PrintGuardian

Print security with teeth.

Make PrintGuardian your print estate's watchdog, catching threats, detecting intruders and securing the weakest link in your cyber defence.

Your print estate is your vulnerability

68%
of organisations have experienced data losses due to unsecure printing practices(1)
62%
of IT decision makers acknowledge their infrastructure is vulnerable to cyber attacks(1)
30%
have suffered data breaches due to insecure print devices in the past year(1)

Stop leaving the gates open

  • Printers and MFPs aren’t just office equipment, they’re unmanaged PCs with operating systems, inside the fence.
  • They often run outdated firmware on open ports
    and communicate freely across networks. Yet they’re often treated like office décor rather than network endpoints.

That's where we come in

• A fully managed printer security platform deployed within your network.
• Risk findings, alerts, and enriched telemetry are securely forwarded into established SIEM, SOC, and SOAR environments for centralised
response.
• 24/7 monitoring and support delivered from our UK-based SOC in Reading. We utilise AI hyperautomation managed by our on-site security experts.

How it works...

PrintGuardian is placed onto a VM or black-box within your network.

PrintGuardian continuously scans the devise for known software vulnerabilities, identifies anomalies, and detects suspicious activity.

PrintGuardian collects logs from Kyocera printers and MFPs across the organisation  and pushes the data into our managed SOC.

Risk findings, alerts, and enriched telemetry are securely forwarded into Kyocera’s AI hyperautomated SOC for centralised response.

Why it matters.

Hackers look for gaps, PrintGuardian closes them.
In 2023, attackers actively exploited critical vulnerabilities in print management servers used by enterprises, healthcare providers, schools, and government organisations worldwide. The flaw allowed remote code execution without authentication and was linked to ransomware activity.(2)

How attackers exploit

• Intercept sensitive print jobs containing financial records, contracts, HR files, or customer data.
• Capture stored credentials used for scan-to-email or directory integrations.
• Move laterally across the network to access additional systems and servers.

• Install persistent malware or backdoors that remain undetected for long periods.
• Use the printer as a trusted internal device to bypass traditional endpoint controls.
