Security of printing systems

The security of printing systems depends strongly on their configuration. Therefore, when purchasing printers, attention should already be paid to existing security functions and these should be selected or configured according to the required security level. Not every printer is suitable for every security need. This guideline describes typical security risks encountered in practice and outlines measures to proactively counter these threats. After all, the security of printing systems and multifunctional devices is often neglected in companies. Yet a high security standard is mandatory in the context of its economic use. This is because printers are entrusted with confidential information, which often includes personal data whose confidentiality must be maintained.
