BankInfoSecurity.com | Check out this recent article from BankInfoSecurity.com featuring thoughts from Tony Moor, IOActive Senior Director of Silicon Lab Services. Tony shared his strategy to keep his printer secure from malicious cyber attacks.
“Personally speaking, I would always prefer to have my own printer connected to my desktop PC or laptop by USB than have it connected directly to my home WiFi network,” said Tony Moor, a researcher at hardware security firm IOActive. “Keeping a printer isolated from the home or office network reduces the attack surface. Admittedly this is not practical in a workplace where numerous members of a team all need to connect to the same printing device.”
