When it comes to protecting sensitive client data—especially in industries like legal, medical, engineering, and government—network security is non-negotiable. At USA Imaging, Inc., we’ve made a deliberate choice: our internal computer, server, and even printer communications are fully hard-wired. This decision isn’t just about speed—it’s about safeguarding information at every stage of the scanning and production process.

1. Physical Connection = Fewer Points of Entry

A wired network requires a physical connection to access. This means someone can’t simply park outside, connect to your Wi-Fi, and attempt to breach your network. Unauthorized access would require physical presence and hardware access inside our secure facility, drastically reducing vulnerability.

2. Reduced Risk of Signal Interception

Wi-Fi signals extend beyond office walls, potentially exposing your network to nearby hackers who specialize in intercepting wireless traffic. A hard-wired network eliminates that risk—data stays on the cable and inside our facility.

3. Even Printers Are Hard-Wired for Security

Many businesses unknowingly open a security gap by using Wi-Fi-connected printers. These devices can be exploited as a wireless entry point into the network. At USA Imaging, every printer is hard-wired, closing that door entirely and keeping sensitive documents secure from start to finish.

4. Stable, Interference-Free Performance

Wi-Fi signals can be disrupted by walls, other wireless devices, or even neighboring networks, causing drops or slowdowns. For high-volume scanning and large file transfers, stability is critical. A wired network ensures consistent, interference-free communication between workstations, servers, and production equipment.

5. Stronger Data Encryption Control

While Wi-Fi encryption standards like WPA3 are strong, they still rely on proper configuration and regular updates to remain secure. A wired network doesn’t broadcast data at all, and our security measures focus entirely on endpoint and server protections without worrying about airborne vulnerabilities.

6. Lower Exposure to Common Wi-Fi Attacks

Techniques like “evil twin” access points, packet sniffing, or brute-force password cracking target Wi-Fi networks specifically. With a wired setup, those threats are effectively off the table for our internal operations.

7. Controlled Access Points

Every workstation, production scanner, and printer is connected through physically secured network ports. Access is limited to authorized personnel, further reducing the risk of unauthorized connections.

Our Security Promise

At USA Imaging, Inc., safeguarding client data isn’t just about software firewalls and antivirus protection—it’s built into the very foundation of how we operate. By choosing a hard-wired network for all office, production, and printing communication, we remove entire categories of cyber threats, maintain peak operational performance, and ensure the confidentiality of every project we handle.
