HP Imaging and Printing Security Center 2.0 - Instant-On Security

2
OVERVIEW
What is Instant-On Security?
The HP Imaging and Printing Security Center (HP IPSC) is the industry’s first policy-based
security compliance solution for Hewlett Packard printing and imaging devices. Unique to
HP IPSC, the Instant-On Security feature provides automatic device discovery and security
compliance configuration when an HP supported device is first connected to the network.
Once connected, Instant-On Security maintains security compliance of supported HP devices
when assessed to be in a non-compliant state.
What is Instant-On Secure at Install?
Instant-On Security is a dual component solution consisting of dedicated communication
between a supported device and appropriately configured HP IPSC software. When
enabled at the device, a special device announcement agent locates the HP IPSC server and
requests secure communication. After the agent source is authenticated, the HP IPSC server
responds by adding the device to the database and applying a pre-configured corporate
security policy (referred to as Secure at Install throughout the document). See Figure 1
for a personified representation of initial device to HP IPSC server communication or the
Secure at Install scenario.
