HP security best practices
Since 2005, HP has published security best practice checklists for networked environments
common to enterprises and small to medium businesses. HP recommends that customers
incorporate recommended security configurations into their environments.

Device-based security management
For environments where few devices are deployed, IT may choose to manage each device
individually via the HP Embedded Web Server management interface, which employs HTTPS for
encryption and has access controls. In addition, HP provides security wizards to assist in proper
security setup.

This single solution allows you to efficiently manage a wide variety of networked and
PC-connected devices, including printers, multifunction products, and scanners. Remotely
install, configure, troubleshoot, safeguard, and manage your devices—ultimately increasing
business productivity by helping you save time, control costs, protect your assets, and provide
a better return on your investment. HP Web Jetadmin enables you to:
• Gain a clear picture of how many and what kinds of devices you have.
• Get visibility into your supplies usage, so you can make smarter purchasing decisions, reduce
spending, and even track and allocate printing costs to individual departments or users.
• Simplify, and in many cases, automate routine tasks. For example, you can apply fleet-wide
policies to automatically configure new devices with the right printing and security settings
when they’re added to your network.
• Give your help desk staff the tools they need—such as automatic alerts—to resolve
problems quickly, and often proactively, before a call is even received.
• Verify that your devices are up-to-date with the latest firmware and are properly configured
(especially important for organizations that need to meet regulatory requirements).
• Use robust tracking and reporting tools to help you make better decisions about how your
devices are deployed across your organization, so you can make the most of your IT
investments.
• Take advantage of additional options, like the HP Database Connectivity Module which works
together with Web Jetadmin to help you establish and achieve environmental goals.
