Canon U.S.A., Inc. earned a pair of 2021 ASTORS Homeland Security Awards from American Security Today.
Canon received a Platinum Award in the Best Email Security Solution category for mxHERO + Canon multifunction printer (MFP), and Silver Award in Best Information Technology Access Control and Authentication System category for its imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX Series + uniFLOW Online + Print via Cloud.
This marks the fifth consecutive year Canon was ranked in the ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program, with Canon earning at least two awards every year since 2017.
For the second consecutive year, the mxHERO + Canon MFP earned a Platinum Award in this category. As remote work remains a key component of many businesses, employing cloud services that include security features remains an important means to provide additional security levels. mxHERO, a cloud service for intelligent email management, can integrate with the scanning function of a supported Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE MFP to help customers collaborate, govern, manage and share information while implementing security features.
When a document is scanned to email at the compatible MFP, it is first routed to mxHERO’s Secure Scan-to-Email service. Based on the user’s configuration and initial set-up, the service can automatically move the scanned document to a user’s supported cloud storage service.
Finally, an email with a cloud storage link is sent to the original destination of the scanned document to provide customers with a virtually seamless tool to help streamline workflow and include security features during their usual scan-to-email process. Its ability to leverage powerful storage platforms can help create cost-effective solutions and also contains support for compatible imageRUNNER ADVANCE and imageCLASS multifunction printers. Administrators using mxHERO can use it to help keep control of email attachments that are scanned in the office or in a home office environment, addressing today’s hybrid work model.
The imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX series with uniFLOW Online won a Silver Award, recognized for its ability to help customers flexibly employ advanced scanning, security features, and enhanced cloud features.
The Secure Print functionality allows users to send documents to supported imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX Series printers from both desktops and compatible mobile devices. By requiring users to identify themselves at the MFP before printing or scanning, uniFLOW Online can help limit unauthorized use of devices.
