Jim reveals a startling set of \"winning lottery numbers\": printers account for 20% of network endpoints, yet 99% remain unprotected. With 67% of organizations reporting a printer-related security incident last year, these devices serve as a critical yet vulnerable vector for lateral movement and credential harvesting.Jim explains this widespread neglect through his \"Five O's,\" citing the lack of a formal Owner and their Origin as business equipment rather than IT endpoints. Because printers process highly sensitive data and frequently lack unified management platforms, they offer a 360-degree risk landscape for cybercriminals. The conversation emphasizes that \"locking the front door\" by declaring a dedicated security owner and integrating print fleets into a unified security strategy is essential. Symphion provides a turnkey solution to bridge this visibility gap, ensuring these \"graveyard endpoints\" are hardened, monitored, and securely managed.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/aXLBZ6NEC67VCvUdGdj34FVcP6UogkeOOCd6fCHwEXY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM3NTY1LzE2ODAy/ODQ1NTgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
