Visual Edge IT Announces Cybersecurity Services for the Printing Industry – Meet Legendary UFC Fighter Andrei Arlovski and Sign Up for Cybersecurity Assessment
North Canton, OH ‒ September 10, 2024 — Many print service providers are vulnerable to a cybersecurity attack and may be a significant third-party risk to their customers. While most printers have invested heavily in their digital infrastructure to compete for jobs and efficiently move them through their operations, many have underinvested in their IT security defenses and often have undetected vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.
Legacy Infrastructure and File Exchange – Ripe for Security Breach
With layers of legacy infrastructure and cloud services built up from years of investments to support e-commerce, file ingestion, print management, data storage, digital collaboration, and other activities of the modern printing facility, printers have many potential paths for malware, ransomware, and viruses to breach their operations.
This infrastructure is exposed every day to files and data being exchanged through email, FTP, web portals, USB drives, and other methods from customers, agencies, freelancers, and the public as well as people entering production and warehouse facilities.
“You often don’t know what you don’t know until it is too late”, commented Brian Ruiz, VP Production Print for Visual Edge IT. “VEIT is on a mission to raise awareness of cybersecurity threats to commercial printing, wide format graphics and technical printing, and the package printing industries.”
Meet Andrei Arlovski and Sign up for a Security Assessment
To encourage printers to take these threats seriously VEIT has partnered with former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei “The Pit Bull” Arlovski. Printers can come by the VEIT booth to meet Andrei, get an autographed photo, and sign up for a cybersecurity assessment.
The VEIT cybersecurity assessment covers the physical environment (offices, warehouse, print facility), digital infrastructure (business systems, production ERP, etc.), and security administration (documentation, third-party risks, SOPs, training). Printers receive a detailed report highlighting priorities and recommended courses of action.
At PRINTING United 2024 VEIT is announcing a combination of an in-depth assessment and end-to-end customized cybersecurity services. Print service providers can visit Visual Edge IT booth C2679 to learn about cybersecurity resources, sign up for a print operations security assessment, and meet former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei “The Pit Bull” Arlovski.
