As an AEC professional, you've witnessed how digital innovation propels the industry forward. Yet, one critical piece of the technology puzzle often goes unnoticed—your plotter.  

 

With cyber threats increasingly targeting every node of business networks, it's time to ask: does your plotter safeguard your workflows or jeopardize them? 

 

This article examines the intersection of efficient large-format document management and cybersecurity, highlighting how the new HP DesignJet plotters, fortified with HP Wolf Security, are not just tools but shields for your sensitive data and projects. 

 

 

The Critical Role of Plotters in AEC Projects 

In the AEC world, where every detail matters, outdated plotters can be the bottleneck that undermines both efficiency and security. While you focus on building the future, let's ensure your foundational tools don't become a weak link in protecting your creative blueprints from prying cyber eyes.

 

Unseen Risks in the Shadows of Outdated Technology: 

• Printing Speed and Reliability: Legacy plotters may slow down your project timelines due to their lack of speed and higher maintenance needs, impacting client satisfaction.

• Network Vulnerabilities: With cybercrime escalating to a multi-trillion-dollar global issue, outdated plotters can be the unintended backdoor for cyber-attacks due to inadequate security protocols.

• Eco-footprint: The energy inefficiency of old plotters can conflict with the AEC industry's push towards sustainable practices, increasing operational costs and environmental impact.

 

 Embracing Efficiency and Security 

TAVCO, as a trusted dealer partner of HP, proudly presents HP's DesignJet large-format printers, backed by the robustness of HP Wolf Security. In the digitally dependent business world, printer systems are often the neglected gateway to cyber threats.

 

Statistics suggest that only 22% of companies actively safeguard their printers against these threats, leaving a massive space for potential breaches like identity theft, loss of competitive advantage, heavy fines, and reputation damage.

 
HP's DesignJet printers tackle this overlooked aspect with a compelling security layout, making them the safest large-format printing products on the market. They thoughtfully secure your devices, data, and documents by identifying and covering multiple potential vulnerability points in a printing environment.

 
Features like HP Secure Boot and Whitelisting ensure authentic firmware for every startup, and a unique admin password system aids in maintaining an added layer of ever-present security. Continual monitoring is made possible by the HP Security Manager, and data is encrypted while at rest and during transit.

 
Users can implement encrypted PIN protection with confidential print jobs, ensuring document confidentiality. And to stay updated, the user-friendly HP JetAdvantage Security Manager simplifies firmware upgrades.

 
AEC companies that partner with TAVCO to deploy these HP DesignJet solutions equip themselves with state-of-the-art, proactive defense against cyber threats, avoiding potentially expensive breaches and non-compliance penalties. Indeed, HP DesignJet printers secure not just your data but also your peace of mind.
