CBS Secure: Protecting the hidden vulnerability in your network
In the last year 43% of businesses and 30% of charities reported experiencing a cybersecurity breach or attack. Though often overlooked, your printer can be used as a gateway for criminals to access the rest of your network and gain access to your data.
Printer security is often prioritized less than more well-known network targets such as email or cloud platforms. However, 67% of companies polled by Quocirca reported at least one print-related data loss incident in 2024.
Why does your printer need Cybersecurity?
Compromised endpoints cause more than half of data breaches. Just like any other device connected to a network, your printer is one of these endpoints and is vulnerable to cyber-attacks and malware. Printers also have to store sensitive information on their drives to operate, such as when you print out a contract or other confidential document. When organisations leave their copier vulnerable, hackers can access the device and gain access to these documents or use the printer to spread malware to the rest of the network.
CBS Secure provides an added layer of protection by detecting and blocking malicious software that could be installed or passed through on a copier via infected files or internet connections. By scanning all data and files processed by the device, we can protect organisations from malicious activity before it impacts their business.
How does printer security work?
Once activated, it uses machine learning algorithms and advanced technologies to detect malware. In addition to regular scans of your printer network, it also conducts scans in real-time whenever data is sent or received, such as during a print job from the cloud, updating an application or running a firmware update. Users can also run a virus scan on demand from the control panel.
We take a layered approach to malware detection, using many different technologies to provide proactive printer security protection for unknown threats before they can infiltrate the user’s system.
As cyber threats evolve, our security software will automatically update to keep your copier protected against the latest threats. This ensures that your copier is always up to date and secured without interrupting their day-to-day operations.
