Embracing Zero Trust Principles: Is your print network a Security risk?

Posted on April 23, 2024 by Naomi - Business Improvement

Zero Trust Enviroment – a strange name for a very important Business Cybersecurity standard that is becoming essential in every area of business.
Essentially, Zero Trust assumes that no user, device, or service within or outside your business can be trusted.

With uniFlow Online, Canon Australia has a cloud-based print and scan management solution that offers flexible configurations and supports zero trust environments for businesses of all sizes.

The impact of recent global events on small and mid-sized businesses cannot be underestimated. Organisations must now re-consider the way they manage their workforces and work processes. With an increasingly mobile workforce, they must ensure information flows to enable collaboration while maintaining the most stringent standards of security to protect data. All at a time when the costs of business continue to rise.
It is clear that Public cloud-based services give small to mid-sized businesses affordable, flexible and scalable tools to manage constantly changing environments.

Some key points on how a uniFlow Online solution can support your ‘Move to the Cloud’ business IT strategy

Cybersecurity
Zero Trust environments mean that a solution is designed to operate securely even in a network architecture where no user or device is automatically trusted by default.
uniFLOW Online provides an added layer of security for organisations to safeguard printing and scanning processes from potential security threats, unauthorised access, and data breaches. What this means is that to gain access to any resource or app, users must first prove that they need and have authority to use it – every time they want to use it.

Print Management Software
With uniFLOW Online, users can print confidential documents securely, even when they’re printing remotely or directly from popular cloud services such as Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online. All print jobs stay in the user’s personal secure print queue until they identify themselves at a device and release them.

Data Management
The compliance and sustainability of an organisation depends on having a rock-solid data security procedure. The confidentiality of stakeholders, including clients and employees, must also be protected. This means that you cannot take the chance of having your data stored in a country with laws and governance systems that are different from those in Australia.
UniFLOW Online ensures that all data for Australian customers is stored in Australia, in a data centre that complies with local laws, giving your business full control over its data sovereignty.

Secure Printing for Your Mobile Workforce
UniFLOW Online offers fast and secure encryption, enabling your mobile workforce to upload documents for printing, scanning and finishing, only releasing them to print once the user code has been entered on the device. No more unclaimed prints piling up waiting to be thrown out.

Reduced hardware costs
uniFLOW Online’s cloud-based technology eliminates the need for on-premise print servers meaning no expensive infrastucture to set up, manage or monitor.

The award winning Canon uniFlow Online Cloud-based print and scan solutions enable employees to collaborate, share, print and scan efficiently and securely giving your business an affordable, flexible and scalable tool.
