    09/10/2025 | 24 mins.
    Jonathan Armstrong remains on assignment. Today, Tom Fox visits with fellow Texan Jim LaRoe, CEO of Symphion, to discuss data privacy, data protection, and compliance related to printer security in one of the most interesting podcasts Tom has done in some time.

Jim shares his journey from a trial lawyer to founding Symphion in 1999 and explains Symphion’s groundbreaking work in developing comprehensive security software for printers. Jim highlights the importance of a culture of compliance in managing endpoint security and the multifaceted challenges that come with securing printers.  He emphasizes the collaborative effort needed among GRC compliance teams, IT, and supply chain departments to manage printer security effectively, and offers actionable steps for businesses to mitigate these risks.
