Invest In Zero Trust For Print.

Print servers keep users tethered to the corporate network. Serverless printing removes that dependency, so every job is authenticated, encrypted, and auditable — wherever the user sits.

Zero Trust Network Access replaces perimeter-based trust with continuous verification of every user, device, and access request, regardless of location. Print is usually where that model breaks. Print servers are a localized resource, so users have traditionally needed access to the corporate network every time they send a document to a printer — a hard stop for any organization working to eliminate the corporate network, and one of the reasons print keeps landing on CISO risk registers.

Getting a job from a user outside the trusted network to a printer inside it normally means a VPN connection or an open firewall port, both of which reintroduce the implicit trust ZTNA is designed to eliminate. PrinterLogic solves it at the architecture level. The serverless design removes the on-premises print server as an asset to patch or move laterally through, and Off-Network Printing, Off-Network Cloud Printing, and Web Print move jobs across the firewall with identity authentication on every one.

This brief covers the eight operational and security benefits of Zero Trust printing, how each off-network method works, and where FISMA and M-22-09 requirements intersect with print infrastructure.
