HP has launched three new enterprise class LaserJet printers that deliver increased protection against malicious attacks.

The stronger security is part of a broader HP strategy to provide the deepest security across PCs and printers.

“Protecting against security breaches is one of the biggest challenges our customers face,” said Tuan Tran, vice president and general manager, LaserJet and Enterprise Solutions business, HP.

“HP is helping customers secure their devices, documents and data by defending our enterprise printers with the strongest protection in the industry.”

The new models include:

  • The HP LaserJet Enterprise M506 series for monochrome printing with a 25% smaller footprint and dual-sided print speeds up to 71% faster than its predecessor.
  • The HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M527 series which offers monochrome printing in an MFP that includes single pass, two-sided scanning, an 20.3cm color touch screen control panel to support advanced workflow, and first page out speeds up to 33% faster than its predecessor.
  • The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M577 series delivers outstanding color printing in an MFP that includes single pass, two-sided scanning, an 20.3cm color touch screen control panel and optional keyboard , to support advanced workflow, as well as dual-sided print speeds up to 43% faster than its predecessor.

Printer security is a topic of growing importance. According to the Ponemon Institute, 64 percent of IT managers believe their printers are likely infected with malware.

At the same time, 56 percent of enterprise companies ignore printers in their endpoint security strategy.

To help address this gap, HP is delivering its new HP LaserJet Enterprise printers and multi-function printers (MFPs).
