|

|
<div><p>This topic describes the risks and recommendations for securing
|
||
|
|
printers and printer output.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Once information starts printing, system security cannot control who sees
|
||
|
|
it. To minimize the threat of someone seeing sensitive business information,
|
||
|
|
you should secure printers and printer output. You should also create a policy
|
||
|
|
that deals with printing confidential business information.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="uicontrol">Risks associated with printers and printer output</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">When you plan security for printers, keep the following risks in mind:<ul><li>Printer location. A printer located in a public place might give unauthorized
|
||
|
|
people access to confidential information.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Printer output. Printer output left lying on a desk might reveal information.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Confidential printer output. Employees might be printing out confidential
|
||
|
|
information such as paychecks or product specifications.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p><span class="uicontrol">What to do to keep printers and output secure</span></p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">The following recommendations can help you diminish security risks that
|
||
|
|
are associated with printers and their output:<ul><li>Emphasize to system users the importance of protecting confidential printer
|
||
|
|
output. Include plans for protecting printers and output in your security
|
||
|
|
policy.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Avoid locating printers in public places. Consider placing the printers
|
||
|
|
in a locked room.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Schedule the printing of highly confidential output and have an authorized
|
||
|
|
person stay at the printer while it prints, or require employees to pick up
|
||
|
|
confidential output within a specific time interval.</li>
|
||
|
