HP launches new 8000 Series printers to resist quantum computing attacks
The printers in the series include the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP 8801, Mono MFP 8601, and LaserJet Pro Mono SFP 8501 models.
“Without quantum resilience, a printer facing a quantum attack at the firmware level would be fully exposed through malicious firmware updates, giving the attacker stealthy, persistent and total control of the device,” claimed HP in a blog post.
In order to resist potential quantum computing attacks, the printers have ASIC chips that include quantum-resistant cryptography and have digital signature verification to reduce the chances of data breaches.
The printers can also integrate with other Zero Trust network architectures.
