What Is Xerox’s Configuration Watchdog Security System?

Submitted by Byanka Ramos on

Have you ever had a printer mysteriously “act up” after someone changed a setting or discovered a security feature turned off without anyone knowing? Misconfigurations are one of the most common causes of security vulnerabilities in office technology. Something as simple as an incorrect setting can lead to a cybersecurity incident.

Printers are no exception; in fact, they’re some of the most vulnerable devices. It’s easy for settings to get tweaked, features to get disabled, and security gaps to quietly open. Most teams don’t realize anything happened until IT is troubleshooting or a risk assessment reveals an exposure.

This is where Xerox’s Configuration Watchdog becomes a powerful safety net for organizations that rely on secure, well-managed print environments.
