Canon Unveils Advanced Cybersecurity Suite to Empower Businesses Against Evolving Digital Threats

Canon Singapore has announced the launch of a new, comprehensive cybersecurity suite designed to significantly bolster organizations’ digital resilience. Developed in collaboration with cybersecurity leader ESET, and offered by Canon as part of this strategic partnership, the suite solidifies Canon’s position as a trusted end-to-end technology partner for enterprises navigating today’s complex digital landscape.

In an era where security transcends mere defense to become a critical driver of business continuity and growth, the urgency for robust protection has never been greater. Data from the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) paints a stark picture, revealing a 49% surge in phishing attacks targeting key sectors like manufacturing and banking. Furthermore, nearly 40% of cyber incidents in Singapore impact Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), underscoring the universal need for a secure foundation to foster innovation and confident scaling in the digital age.

Responding to this dynamic threat environment, Canon Singapore is elevating the cybersecurity discourse, extending it beyond IT departments directly to the boardroom. This strategic shift aims to embed digital resilience as a core business priority for organizations of all sizes. By extending its foundational ‘security by design’ philosophy across an enhanced portfolio, Canon Singapore empowers customers with reinforced protection, ensuring seamless business continuity and safeguarding daily operations from disruptive cyber threats.

“For decades, Canon has been a trusted partner in protecting sensitive information where it is most vulnerable—at the document and device level. However, as businesses become more digitally connected, we are seeing a clear shift in the threat landscape, with cyberattacks now targeting every touchpoint of an organization,” stated Too Kok Yong, Head of Domestic Operations Group, Canon Singapore. “Canon is evolving to meet this challenge by bridging the gap between physical and digital security. With the addition of the new cybersecurity suite, we are providing a unified defense that secures the entire business ecosystem—from the printer in the office to the network behind it. This preventive approach ensures that our customers, whether small or large, can keep their business operations simple and secure, allowing them to focus on growth without disruption.”

Security as a Business Enabler

Today’s sophisticated digital threats are no longer just IT problems; they represent fundamental business risks. To assist businesses in adopting a proactive posture of rigorous prevention and rapid detection, Canon Singapore has introduced three specialized solutions:

• Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Solutions: ESET PROTECT MDR delivers real-time threat detection and response, boasting an impressive 6-minute Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) to neutralize threats swiftly.
• Cybersecurity Awareness Training (CAT): The ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training is a comprehensive online program now offered by Canon Singapore. This engaging training utilizes interactive, scenario-based learning and gamification to foster genuine behavioral change among employees. Its built-in phishing simulation capabilities enable organizations to deploy realistic campaigns, continuously testing and strengthening overall cyber resilience.
• Customized Solutions for Enterprises: Powered by ESET Private, Canon offers bespoke digital security solutions meticulously crafted for complex digital ecosystems. Professional cybersecurity experts, collaborating through Canon Singapore and ESET, will work closely with organizations to design and deploy security architectures perfectly aligned with their specific operational needs. This tailored approach is particularly crucial for sectors like manufacturing, where safeguarding the integrity of business-critical infrastructure and specialized production environments demands precision.
