Melville, NY (May 20, 2019) — Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc., today announced a 16-city security roadshow, beginning June 4, entitled Mission Possible: Securing Your Enterprise. This initiative is designed to educate businesses on information security and data privacy, and provide solutions and services to support these critical areas.
According to IT market intelligence provider International Data Corporation (IDC), 64% of businesses have had a security breach or attempted breach, and the average cost of a data breach in the U.S. in 2018 was $7.91 million. Never has it been more important for organizations to focus on protecting sensitive information.
Canon Solutions America is committed to helping customers mitigate risks. As a leader in enterprise, production, and large format printing solutions, Canon Solutions America places top priority on data privacy and device, document, and cybersecurity. Along with colleagues from Vera, Barracuda Networks, NT-ware, and Therefore, Canon Solutions America will share insights into the convergence of information security and data privacy at events in cities across the country. Attendees will learn how Canon Solutions America’s “Five Pillars of Security” approach can help their organizations address multiple areas of risk: device security, print security, document security, information security
Said Mark Sinanian, senior director,
According to the 2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, out of 41,686 security incidents analyzed, there were 2,013 confirmed data breaches and out of those, 43% involved small business victims. Global research and advisory firm Gartner recommends that to eliminate security risks, infrastructure and operations leaders should implement tools to monitor and alert users and devices and tighten control of printed paper documents by requiring authentication prior to printing. These are just some of the data security measures Canon Solutions America devices and solutions provide.
Canon Solutions America’s security roadshow will demonstrate a layered approach to securing the workplace. The company’s five-pillar security portfolio will be on display to help organizations of all sizes educate workers about today’s persistent social engineering threats, and how to protect personally identifiable information, mitigate the risk of paper-based information, and leverage dynamic data encryption at the file level when information has to travel beyond the local perimeter.
The security roadshow is part of a larger initiative to help educate and support customers in the areas of information security and data privacy. Earlier this year, Canon Solutions America expanded its five-pillar portfolio by linking up with Barracuda Networks to help combat email-delivered threats through its PhishLine social engineering awareness platform, and with EventSentry, a hybrid Security Information Event Management (SIEM) solution that gives security and IT professionals increased visibility into their systems. Both solutions help organizations operate more securely.
During the security roadshow, subject matter experts will provide real-world demonstrations of the “Five Pillars of Security.” Barracuda Networks will also discuss its new Concierge Service offering that enables organizations with privacy at smaller support staff to take advantage
