?? As businesses undertake technology refresh projects, securing the print environment – both legacy and new devices and software – should be a key project focus. Quocirca’s Print Security Trends for 2025 reveal persistent reliance on print and the key concerns of security professionals as they aim to secure it in the face of rising breach risks and costs. This is translating into: ?? ?? ?? Increased print security spend?? ?? ?? ?? ?Growing expectations for the integration of AI into device security ?? …but confidence in print security is falling. ??

?? The Cost of Making Decisions Without Data ?? What’s the real cost of making decisions without the right insights? Too often, businesses make strategic moves based on assumptions rather than data. The result? 1?? Misdirected investments – Product launches that don’t align with customer needs. 2?? Lost sales – Competitors who act on real market insights get ahead, those who don't... don't. 3??

?? Quantum leap for print cybersecurity as HP moves to protect its print devices from quantum computer attacks. ?? First, it launched #quantum PCs, and now HP has given its printers the quantum treatment, with protections that harden their resistance to quantum-powered cyber attacks. ?? Such attacks could use the technology’s incredible cryptographic cracking capabilities to break security algorithms and compromise hardware. ??? HP’s new 8000 Series printers are designed with quantum resilience derived from new ASIC chips that are quantum resilient and enable digital signature verification to protect firmware integrity and reduce the risk of remote code injection. ?? Learn more about HP’s move to lead the security market in the quantum era. #QuantumComputing #QuantumSecurity #QuantumEra #PrintSecurity #QuantumPrint #Cybersecurity https://lnkd.in/eU7-N84u

I had a fascinating visit to the Zebra Technologies Experience Centre in Bourne End today. A big thank you to Rich Barfield and Chris Julian for the fantastic tour! ??Incredible to see firsthand how deeply Zebra products are embedded in the automation of so many industries such as manufacturing, logistics, retail and healthcare. ??What stood out was the breadth of its portfolio from desktop and industrial thermal printers and barcode scanners to RFID solutions. ?? Fun facts: Zebra is named after the black and white stripes of a barcode and the first ever product sold with a barcode was a pack of Wrigley's gum in 1974! ?? Keep an eye out for the upcoming Quocirca video where we discuss the latest barcode trends, the growing importance of RFID, and the exciting channel opportunities in this space. #ZebraTechnologies #RFID #Barcodes #ThermalPrinting #DataCapture

?? Decisions based on incomplete information are one of the biggest risks businesses face. ?? Some organisations rely on a handful of data points to validate a decision. ?? Others take a more strategic approach, leveraging research and expert advisory services to ensure their investments, competitive positioning, and market strategies are aligned with real-world conditions. ? One approach leads to smarter, more confident decision-making. ? The other increases the risk of misaligned investments, lost opportunities, and slower responses to change. That’s why leading businesses don’t just buy research, they engage with analysts to interpret insights, challenge assumptions, and apply intelligence to their specific strategic challenges. How is your organisation ensuring that research is fully embedded in decision-making?
