Adding Security to Your Copier

Not everyone is aware,  of how your copier can put you at risk of  cyber-attack. Your copier holds data that could be stolen if you do not take the right steps. Luckily, the best brands like Xerox and Ricoh are taking the steps we need to make your copier safer than ever before. Adding security to your copier can be one of the only true ways to protect your copier from an attack.

All copiers have a hard drive inside that stores information about your copier. It keeps an image of everything that’s ever been printed, copied, or scanned on your machine. This can be used for a number of jobs, including document management. Unfortunately, it also means that if someone were to access it that they could see all that information.

You may not even be aware of what is really on your copier. There can be so much more information stored on your hard drive than you may even be aware of. You also have to keep in mind that it’s not just you that could be hurt, but also your colleagues and customers information that could be stolen.
