There is a security threat lurking in your business right now and you may not even be aware of it. Your office copiers and multifunction printing devices have the ability to scan and store documents so they can be retrieved down the road without need for the original document. While this is a very convenient feature for most, if left unchecked when the equipment leaves your office, it can quickly become a serious security risk.

When you sell your office copiers or return them to the manufacturer after your lease is up, oftentimes the hard drives in the units will remain untouched. This means that down the road, someone with the correct toolset could decode your data. It is imperative that you take the steps to secure your data before it is too late!
