HP unveils the first business printers designed for the post-quantum era

The development of quantum computing is posing new challenges for corporate cybersecurity. Although still in its infancy, this technology could eventually compromise the encryption systems that currently protect information, communications and connected devices within organisations.

According to the Capgemini Research Institute's Future Encrypted 2025 report, 65% of businesses consider the threat of quantum computing to be a critical security priority, and one in six organisations believes that the so-called 'Q-Day' could occur within the next five years. This scenario would mark the moment when quantum computers would be capable of breaching the cryptographic algorithms currently in use.

In response to this situation, HP has taken a step forward with the launch in Spain of a new generation of business printers equipped with post-quantum cryptography. These are the first printing devices specifically designed to offer protection against the threats that could arise with the advent of quantum computing.

Security: a strategic factor in business printing

Modern printers form part of organisations' technological infrastructure and constantly handle sensitive information. As a result, secure communications, firmware integrity and the authenticity of software updates have become essential factors in ensuring the security of the workplace.

HP's new solutions incorporate advanced technologies that strengthen the protection of these critical processes, helping businesses prepare for the security challenges of the future.

Beyond traditional printing

HP's strategy is not limited to device protection. The company is committed to a comprehensive transformation of the workplace based on three fundamental pillars: artificial intelligence, process automation and advanced cybersecurity.

The aim is to turn printing into a tool capable of improving productivity, optimising document workflows and strengthening the protection of corporate information. In this context, printing devices are evolving to become key elements within organisations' digital strategies.

Preparing today for tomorrow's challenges

The advent of quantum computing represents one of the greatest technological challenges of the coming decade. Although its benefits will be significant across numerous sectors, it will also force a rethink of current models of protection

With the launch of its new printers featuring post-quantum cryptography, HP is at the forefront of innovation in document security, offering businesses and public sector organisations a solution designed to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex and demanding digital environment.
