per desk or team, but owners are unaware that having departmental printers sprinkled throughout an office can be an easy source for a data breach. Unbeknownst to many in an office environment, modern printers now contain a wealth of confidential data, in both electronic and hard copy format, making them vulnerable to attack.
Millions of pages are printed in offices across the country every day, but many of these eventually head straight to the shredder as they are churned out and forgotten about. The risk here is figuring out whose eyes are – and aren’t – allowed to see the documents sitting on the printer, ready for pick up.”
