According to the IDC MarketScape for WW Print Security Solutions and Services Hardcopy, “Cyberhackers always take the path of least resistance, and attacks targeting print devices are on the rise. A rash of printer-related vulnerabilities was identified in 2023, prompting security expert warnings and remediation actions from both printer vendors and software companies. According to IDC’s research, the number of print-related security breaches is on the rise. Among companies that have suffered a print security breach, over half have experienced productivity loss, while more than a third have experienced damage to the company’s reputation.” Konica Minolta offers a holistic approach to security that integrates protection deep into devices, software and services and is named a ‘Leader’ in this report.
The IDC MarketScape recommends that “Organizations should consider Konica Minolta when seeking a vendor that maintains tight control over the entire design, development, and security operations of its products. The company’s commitment to achieving compliance with global industry standards and certifications should also be considered, as this provides assurance for those organizations with stringent regulatory requirements. In addition, Konica Minolta’s broad portfolio of print-related and nonprint-related services enables organizations to address a wide range of business needs with a single, trusted partner.”
