“Every device on a company’s network are at risk in
the wake of weakening firewalls to the growing sophistication and volume of
cyberattacks. Although many IT departments rigorously apply security measures
to individual computers and the business network, printing and imaging devices
are often overlooked and left exposed,” said Lionel Ch’ng, Managing Director at
HP, Inc. Singapore. “That’s why HP has established a new benchmark in managed
print services, infusing security best practices into everything that we do and
transforming our technologies and software solutions to enable our customers to
stay on top of growing endpoint security challenges.”
