10 IT Vulnerabilities in Manufacturing & Logistics

Manufacturing and logistics companies rely on a wide range of connected systems. From production equipment and warehouse software to tracking tools and remote access platforms, these technologies handle everything from material movement to inventory management and scheduling. The challenge is that when these systems aren't adequately protected, small weaknesses can quickly snowball into major disruptions. Most organizations only discover where their vulnerabilities lie after experiencing a shutdown or security incident. Recognizing the most common risks [...]

Why K-12 School Districts Are Rethinking Print Strategy

Managing printing across a school district is rarely simple. Most districts support multiple buildings, grade levels, and departments, each with different needs. An elementary classroom prints very differently than a high school office or a special education department. Administrative teams, counsellors, nurses, and transportation offices also rely on printed documents every day. Over time, many districts end up with a mix of printers purchased at different times, from different vendors, and for different purposes. Some [...]

How Print Security Can Protect Your Business from Data Breaches

When was the last time you considered your printer a potential security risk? Most businesses focus on the security of their servers, endpoints, and cloud applications, and for good reason. But printers store data, connect to your network, and handle some of your most sensitive documents. They have hard drives, memory, and network access, which means they're computers in their own right. Yet they rarely receive the same level of security as the rest of [...]

Why Cost Recovery and Tracking Should Be a Part of Your Managed Print Strategy

How much is your business really spending on printing each month? For many companies, the number is surprisingly high. Printing is one of those business expenses that can slip under the radar. There are supplies to buy, service calls to cover, and devices that may not be fully used. When no one is tracking it, printing can quietly eat into your budget. A Managed Print Services (MPS) provider can help get those costs under control. [...]

How Backfile Scanning Can Help Your Business Go Paperless

Going paperless is a goal for many businesses. The challenge is that decades of old paper records often stand in the way. Even if your team uses digital tools in their day-to-day, you may still have a backlog of files stored in cabinets, closets, or off-site warehouses. That's where backfile scanning becomes essential. Backfile scanning converts your historical paper documents, also known as your “backfile,” into digital files. Once scanned, these documents can be securely [...]

Navigating 2025 Proposed Changes to the HIPAA Security Rule

In 2024, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) reported that there 720 data breaches across the healthcare sector, affecting roughly 186 million people. While that’s fewer breaches than the year before—the first decline since 2018—it still marks another year where the number of affected patient records climbed significantly. It’s a sign of the times: the threats are growing faster than the tools we use to stop them. Attacks today cause more damage, last longer, and [...]

Why Document Security Should Be a Priority for Your Business

If your business handles sensitive client information, processes payments, or manages confidential internal documents (and most businesses do), document security isn’t just a “nice to have”, it’s a necessity. But while cybersecurity tends to get most of the attention, document security often falls into the background. The truth? It shouldn’t. Your documents, whether digital or printed, are one of the easiest places for a data breach to happen. And if your security measures don’t extend [...]
