Software protection does not act as a deterrent to a hacker as much as the hardware protection does.

Software will not stop the printer from being physically moved, but the embedded HP Sure Sense hardware will.

It is more difficult to hack hardware, such as a printer, because you must be in front of it, while software can be hacked remotely.

The software is not compatible with ail systems and networks in the same way and opens ports that might be used for attacks.

Printers can be a weak point within the company's network, allowing hackers to use them as an entry point into your corporate network.

Printers are like PCs and need to have their antivirus and network connection daily updated.

Focusing on printer security makes it easier to sell more hardware, software, and accessories.

In 2019, according to CIS, more than 50% attacks on the network went through unprotected printers.
