- HP has announced the world’s first business printers with quantum resistant security to prevent future quantum computer attacks.
- The new 8000 series printers include quantum resistant secretariat to protect the integrity of the firmware and align with the zero trust security framework.
- The US government plans to sign a quantum resistant cryptographic code for the national security system by 2030, which will strengthen the need to upgrade the IT infrastructure.
The HP Inc. has introduced it, called the world’s first business printers designed to defend quantum computer attacks, which aims to increase quantum risks to protect the digital trust. The HP said in a blog post, the new 8000 series printers have added quantum resistant secret care to prevent malicious firmware’s updates that can provide full control over the assailants to a device.
New models-HP Color Laserjet Enterprise MFP 8801, Mono MFP 8601, and Laser Jet Pro Mono SFP 8501-Quantum Flexibility Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) These chips protect the integrity of the early stage BIOS and boot firmware, according to the World Senior Print Security Strategist and Product Management Lead Steve Inch Blog Post in HP Inch.
HP said printers are designed to align with zero trust security framework, which allows businesses to integrate with broader cyberscript strategies without interruption. “It helps organizations unite for their security strategies, fleet wider vision and prevent current and future dangers.” Inch wrote in a blog post.
This announcement has emerged among the growing concerns that quantum computers can break widely used encryption methods within the next decade. Experts estimates up to 34 % that will be compromised by 2034 unplanned secret care, HP said in a blog post. The US government has pledged to sign only quantum resistant cryptographic code for the national security system by 2030, which now reinforces the need for businesses to upgrade IT infrastructure.
HP is increasing quantum resistant security in its portfolio. Last year, the company introduced business PCs with firmware reservations against quantum risks.
For businesses working under long -term print service contracts, HP stressed that it was time to work. Inch writes that organizations will need to include quantum resistant secret care to meet the US government’s 2030 migration timeline, maximize the device’s safety and protect the integrity of their print devices.
More details about HP’s quantum security measures are available in its latest blog post.
