Protecting Your Barcode Printing Environment

Labels matter and so does their security

Barcode label printers play a vital role in modern supply chains, keeping operations accurate and efficient. Yet these connected devices are often overlooked as potential network endpoints leaving valuable data exposed to cybersecurity risks.

How Toshiba secures your barcode printers

Every Toshiba barcode printer is designed with security woven into its architecture, safeguarding information at every stage:

  • Secure protocols: Industry-standard protocols such as SSL/TLS, IPsec, SNMPv3 and WPA3 protect data in transit, preventing interception and unauthorised access.

  • Internet printing protocol (IPP): Ensures encrypted communication, authentication, access control and data integrity for secure network printing.

  • Access control: Role-based permissions and PIN or password protection help restrict device access to authorised users only.

 

  • Application whitelisting: Through Toshiba’s A-BRID platform, only approved applications are permitted to run, blocking non-certified or malicious software before it can cause harm.

  • Secure firmware updates: Regular remote patching keeps your devices resilient against emerging threats and reduces the risk of exploitation.
