Government agencies, corporations and non-profits are increasingly transitioning from traditional stand-alone machines to devices that integrate these functions and link them to corporate networks, raising a whole new era of information management and security issues.
Our development of features within the Canon imageRUNNER and imagePRESS product portfolios are designed to help prevent data loss, help protect against unwanted device infiltration and help keep information from being compromised.”
