Document Security

The concept of document security -- ensuring that the right person gets their printed document -- sounds simple on the face of it, but hasn't caught on completely yet, according to Keith Fenton, software and solutions marketing manager for Oki Data Americas. "A damaging breach could even be as simple as a confidential document that was never retrieved and fell into the wrong hands," Fenton said. "This situation becomes more likely as companies work to consolidate their printing fleets." The most efficient solution, Fenton said, is to implement devices with document control. Options include having employees swipe their ID badge, or enter a username and password, in order to retrieve sensitive documents from a printer.
