The challenge of securing print endpoints
Unmanaged or legacy hospital printers present a significant vulnerability in a healthcare network's security posture. IT departments struggle to manage Wi-Fi security certificates, block unauthorised access, and ensure that thousands of distributed endpoints comply with strict internal security and HIPAA compliance policies, which can ultimately risk patient data exposure.
Failing to secure these print endpoints can lead to severe consequences. The high costs associated with data breaches, regulatory fines for non-compliance, and operational bottlenecks from managing devices individually are significant. More importantly, the loss of patient trust following a data breach can cause irreparable damage to a healthcare provider's reputation.
The securing mission-critical healthcare print endpoints solution
Combining the ZD611-HC printer and Printer Profile Manager Enterprise (PPME) provides a unified defence for your network. These components work together to lock down unauthorised access and protect sensitive Protected Health Information. IT departments can centrally manage security protocols, maintaining continuous compliance with strict internal IT security policies across the entire fleet.
Potential benefits
Move past time-consuming manual updates and vulnerable networks to realise tangible, quantifiable security improvements. These tools deliver measurable outcomes that protect patient data and streamline IT operations.
Safer PHI protection
blocks unauthorised network access at the printer level to defend sensitive information
Continuous compliance
keeps 100% of the printer fleet compliant with strict internal IT security policies
Faster automated updates
distribute Wi-Fi security certificates and firmware across 10,000+ devices
Significant time savings
reduces the manual labour required from IT departments
How the solution works
Establishing secure healthcare printing endpoints
Deploying the ZD611-HC printer establishes a secure foundation for hospital environments. This device blocks unauthorised network access right at the printer level, protecting sensitive patient data from potential breaches. The printer is built secure by design, making it the ideal choice for healthcare facilities needing robust endpoint protection.
Centrally manage and enforce security policies
That secure foundation is managed by Printer Profile Manager Enterprise (PPME). This remote management tool includes built-in enterprise-grade endpoint security and certificate management capabilities. It automates the distribution of Wi-Fi security certificates and firmware updates, patching vulnerabilities centrally, and saving countless IT hours across the deployment.
Securing mission-critical healthcare print endpoints
By investing in Zebra’s secure print ecosystem, healthcare organisations gain the confidence that their patient data is protected, their network is secure, and their operations are efficient, delivering significant and lasting value.
