BRAMPTON, Ontario (June 4, 2026) – Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced that it has officially become an authorized gold reseller partner for ESET, a global pioneer in proactive digital protection and cybersecurity solutions.

This alignment supports business continuity with minimal impact on operations, total data protection and a dramatically simplified vendor ecosystem.

"As Canadian organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, the need for high-performance, low-friction security has never been greater,” says Bob Bonneau, Country Manager, ESET Canada. “Canon Canada’s trusted role in managing critical business infrastructure makes it an ideal partner to extend that protection to the endpoint. Together, we’re enabling organizations to strengthen resilience and simplify their technology ecosystem, without compromising performance.”
