Protecting your Copier’s Data

Cyber security is a big issue in the business community. It is becoming harder and harder to be able to fully protect everything. And while many people are doing their best to protect themselves there is often a glaring weakness that many don’t consider.

Your copier can be a potential security threat if you do not take the proper steps. Today’s copiers all have a powerful hard drive inside. This hard drive helps your copier do some its most impressive tasks, but it can also be a source of weakness.

One of the main jobs of your hard drive is to store saved images of everything that passes through your copier. This is to help you manage your documents, but if you don’t secure your copier then someone could access those images.

Most people don’t consider how much information could be gathered from your copier’s hard drive. Many offices go through several thousand prints every month. Imagine is someone was to have access to all of that information.

There are a number of private pieces of data that could be stored on your hard drive.

• Personal Contact Information
• Home Addresses
• Medical histories
• Legal documents
• Business Information
• Social Security Numbers

As we rely more and more on technology it is important to make sure that we are protected. Call Nashville Copier today to get yourself set up with a security kit, and make sure that you’re protected.
