While awareness of printer security risks and understanding how they can be vulnerable is important, it’s critical government agencies take action to protect their printing environment.
To learn about the steps other agencies are taking to better secure their printer fleet and what changes they foresee in the future that could impact their print environment, read the newly released report "Is Your Print Environment Prepared for a Cyber Attack."
