Case Study: HP achieves stronger enterprise printer security with Red Balloon Security

Red balloon security provides a host-based defense technology that is foundational to the world’s most secure enterprise printers

HP needed to strengthen the security of its enterprise LaserJet and multi-function printers, as printers were increasingly being left out of endpoint security strategies. To address this firmware-level challenge, HP worked with Red Balloon Security to add host-based protection to selected printer models.

Red Balloon Security implemented its Symbiote technology, providing continuous runtime intrusion detection, in-device memory monitoring, and firmware-level anomaly detection, alongside HP Sure Start and firmware whitelisting. The result was stronger protection for more than 4 million devices and more than 80 billion hours of continuous runtime without a single security failure, all without disrupting normal endpoint operation.
