Pharos Releases Cloud 4.4, Strengthening Zero Trust Security and Administrative Control for Enterprise Printing

West Henrietta, NY – February 18, 2026 – Pharos Systems International, a leader in PrintOps, today announced the release of Pharos Cloud 4.4, the latest update to its secure, cloud-native, enterprise-grade print management platform. This release focuses on hardening Zero Trust print environments through enhanced access controls, reduced credential exposure, and expanded API capabilities designed to support automation at enterprise scale.

As organizations continue to modernize IT infrastructure and adopt Zero Trust security strategies, print environments remain a critical but often overlooked source of risk. Pharos Cloud 4.4 addresses this challenge by giving IT teams stronger, identity-driven control over access, credentials, and administration—enabling least-privilege enforcement and reduced exposure across distributed environments without reintroducing the complexity or risk of legacy print servers. Enhancements improve how sensitive information is handled, strengthen administrative controls, and provide greater visibility and governance across complex, hybrid print environments while preserving a seamless experience for end users.

Pharos Cloud 4.4 also expands the platform’s API framework, enabling organizations to automate print operations and integrate print more seamlessly into broader IT workflows. These capabilities allow enterprises to scale securely while minimizing manual effort and avoiding direct access to underlying infrastructure.

“Enterprise IT teams are under increasing pressure to reduce risk while operating at greater scale with fewer resources,” said Josh Orum, CEO of Pharos. “This release strengthens the security foundation of the platform while giving administrators more control and flexibility. By reinforcing access controls and expanding automation capabilities, we’re helping organizations align print with modern Zero Trust and cloud operating models, ensuring they’re ready for what’s next without being held back by legacy approaches.”

Built on a cloud-native architecture, Pharos Cloud continues to reduce reliance on legacy print servers, which are commonly associated with increased attack surface and compliance risk. These updates reinforce Pharos’ leadership in PrintOps, the modern cloud-native, user-centric approach to print infrastructure and operations. By continuing to evolve Pharos Cloud with security-first design and enterprise-grade automation, Pharos enables organizations to modernize print environments, reduce operational overhead, and confidently support hybrid and distributed work at enterprise scale.
