Printers are servers that are open and available to be physically accessed by anyone, according to an article on the Healthcare Analytics News website.
Healthcare facilities aren’t treating printers like servers when it comes to cybersecurity, however.
They’re not including them in cybersecurity plans, information technology (IT) policies and procedures or change control.
Facilities need to proactively manage all the printers like they would servers, desktops and laptops, including continuous IT asset lifecycle management to account for all the printers in the fleet, at all times, cyber-hardening them and keeping them cyber-hardened — all with vendor agnostic automation, the article said.
