HP Inc announced on 11 September embedded security features in its printers, including cloud printing solutions, to stay ahead of the malware attacks. He said the delivery from HP labs would help customers shut down malware attacks by raising the bar on embedded printer security to stay ahead of an increasingly challenging threat landscape.
