With uniFLOW Online, administrators can establish a requirement for users to identify themselves at the imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX device and leverage Secure Print functionality so that documents can only be printed when the user is physically standing at the device and authenticates \u2013 regardless of whether the user submitted the print job from their desktop or mobile device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday, the United States is increasingly focusing on protecting public spaces, as well as IT\/cyber security networks, and they are calling on innovative companies like Canon U.S.A., Inc., to help them do so,\u201d said Tammy Waitt, co-founder and editorial director, American Security Today. \u201c\u2018ASTORS\u2019 nominations are evaluated on their technical innovation, interoperability, specific impact within the category, overall impact to the industry, relatability to other industry technologies, and application feasibility outside of the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Annual \u2018ASTORS\u2019 Awards, now in their fifth year, is the preeminent United States Homeland Security Awards Program, highlighting the most cutting-edge and forward-thinking security solutions coming onto the market today.
