How your Printer can be Extra-Safe in 2019

Network printers are an appealing target for hackers as they may store sensitive documentation, and in some cases, the same data security measures used to keep networks safe are not applied to them. Xerox is leading the way in keeping your printer safe from Cyberthreats.

Data Security Software Enhancements

Xerox has introduced free software for its Altalink multifunction printers and Altalink Workplace Assistants. This update will allow business to monitor security settings of networked printers, and force an automatic reset if unauthorized changes are made. The new software also improves the user interface and allows flexibility in customization.

The Configuration Watchdog

As they say in sports, “The best defense is a good offense!” This is very true of cybersecurity. IT professionals must be proactive to stop data security breaches from occurring. The configuration watchdog feature of Xerox’s new software for Altalink systems is the tool that locks down system security preferences. The network administrator will use it to configure the security settings to automatically reset if unauthorized changes are made, without the need for external monitoring. In addition, it will allow admins to monitor up to eight security settings’ requirements for compliance.

These new features combined with faster output speeds, improved streaming and compression of data, and end-to-end encryption put Xerox on the forefront in the battle against cyber- attacks.
