Cyber attacks continually happen and only get more sophisticated, resulting in business downtime, revenue loss, loss of critical data and sometimes global chaos. The need to revisit existing solutions and modernize network security is gaining increasing importance with growing attacks on traditional technologies like VPNs. Technology spend to guard against cyber crimes is up exponentially, but these bolt-on solutions are still failing to prevent attacks and damage to businesses worldwide.
CERM partnered with NetFoundry in 2020 to set a new standard in Cybersecurity attack prevention - Being part of an industry where precision and reliability are paramount, CERM has once again raised the bar by pioneering the adoption of zero trust network security within the label and packaging printing sector. By integrating NetFoundry’s cutting-edge zero trust networking platform, CERM ensures that every element of its digital ecosystem—whether on the customer’s premises, in the cloud, or within the CERMBoxx—operates with unparalleled security.

Invisible, secure, and effortless
Through NetFoundry's secure overlay network technology, CERM delivers a private network for its customers over the internet that is invisible to bad actors. This ensures that hackers are locked out entirely. The platform leverages identity-based access, allowing only authenticated endpoints with unique, un-copyable certificates to connect to authorized services.
For customers, this translates to peace of mind and no open inbound ports or IPs—a critical feature that eliminates exposure to external threats and significantly reduces the attack surface. All data moving between CERMBoxx, cloud applications, and customer servers is securely transported over a mutual TLS tunnel, the data is end-to-end encrypted, securing sensitive workflows against infiltration, internet originated attacks such as DDOS, Intrusion attacks, MITM, spoofing and many more.
CERM’s engineers managing the CERMBoxx and providing support for customers are connected on dedicated “AppNets” providing a dedicated micro-perimeter for each customer, isolated from one another.
Automated Deployment for Instant Security
From day one, new customers using CERM solutions benefit from this zero trust model. No waiting. No lengthy setup processes. Just instant, comprehensive protection that seamlessly integrates into their workflows. The deployment is programmed and automated by API integration between CERM and NetFoundry platforms.
Industry-First Innovation
This collaboration sets CERM apart as the first in the label and packaging printing industry to fully embrace and implement a zero trust architecture. The result? A significant competitive edge for CERM customers who can confidently operate in an increasingly digitized world without compromising security.
Building the Future of Secure Printing
With this new step in cybersecurity, CERM reaffirms its commitment to providing innovative solutions that enhance productivity, scalability, and operational excellence. By embedding state-of-the-art security into its offerings, CERM is not only meeting today’s challenges but preparing its customers for the demands of tomorrow.
