Symphion: Interview With CEO Jim LaRoe About Printer And IoT Endpoint Cybersecurity
Symphion provides operationalized cybersecurity for printers and connected IoT endpoints through vendor-agnostic technology, managed services, and continuous cyber hygiene processes. The Symphion Program, short for The Symphion Managed Endpoint Cybersecurity Operations Program for Printers & Connected IoT, is our answer to the risk faced by businesses across industries. The Symphion Program When asked what The Symphion Program is, LaRoe explained: The Symphion Program is our Done-For-You program that delivers and continuously maintains cyber hygiene for these forgotten and unaddressed printer and connected IoT endpoint classes. Why The 2026 Threat Environment Is Different When asked why 2026 represents a different cybersecurity environment for these endpoints, LaRoe said: The endpoint problem isn’t new. Maintaining Cyber Hygiene Without Disrupting Operations When asked how Symphion continuously maintains cyber hygiene without disrupting customer operations, LaRoe explained: Avoiding disruption is built into The Symphion Program.
Federal Agencies Lag on Networked Device Cybersecurity Requirements
The IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020 includes provisions for OMB and civilian CFO Act agencies to identify and protect networked devices. OMB established its networked device requirements in December 2023 and updated them in January 2025, setting a September 2024 deadline for agencies to complete their initial inventories. Broader Context The audit's scope covers the 22 civilian CFO Act agencies. GAO compared those agencies' inventory implementation efforts with OMB requirements and interviewed relevant agency officials to obtain their views and verify the information provided. With only seven of the 22 agencies reviewed fully addressing all three OMB requirements, GAO concluded that updated guidance and oversight are needed to ensure agencies implement networked-device cybersecurity requirements.
Nine Sustainability Priorities That Will Shape IoT in 2026 and Beyond
That makes IoT sustainability a lifecycle issue: materials, manufacturing, connectivity, energy use, maintenance, data handling, repairability, and end-of-life recovery all matter. Why this matters now In 2026, IoT lifecycle decisions are being shaped by both standards and regulation. Sustainable IoT Includes the Cloud, the Data Path, and the Edge A common mistake in IoT sustainability is focusing only on device power draw. Remote diagnostics, remote activation, remote configuration, remote profile changes, and over-the-air updates reduce technician travel, repeat visits, failed first installs, and reactive maintenance. Where Secure Connectivity Makes Sustainable IoT Practical Secure connectivity and lifecycle tooling do not make a device sustainable on their own.

The Invisible Threat: Securing the Internet of Medical Things
These devices have now become such an integral aspect of healthcare that they have their own moniker: The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). While the medical possibilities of this tech are great, so are the potential risks of cybersecurity threats or possibly even cyberattacks. Recent market data indicates that the Latin American cybersecurity market was valued at $1.16b in 2024 and is projected to grow to $5.47b by 2033. Current estimates and projections place the overall IoMT market value at over US$7.5 billion in 2024, with a projection of over US$25 billion by 2033. [5] What’s more, concerns over cybersecurity risks in the region are active and spreading, as the survey data and market projections for healthcare cybersecurity seem to indicate.

AI accelerates cyber threats, demanding proactive OT security
Artificial intelligence is increasingly lowering the barrier for cyberattacks against operational technology (OT) environments, making sophisticated techniques more accessible and scalable for threat actors. Foundational to managing OT cyber risk is asset visibility, which remains a challenge due to diverse, multi-vendor equipment spanning decades and often poor documentation. Without knowing what assets exist and how they interact, organizations struggle to assess risk, prioritize investments, or respond effectively to threats. Taldar advocates for a shift from reactive to proactive, risk-based security programs, focusing on business risk rather than solely technology. This involves identifying critical assets, evaluating operational impacts, and aligning cybersecurity investments with operational resilience, safety, and productivity.
'Only 21% of Industrial Firms Have Complete OT Asset Inventories'
Industrial organisations continue to face gaps in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity despite growing confidence in their security programmes. Only 21% maintain a complete inventory of OT assets, according to Honeywell Technologies’ 2026 OT Cybersecurity Benchmark Report. The report, based on a survey of more than 600 industrial cybersecurity leaders globally, found that 88% of respondents considered their OT cybersecurity programmes mature. Among respondents in energy and utilities, 91% reported a significant OT cybersecurity incident in the previous 12 months. AI Adoption Raises Questions Around Oversight AI is becoming an increasingly important part of industrial cybersecurity, but its adoption varies by application.
EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Software: New Cybersecurity Obligations and CE Marking
The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) makes cybersecurity a prerequisite for access to the EU market, not only for hardware products with digital elements, but also for software placed on the market independently. Its core requirements are far-reaching: conformity assessments, European Conformity (CE) marking, and a duty to supply security updates free of charge throughout a defined support period. The CRA applies to what it calls “products with digital elements.” This broad scope of application is intentional: The European Commission describes the CRA as a horizontal framework covering hardware and software products made available on the EU market. Once relevant harmonized European standards are available, manufacturers may use them to benefit from a presumption of conformity with the relevant CRA requirements.

The 2026 MSSP Blueprint: Scaling Zero Trust for IoT and OT Environments
Analyzing the Threat Vector: How Attacks Reach Operational Networks In connected enterprise environments, threat actors frequently target the human layer as their entry point. Once inside operational networks, threat actors often move with deliberate patience. Deploying disparate security products across IT, IoT, and OT environments increases administrative overhead, creates coverage gaps, and delays incident response times. Strategic Summary: Taking the Next Step Toward Resilience Scaling Zero Trust across IoT and OT environments is an ongoing operational posture, not a single event. Explore how Palo Alto Networks Zero Trust OT Security solutions can contribute to your organization’s security transformation and help safeguard critical operations.
