A quick summary of the data security and compliance requirements with Printix
Technology is offering the modern enterprise new ways of working. Cloud-computing has extended the reach of our offices and our staff allowing us to work more productively. Our enterprise print environment has entered the era of cloud and is part of the extended infrastructure of our business.
Cloudbased print environments are open to the same cybersecurity struggles that the rest of the business faces. The threats that we have to deal with on a daily basis, such as data breaches, Distributed Denial of Service DDoS, and even ransomware are now impacting our print environment too.
The laws and regulations that we use to guide us in how we deal with these security issues and what we have to do to meet customer and government expectations are being strengthened to include the expanding threat matrix that Internet-enabled devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) have introduced. Regulations such as the GDPR and HIPAA have data protection at their heart, and systems that utilize cloud computing technology have to be incorporated into our overall drive to compliance.
This paper looks at the types of threats a cloud-based print infrastructure has to anticipate and what types of steps can be taken to mitigate those threats. It also looks at how cloud-based printing fits in with the expectations of data protection under the GDPR and other compliance measures such as HIPAA.
