The print infrastructure remains a significant threat vector within corporate networks. With increasingly sophisticated and interconnected printers, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and soon quantum computing, cybersecurity threats continue to evolve rapidly. Quocirca’s Print Security Landscape 2025 report highlights these emerging risks and the growing importance of robust print security strategies. For the fourth consecutive year, MPS Monitor is featured in this influential report, reflecting our commitment to cybersecurity.
Key Insights from Quocirca’s report
Quocirca’s report identifies critical trends reshaping print security strategies. Organisations plan to significantly increase print security budgets, especially within multi-vendor environments, driven by concerns over home printing security, document confidentiality, and print infrastructure vulnerabilities.
Advanced security practices, such as secure cloud print submission, incident response protocols, and zero-trust models, are gaining traction. Yet, authentication methods remain diverse, creating challenges and opportunities for providers to deliver standardised, secure solutions.
Proactive strategies notably reduce print-related data breaches. Organisations implementing comprehensive measures report fewer breaches and lower breach-related costs, averaging around £820,000.
AI and quantum computing represent dual opportunities and threats. While organisations express concerns over AI misuse, they also recognise its value in threat detection. Similarly, there is growing demand for quantum-resistant print technologies. Preparing proactively for these transitions is essential for cybersecurity resilience and customer confidence.
Quocirca’s report also highlights that organizations utilizing Managed Print Services (MPS) report the highest satisfaction with print security offerings, confirming MPS as a highly effective solution.
