Monitor and manage your print environment
HP offers solutions to remotely manage device security, including:
• Fleet-level protection—Use optional HP Imaging and Printing Security Center (HP IPSC), the
industry’s first policy-based solution that helps you increase security, strengthen compliance,
and reduce risk across your imaging and printing fleet.
26
− Streamline the process to securely deploy and monitor devices by applying a single security
policy across the fleet.
− Easily achieve baseline security with the HP Best Practices Base Policy—no security expertise
required.
− Secure new HP devices as soon as they are added to your network with HP Instant-on Security.
− Actively maintain and verify compliance with your defined security policies by using HP IPSC
automated monitoring and risk-based reporting.

• 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.
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.

Enable solution extensibility and investment protection
Successful enterprises are often wary of technologies that promise to revolutionize their
business—and rightly so. These technologies typically come with a steep price tag for new products
and services, and render their existing investments useless. Intelligent technologies not only offer
new capabilities for new products, but also capitalize on a business’s existing infrastructure. That’s
where HP’s Open Extensibility Platform (OXP) and HP FutureSmart step in.
HP’s OXP can significantly reduce costs by creating a unified environment—so your software
solutions, imaging and printing devices, and management tools can work together in a whole new
way. HP FutureSmart is a new firmware architecture that includes OXP. It enables a number of the
innovative features and capabilities available with the HP LaserJet Enterprise MFP M725z.
HP’s OXP—solutions and devices working together in a whole new way
Prior to 2008, imaging and printing solutions were device-specific. Each printer, MFP, digital sender,
or scanner model required its own version of a solution—and this was common across all
manufacturers. In 2008, web services technology allowed imaging and printing devices to begin
supporting device-independent solutions. Now, across the industry, one solution can support all
your devices released after 2008. Instead of having to download and install unique versions of a
solution for individual devices, you can download one version to all devices, and the solution will
automatically configure itself for each device.
HP’s OXP takes this a step further than the competition with device-independent technology on
supported devices introduced in 2005 or later. This means you don’t have to buy new devices to
support the latest solutions.
27
You can deploy one version of a solution across your fleet and create
an environment that is simpler for IT to manage. End users also benefit with a consistent user
interface, no matter what device they’re using, which limits training costs and boosts productivity.
