Defend Yourself Against a Cyber-Attack

What printer's need to know about today's cyber security challenges and how they can best protect their organizations

Every year, the impact of cyber-attacks on businesses of all sizes continues to mount. It's estimated that damage related to cybercrime is projected to hit $6 Trillion annually by 2021. Cyber attackers do not discriminate based on the industry sector, which is why it's imperative that Print Service Providers consider this threat as seriously as they take investing in new printing equipment. Moreover, in an industry dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, the issue could not be more relevant, considering over 60% of breach victims in 2017 were businesses with fewer than 1,000 employees.
We sat down with Kodak's Director of Product Management, Kodak Software Division at Eastman Kodak Company, Stephen Miller to discuss what the biggest cybersecurity challenges are and how printers can best protect their organizations.
