Over the past 50 years, technological advancements have improved our quality of life greatly. We have experienced advances in everything from biometrics and Fintech, to social media and artificial intelligence.
A recent example of a cyber-breach involved hackers gaining access and printing messages on more than 100,000 machines all over the world, including forcing 50,000 printers to create posters.
Whilst many organisations have implemented policies for protecting confidential data on PCs and servers, the risk of information leaking from print devices is frequently overlooked.
GDPR is in place to prevent the misuse of an individual’s personal information and to protect the individual’s rights by limiting how that information is used.
Printing is an everyday occurrence within organisations, however the volume of printwaste and the impact of this can often be overlooked. It is estimated that over half of the paper used in offices – approximately 10,000 sheets per year – are wasted in the UK.
Secure print is at the forefront of Apogee’s Managed Print Services to support business growth, while ensuring your data remains confidential and GDPR compliant.
We invite everyone to join us, and Safer Internet Day supporters across the globe, to help create a better internet today, Tuesday, 9th February 2021 and throughout the whole year.
