Enabling a New Print Services Model for the Hybrid Workforce, Part 3: Security and Zero Trust

This IDC Market Perspective is the third in a three-part series that examines how the emergence of cloud-based print technologies will help foster a new print services paradigm for the hybrid workforce. Specifically, this analysis looks at how the transition to hybrid work is pushing companies toward a zero-trust security model for print."Securing the print environment has become increasingly complex with the advent of a largely unmanaged, distributed workforce," says Robert Palmer, research VP, Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions group at IDC. "A zero-trust framework for print will help to ensure that security policies remain fluid and oriented to specific use cases - but managed, monitored, and controlled by the proper IT stakeholders."
