When passwords first came into vogue in the early 1960s as a way to secure computers, we couldn’t envision the many ways they’re being used today.
Identity access and management (IAM), the IT security discipline dedicated to ensuring that the “right persons have access to the right resources at the right time for the right reasons,” has been around since the early 2000s. At that time, organizations and their IT teams were responding organically to the need for managing identity.
There could be a security risk hiding in plain sight in your workplace. Consider this: Those hard-working printers scattered throughout your offices could actually be serving as easy entry points for security breaches.
Printing is a hidden cost that many organizations find hard to quantify. Beyond the price of physical materials such as equipment, paper and toner, there also are costs associated with maintenance, departments “doing their own thing” and even the opportunity cost of time spent waiting at the printer for a job to print.

Mustering is a critical part of any disaster plan and involves accounting for personnel during an emergency. With the rise of RFID-based access control, many companies manage this process through the facility's access control system. In order for this process to be efficient and accurate, the data must be accessible from a mobile device. Sitting at a centralized workstation inside a building that is on fire will not work. During an evacuation, attendance is taken outside at muster points, far away from the building’s doorway and wired readers.
To help deploy a successful secure print solution, regardless of where you are in the adaptation process, we've come up with a list of helpful tips
