Last month, we introduced the concept that a barcode scanner acts as a secondary keyboard to your computer. This presents a unique security threat that many may not know about. Through today’s modern USB connections, barcode readers are as easy to install as a common computer keyboard and this presents a range of threats for exposure to malicious barcodes.

This month, we are very proud to introduce a comprehensive white paper on this subject providing more depth on the risks, responsibilities, costs, and remedies to this barcode security threat. Read our new white paper, “Is A Barcode Security Threat Looming In Your Company’s Future,” for in-depth information on this subject. Give your barcode scanners a test on page three of this paper to see exactly how secure your systems are.

Inside the paper you’ll find information about:

• Consequences of a security breach
• Past cyber incidences recorded
• Where does the sensitive data go
• Your responsibility in the event of a breach
• Particular laws that may apply to your industry
• Preventing cyber attacks from happening
