Why Managed Print Security Services Are the Backbone of Modern IT Infrastructure

Introduction

Printers have quietly become one of the biggest security blind spots in modern offices. As workforces go hybrid and documents move between cloud and desk, unprotected printers can expose sensitive business data. This is where Managed Print Security Services step in to make your print environment as secure as your network.

What Are Managed Print Security Services?

Managed Print Security Services combine device management, data protection, and proactive monitoring to ensure every print, scan, and copy action is secure.
They include:

  • User authentication & access control
  • Data encryption & secure print release
  • Firmware monitoring & threat alerts
  • Compliance management (GDPR, ISO 27001)

Unlike traditional IT security that stops at servers and laptops, MPS security extends protection to multi-function devices across departments.

Why Print Security Matters in 2025

In 2025, connected printers are smarter and therefore more vulnerable. According to industry reports, over 60 % of organizations experienced print-related data breaches last year.

With cloud integrations, mobile printing, and remote access, unsecured printers can act as easy entry points for cyberattacks.
