Introduction: A New Frontier in Cybersecurity
As we move into 2025, the complexity of cyber threats continues to grow. While businesses are vigilant about protecting their networks and endpoints, one area often overlooked is the print environment. Multifunction printers (MFPs) and copiers are no longer just hardware—they are connected devices that, if left unsecured, can become gateways for cyberattacks.
At Pahoda, we believe that protecting your print environment is as essential as securing your servers. Our solutions ensure that your devices operate securely, enabling your business to thrive without unnecessary risks.
The Risks of an Unsecured Print Fleet
Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting print environments due to their often-overlooked vulnerabilities. Some of the risks include:
- Botnet Exploitation: Devices can be compromised and used in malicious botnet activities.
- Data Breaches: Sensitive documents stored or transmitted through printers are at risk of being accessed by unauthorized users.
- Outdated Firmware: Many printers run on software that, if not updated, can be exploited for remote code execution or malware deployment.
- Regulatory Penalties: An unsecured print environment can lead to non-compliance with data protection regulations, resulting in fines and reputational damage.
