In today’s digital landscape, cybersecurity is more critical than ever, and printing environments are no exception. Organizations rely on secure printing solutions to protect sensitive documents and confidential data, yet many traditional print infrastructures still pose serious security risks.

Recognizing this challenge, Y Soft has taken a significant step forward with the release of Build 2025.01.23, introducing the integration between SAFEQ products and Microsoft’s Windows Protected Print (WPP) mode. This powerful enhancement sets a new benchmark for secure-by-default printing, reducing exposure to threats and reinforcing data protection across all print workflows.

Why Print Security Matters More Than Ever

Printing is often an overlooked area in IT security, yet it remains a frequent target for cyber threats. Organizations that fail to secure their print environments risk data breaches, unauthorized access, and compliance violations.

Recent security advisories have drawn attention to critical vulnerabilities in widely used print drivers. One notable example is the HP Universal Print Driver Series, where severe security flaws have been identified, posing potential risks to organizations that rely on these drivers. Such vulnerabilities highlight the urgent need for more secure printing alternatives that are proactively safeguarded against cyber threats.

How SAFEQ and Windows Protected Print Enhance Security

With the integration of SAFEQ and Windows Protected Print (WPP), Y Soft is setting a new standard for secure printing by offering:

🔹 End-to-end encryption – Ensuring that print jobs remain protected throughout the entire workflow.
🔹 Zero-trust security model – Only authorized users can release print jobs, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
🔹 Seamless compliance – Helping organizations meet GDPR, ISO 27001, and other security regulations.
🔹 Cloud-ready protection – SAFEQ Cloud offers advanced security layers to safeguard sensitive data in hybrid and remote work environments.

These security-first features are essential for businesses that want to stay ahead of potential threats and ensure their printing infrastructure remains resilient against cyberattacks.
