Which of the following is considered the MOST effective practice when securing printers or scanners in an
enterprise environment?
A.
Routine vulnerability scanning of peripherals
B.
Install in a hardened network segment
C.
Turn off the power to the peripherals at night
D.
Enable print sharing only from workstations
In practice, this is a bad answer. We are assuming that we have a vulnerability scanner that knows all of the vulnerabilities of every nuanced printer and scanner out there. Truth is that printers have tons of vulnerabilities and rare get firmware updates.
It is generally recommended that these devices exist on a separate network segment and ensure that if someone hacks into the printer, they cannot launch themselves into the other elements. This is B.
