HP Introduces Hybrid Work Print Solutions with HP Wolf Security
May 12 2021 - 7:00AM
Today HP Inc. announced enhanced print services and solutions with
HP Wolf Security that allow IT departments to help boost workforce
productivity while also helping to protect corporate networks and
data1. As part of these enhancements, HP introduced a new
Flexworker offering, Internet Printing through HP Advance2 and HP
Secure Print3 compatibility for Universal Print from Microsoft.
“The existing business transformation trends around cloud,
as-a-service, and security have seen significant acceleration over
the past year,” said George Brasher, General Manager and Global
Head, Print Services and Solutions, HP Inc. “In this hybrid world,
where workers are distributed and the risk of cyberattacks has
skyrocketed, we see businesses needing scalable and flexible
printing solutions that are both secure and manageable.”
New Flexworker Offering; Part of HP
Wolf Enterprise Security Services
HP’s new Flexworker offering, which is part of HP Wolf
Enterprise Security Services, is a scalable cloud-based print
service for hybrid workforces. This new extended Managed Print
Service (MPS) allows IT departments to arm hybrid workers with
secure, company-approved printers to enhance productivity at home.
By leveraging the HP Instant Ink and MPS ecosystems, HP is
delivering a fully automated enterprise managed print experience
that includes financing, technical support, reporting, centralized
billing and device security features and monitoring.
According to HP Wolf Security Blurred Lines & Blindspots
report 4, 45% of IT decision makers say they have seen evidence in
their company of compromised printers being used as an attack point
in the past year. The same report contains data from
KuppingerCole, showing 86% of industry executives said their
customers had concerns around the security of their home
printers.
Flexworker gives enterprises visibility of up to 15 essential
security settings5 on devices and leverages Security Manager to
continuously monitor and automatically remediate if a device falls
out of compliance with corporate policies.
As companies extend corporate offices into the home environment,
HP is also expanding Flexworker to include select LaserJet
Enterprise 400 series models – the HP LaserJet Managed MFP E42540f
and HP LaserJet Managed E40040dn. The LaserJet Enterprise 400 is
HP’s smallest enterprise-class printer series providing seamless
remote management and the world’s most secure6 printing
experience. The LaserJet Enterprise 400 series offers HP Wolf
Security, which includes HP Trusted Platform module, HP Sure Start,
Run-time intrusion detection7, HP Connection Inspector, and easy,
policy-based fleet deployment with HP Security Manager.
Secure Printing at Home or In the Office
HP is introducing secure Internet Printing through HP Advance,
an integrated platform for capture, print and output management.
Internet Printing will enable organizations to offer employees the
ability to seamlessly and securely print from either the office or
at home. HP’s new Internet Printing offering features the latest
encryption and authentication technologies, including OAuth 2.0
with OpenID connect for Azure AD. The solution also provides job
accounting, ensuring companies can track activity both inside and
outside the organization.
HP also announced HP Secure Print compatibility with Universal
Print from Microsoft, which adds a layer of security by requiring
authentication before the document is printed. It will also provide
analytics about all print activity.
