Advancing security and protecting networks
Embedded with advanced security features that are necessary to combat the growing number of threats
targeting business MFPs, the new HP A3 printers are amongst the world’s most
secure enterprise MFPs in the market2. Considering that modern MFPs now
behave more like PCs, and the fact that less than two percent[iii] of the world’s hundreds of millions of MFPs are properly
secured, improving print security is a top priority for businesses. HP’s
enterprise-class MFPs incorporate a comprehensive suite of security features
that protect devices, data and documents, creating a layered security approach
needed to combat advanced attacks.

With HP Sure Start, whitelisting and run-time intrusion
detection, HP enterprise-class MFPs are embedded with key security features
that automatically trigger a reboot in the event of an attack. When an attack
targets the BIOS, firmware or run-time memory, HP enterprise-class MFPs can
generate alerts in syslog format and notify IT managers via Security
Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools.

“Splunk is the leading data platform for Operational
Intelligence, providing insight into machine data generated from security and
IT data sources, to enable rapid detection of anomalies and threats using
machine-learning based analytics. Printers are a crucial component of an
organization’s IT infrastructure and are often overlooked as being a potential
source of vulnerabilities in a company’s network,” said Yuh Woei Tan, Country
Manager, South Asia, Splunk. “We are very proud to collaborate with Nanyang
Polytechnic and HP to help security managers stay ahead of the rapidly-evolving
attack surface via reporting and interactive investigation powered by Splunk
Enterprise®.”

Dennis Ang, Director, School of Information Technology, Nanyang
Polytechnic, said: “You’re only as secure as your weakest link. We don’t
immediately think about printers when we plan our cyber defence strategy, but
they need to be secured in an era where entire networks can be brought down by
malicious hackers. Nanyang Polytechnic is nurturing the next generation of cyber
security talents through the Diploma in Cyber Security & Forensics and
giving our IT students access to real world projects to hone their skill. The
opportunity to collaborate with Splunk and HP has enabled our students to play
a meaningful role in protecting critical operations from malicious attacks.”

HP has launched a series of global initiatives
to elevate awareness of the security risks facing businesses and consumers. In
February, HP launched The Wolf web series to highlight how
corporate networks can be hacked through overlooked vulnerabilities and poorly
secured printers and PCs.

Cloud-based innovation and reduced costs
HP’s portfolio of A3 MFPs – including three PageWide
platforms and 13 LaserJet platforms – benefit from the new, cloud-based
proprietary service optimization platform, HP Smart Device Services (SDS). SDS
can deliver maximum device uptime by integrating advanced diagnostics, device
specific troubleshooting and remote remediation capabilities into the industry
leading MPS tool sets resellers use today.

The HP PageWide Pro devices make color printing more affordable[iv], while
simultaneously providing best-in-class print speeds[v]. The single and
multifunction devices have print speeds ranging from 35 ppm to 60 ppm (up to 80
ppm in General Office mode). PageWide technology is also more
energy-efficient, consuming up to one-seventh[vi] the energy of
competing color laser machines in the same class while producing significantly
less packaging waste associated with supplies and long life consumables.
