01732 759725 40 Embedding security at this stage, through automated redaction, rights management and controlled distribution is critical to reducing risk in hybrid environments. Nick Taylor, Head of Sales, Business Print & Scan Division, Epson: Hybrid working means print infrastructure now extends well beyond a single office location. Epson supports this shift by enabling secure, authenticated workflows combined with cloud‑based monitoring and administration. With Epson Print Admin, documents are only released when users authenticate at the device. Epson Remote Services further supports distributed environments by enabling secure remote monitoring of devices across multiple locations, without exposing data across different organisations or resellers. Greig Millar, Chief Revenue Officer, Brother UK: Zero trust has become the default for defending against cyberthreats across the entire print lifecycle. It’s a core concept of our MPS solutions that boosts control and empowers IT teams to instantly tackle vulnerabilities no matter where a device is located. Users receive automatic alerts for firmware and security updates, removing unwanted backdoors into company networks. LeAnne Foley, Head of Indirect Sales, Toshiba: People are printing from all sorts of places now, and security needs to reflect that. By using cloud-managed print platforms and hybrid print architectures, customers can apply the same security controls whether someone is in the office, working from home or printing on the move. Strong authentication and secure release make sure documents only reach the people who are meant to see them. End-to-end encryption and central policy management help keep everything consistent and auditable, fully aligned with zero trust principles, wherever printing takes place. request is verified, regardless of where the user is sitting. Our cloud solutions remove the risks associated with traditional print servers while maintaining strict policy control. For home offices, secure print release ensures that even if a document is sent from a kitchen table, it’s only collected by the right person. The principle is simple: security policies should travel with the user, not stop at the office door. John Green, Managing Director, Commerce Business Systems: Companies have staff at home, on the road, in the office; sometimes all in the same day and security can’t simply stop at the office door. We help customers put consistent controls in place across the board with secure access, proper authentication and making sure their data is protected wherever it’s going. The whole zero trust conversation fits into that quite naturally. It’s really just about knowing who is accessing the device, what they are doing and making sure it’s appropriate. Paul Kamlesh, Technical Director, Copybox Document Systems: Because modern MFPs are effectively networked endpoints, they need to be treated the same way as any other device with the right protections in place from the outset. We help customers make sure the same security standards apply whether someone is printing in the office or accessing systems remotely. That includes secure authentication, controlled access, and making sure devices are configured correctly across the network. Martyn Williams, Sales Enablement Manager EMEA, Xerox: Hybrid working has effectively dissolved the traditional perimeter. Documents are now captured and shared from home networks, mobile devices and cloud platforms, often outside direct IT oversight. This means organisations need to verify users, devices and access at every stage of the workflow, rather than relying on traditional network boundaries. In practice, this means securing workflows end-to-end. From authenticated capture and encrypted transmission, through to controlled access and secure sharing, protection needs to be consistent wherever the document is handled. One of the biggest risks sits immediately after capture, particularly with scanning. Unsecured uploads, email attachments or use of personal cloud storage create exposure points that are often overlooked. releasing sensitive data. And making use of continuous verification means a job won’t release unless identity and session integrity line up. David Lees, Director, ABS: The traditional office perimeter no longer exists, so our approach is built around zero trust principles and secure access from any location. We enable secure print workflows across home offices and mobile devices through cloud-based print queues, encrypted communication channels, and identity-based authentication. This ensures that documents remain secure from the point of creation through to final release, regardless of location. Zero trust is embedded into every layer of our approach and users, devices and print jobs are continuously verified. Our IT service desk supports this distributed environment as part of our managed IT service offering, maintaining visibility across endpoints and ensuring consistent policy enforcement. This ensures that whether a user is in the office, at home, or working remotely, print security remains consistent, controlled and auditable. Daniel Maddox, Managing Director, Evolve Document Solutions: Hybrid working means the print environment no longer ends at the office firewall. We now design around zero trust principles: every print VOX POP …continued continued... David Lees Greig Millar Daniel Maddox
