The above-mentioned technologies for secure centralized network printing of documents do not provide real control over user access to local printers. From the point of view of corporate information security, this essentially means the presence of an uncontrolled channel for information leakage when printing documents — when the maximum that is possible is to record the fact of printing, but without the ability to find out what exactly was printed, not to mention the ability to block the printing process and thereby prevent data leakage. User activity monitoring systems can also, at best, record that the user sent a certain document to print.
All of the above examples fall into the category of data morocco whatsapp data from leakage and are solved using specialized DLP systems. The only question is how they are solved. For example, there is a known vulnerability in some DLP systems, when a user can print data without control that is not saved as a file on the hard drive (for example, a new Office document with the contents from the clipboard, created without saving to a file).
If the does not have a function for controlling access to printers, not to mention analyzing the contents of printed documents before printing, i.e. content filtering of the flow of printed data, it will be possible to print simply anything, including documents containing secret information, and then all that remains is to hope that the paper copies have not yet ended up “where they shouldn’t” and rely on the users’ fear of being punished.
