Overview

March 31

It’s no secret the cybersecurity threat landscape grew dramatically over the past year. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, state and local governments rapidly shifted employees to remote work. And now, many agencies expect to retain remote work permanently in some form. Recent research conducted by the Center for Digital Government shows that almost 75 percent of state and local government respondents expect a hybrid of remote and in-office work to be the norm for their employees going forward. Are your printers the weakest security link in this new highly distributed workplace environment?

Join experts from the Center for Digital Government and HP on March 31 at 11 a.m. PST/2 p.m. EST for a fast-paced, interactive discussion that will explain what the permanent shift to hybrid work means for endpoint security. You’ll learn why securing your organization’s printers is just as important as protecting PCs, laptops and mobile devices connected to your network. And you’ll hear practical advice for closing print security gaps.

This 45-minute webcast will:

-- Help you assess current endpoint security risks and develop a holistic plan to mitigate them

-- Explain how managed print services can close dangerous security vulnerabilities in your printer fleet

-- Show you what to look for in hardware, software and firmware to strengthen print security and performance
