Hikvision Canada Inc., a leader in artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics and other emerging technologies, and the world’s largest manufacturer of video surveillance products and solutions, has announced the launch of its cybersecurity roadshow. “Cybersecurity Myths and Facts: Presented by Hikvision” will take place in key locations across Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver).

“Our challenge here at Hikvision is the same as other video surveillance providers,” said Chuck Davis, Hikvision’s director of cybersecurity for North America. “The difference is that we are the number one video surveillance provider in the world, so we believe it is our responsibility to be vigilant in terms of cybersecurity defense. It’s a formidable challenge but everyone here at Hikvision is onboard.”

Presented by Hikvision Canada Inc. and hosted by Davis, each roadshow event will consist of a two-hour interactive education session about cyber security, cyber threats and vulnerabilities, myths about the video surveillance industry, and best practices to mitigate those threats and vulnerabilities. With more than 20 years’ experience building world-class cybersecurity programs for large enterprise organizations, Davis recently joined Hikvision from IBM, where he was an executive security architect. He holds seven US Patents and numerous certifications, including the CISSP-ISSAP. “We’re looking forward to bringing our cybersecurity resources directly to our clients and partners in Canada,” said Alex Asnovich, head of marketing for Hikvision North America. Hikvision is planning a U.S. cybersecurity road show in 2018.
