Canon has announced the launch of its new Subscription Security Services, designed to deliver end-to-end security protection for businesses to safeguard end point devices, documents, and data.

Canon’s Subscription Security Services integrate with the security features in Canon’s existing cloud solutions, such as Cloud Connector and uniFLOW Online.

The services include ‘device hardening’ capabilities, automated firmware updates, data backup, and secure data destruction as standard.

The device hardening capabilities are designed to ensure all print and scan devices on the network are protected under a unified security policy.

Automated firmware updates are designed to ensure devices are always running the latest software, with patches applied to mitigate against potential vulnerabilities, minimising the need for manual updates.

A ‘Premium Security’ tier extends these capabilities with proactive device monitoring and management, real-time threat detection, and more detailed security insights.

The real-time threat detection allows security issues to be flagged as they occur, designed to enable companies to react quickly to threats and implement safeguards. Rapid recovery capabilities also allow for faster restoration of compromised devices, reducing potential downtime.

According to an IBM report, the average cost of a data breach was $4.88m (£3.63m) in 2024. Quoting this figure, Canon says: “It is more critical than ever for a business to take action and protect themselves from vulnerabilities to safeguard their organisation for the future.”

Quentyn Taylor, director of information security at Canon Europe, says: “As security risks evolve and regulation tightens, businesses need a simpler, more effective way to protect their print fleet.

“With Canon’s Subscription Security Services, we’re providing comprehensive security capabilities, removing the complexity of device protection so businesses can feel confident they’re receiving the right expertise and best-in-class security – regardless of their fleet size.”
