Symphion, Inc. Launches Print Fleet Security Certificate Deployment and Management Service™

In a groundbreaking move that addresses a significant gap in enterprise and healthcare networks, Symphion, Inc., a leader in print fleet cybersecurity, has unveiled its new Print Fleet Security Certificate Deployment and Management Service™. This innovative service aims to integrate print devices into contemporary security frameworks seamlessly and efficiently, without placing additional operational burdens on organizations.

Traditionally, as organizations adopt identity-based networking and Zero Trust architectures, printers—often critical components of business operations—have been overlooked in cybersecurity strategies. Despite comprising 20-30% of all network endpoints, printers face considerable vulnerabilities due to rapid advancements in security protocols like TLS (Transport Layer Security). Regulators now mandate that every network endpoint must authenticate using security certificates and encrypt traffic. Existing systems often leave printers susceptible to threats due to insufficient integration into security protocols.

According to Jim LaRoe, CEO of Symphion, the company designed the Print Fleet Security Service to meet the pressing needs of CIOs and CISOs. As LaRoe explains, “We designed our turnkey service to universally address the needs of CIOs and CISOs to affordably and effortlessly extend identity-based networking and modern encryption and management to all their printers.” This means organizations can now manage the complexities of printer security—featuring different makes, models, and firmware versions—without compromising operational integrity.

The service is structured to automate the entire certificate lifecycle for printers. It includes discovery and classification of printer endpoints, evaluations of their certificate posture, coordination of certificate issuance with the customer’s PKI (Public Key Infrastructure), and ongoing management through deployment, validation, and renewals of certificates. This comprehensive management ensures that all printers remain secure without requiring additional effort from the organization’s IT resources.

For many businesses, especially those in healthcare, printers are vital in delivering critical services. However, without a solution like Symphion’s, these devices are often neglected in cybersecurity protocols, significantly raising the risk of security breaches. By offering a service that automates this process for a range of printers, Symphion eliminates the need for organizations to either cobble together brand-specific tools or accept the high risks associated with unprotected printer endpoints.

As more companies recognize the importance of securing every aspect of their network, Symphion’s new service presents a critical tool in mitigating risks associated with printer endpoints. With an effective security framework in place, organizations can rest assured that their networks are more secure, operational downtime is reduced, and compliance with regulations is maintained.

In addition to its new Print Fleet Security Service, Symphion continues to offer its flagship Print Fleet Cyber Security as a Service™, showcasing its commitment to protecting businesses from cyber threats in today’s digital landscape.
