Kevin Pickhardt, Executive Chairman of Pharos, a company that provides cloud-native enterprise print management solutions that help organizations modernize print infrastructure, improve security, and support secure hybrid workplaces joins Enterprise Radio.
Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Kevin Pickhardt discuss the following:
- Most people think printers are “just devices.” What’s the real risk hiding in the printing stack that leaders overlook and why does it matter now?
- If a company is embracing “zero-trust” principles, what does zero trust look like as it relates to printing?
- How should a CISO think about sensitive-data leaks – what actually happens in day-to-day printing (routing, shared devices, reprints, third-party servicing) and what’s the #1 fix that reduces risk fastest?
- What would you have as the first three things on the “Monday morning” checklist to address print security without frustrating employees?
- How does moving to cloud-native print management (like Pharos Cloud) change the equation, security, visibility, deployment, and operations—compared to legacy on premises print architecture?
