Canon increases focus on information security with PSIRT site launch

Canon is now developing its process of working closely with the wider security industry to identify and address any vulnerabilities, including building out its security team.

Canon’s PSIRT site acts as a central hub where product/service vulnerabilities can be submitted by third parties, to then be reviewed by the Canon PSIRT team. To ensure the highest level of product security, the team will follow industry best practices to continuously improve product security levels, particularly for those using its B2B products and services.

Quentyn Taylor, Senior Director of Information Security at Canon EMEA, who is a member of Canon PSIRT said, “the launch of our Canon PSIRT global site is the next step in Canon working with the industry and its customers to showcase leadership in information security. We’re investing in our team and working to deliver the highest level of product security by further immersing ourselves in the industry and addressing vulnerabilities in a more responsive manner.”

Canon has put both product and enterprise information security under the same leadership, ensuring that all its customers experience the same high-quality service. With this launch, Canon is looking to grow its cybersecurity team with the best talent to continue delivering the highest standard of product security for customers.
