Canon Europe has developed Printer EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) technology, which will enhance the security of Canon’s office printer portfolio. EDR detects suspicious behaviours as well as printer-specific and general cybersecurity threats, and Canon’s will be available from December 2026 onwards as a firmware update. It is compatible with selected devices in Canon’s imageFORCE, imageRUNNER and imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX ranges (see list below).
Canon’s Printer EDR technology monitors printer behaviour, helping to contain damage by detecting and responding at an early stage to unknown threats, and addresses a wide range of vulnerabilities through detection scenarios.
When a threat is detected, Printer EDR technology supports Canon’s multifunction printers to automatically take appropriate action, for example by blocking suspicious communications or restoring tampered settings. Detection details can be reviewed by users on the device’s control panel, whilst administrators are notified by email or through a log management system.
Quentyn Taylor, Senior Director of Product Information Security at Canon Europe comments:
“As printers become increasingly connected to cloud services and corporate networks, they often process sensitive information and can provide a pathway into wider business systems if left unsecured. With cyberattacks growing in both frequency and sophistication, it’s critical that organisations have a robust approach to security that protects every endpoint. Our new Printer EDR technology reflects our deep understanding of print security and has been developed to help our customers proactively monitor, rapidly detect, respond to, and mitigate potential threats.”
