White Paper: Canon imageRUNNER/imagePRESS Security
Section 1 — Introduction
“If you look at these machines as just copiers or printers, you first wonder if you really need security.
Then you realize conventional office equipment now incorporates significant technology advances and
capabilities that make all documents an integrated part of a corporate network that also involves the
Intranet and Internet. 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.”
—Dennis Amorosano, Sr. Director
Software Product Marketing, Solutions Business Development Division, Canon U.S.A., Inc.
As the marketplace has evolved, the technology associated with office equipment continues to
develop at an ever increasing pace. Over the last several years alone, traditional office equipment has
leapfrogged in technology, expanding its functional capabilities, while at the same time becoming an
integral part of the corporate network and the Internet. As a result, a new level of security awareness
has become imperative.
Canon’s attention to emerging market trends and details surrounding customer security requirements
has driven the development of features within the imageRUNNER/imagePRESS product portfolio
designed to thwart data loss and the potential threats posed by hackers.
