Your biggest cybersecurity threats may not be hackers—it might be your own team… and the office printer.
In this June 2025 issue, Univision Computers breaks down two overlooked risks that quietly expose businesses every day:
1) Shadow IT: the apps IT doesn’t know about
Employees often use personal Dropbox/Google Drives, unapproved tools like Trello/Asana/Slack, or messaging apps like WhatsApp/Telegram—usually just trying to work faster. The problem? These tools can bypass security controls, miss critical updates, and create serious exposure to data leaks, malware, account hijacking, and compliance violations (HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS). The newsletter also highlights how easily “legit-looking” apps can turn malicious—like the “Vapor” app scandal, where hundreds of apps reached millions of downloads.
2) Printer security: the silent back door into your network
Printers store sensitive documents, often keep default passwords, run outdated firmware, and sit directly on your network—making them a prime target. One experiment cited found 56% of printers could be compromised. The issue includes practical steps to lock printers down, from password changes and firmware updates to encryption, access controls, and monitoring.
