Print Security Landscape 2024: Key Insights

The rise of hybrid work and AI has introduced new print security challenges, pushing manufacturers and channel partners to prioritize integrated security solutions. Quocirca's study reveals significant advancements in security among leading printer manufacturers. As remote work blurs security boundaries, unsecured public networks and employee-owned printers have heightened risks, making print security a priority on IT agendas.

Despite progress, print-related data breaches remain a concern, with 67% of organizations reporting data losses in 2024, up from 61% the previous year. Mid-market businesses have been most affected, with breach costs rising to £1 million. Additionally, AI-driven security threats have come into focus, with 83% of respondents acknowledging AI's crucial role in identifying risks. Quocirca emphasizes the need for comprehensive strategies, including fully managed print services and support for mixed fleets, to mitigate these growing security challenges.
