Cybersecurity Risks When Document Sharing

When it comes to document sharing, businesses are exposed to a range of cybersecurity risks. Threats that can compromise a business's data integrity and confidential information include:

There are many factors that can make a business vulnerable to these risks. Inadequate security measures, weak user authentication, and unencrypted transmissions are just a few of the potential pitfalls. So, businesses should understand the risks and take measures to protect their documents and networks.

 

Inadequate security for document sharing can lead to malware infecting company computers.  

 

The Role of Managed Print Services for Document Sharing

Managed print services play a pivotal role in optimizing document workflows and enhancing network security. By outsourcing document management to experts, businesses can concentrate on their core operations while leaving the security of their document sharing to the professionals. Trust the professionals to provide comprehensive security measures such as:

 

Secure Print Authentication

This ensures only authorized individuals can access and print sensitive documents. Methods such as using personal identification numbers (PINs), swipe cards, or even biometric authentication add an extra layer of protection to prevent unauthorized access.

 

Data encryption

By encrypting documents before sharing them, businesses can protect the content from unauthorized access or interception. Quality Digital Office Solutions uses encryption protocols like Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS), ensuring that documents remain confidential throughout the sharing process.
