HP has introduced the 8000 Series printers, designed to protect against future cyber threats posed by quantum computing.

Announced at the Amplify 2025 event, the new models include the HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP 8801, Mono MFP 8601, and LaserJet Pro Mono SFP 8501. These printers are built to resist sophisticated attacks that could exploit vulnerabilities at the firmware level.

To enhance security, HP has integrated quantum-resistant cryptography within the printers' ASIC chips. These chips provide digital signature verification, reducing the risk of unauthorised firmware modifications and potential data breaches.

HP emphasised that, without these safeguards, printers could be fully compromised by malicious firmware updates, allowing attackers to gain persistent control over the devices.

The new printers are also designed to integrate seamlessly with Zero Trust network architectures, reinforcing security within enterprise environments.

By incorporating advanced cryptographic measures, HP aims to future-proof its printing solutions against emerging cybersecurity threats.
