Canada’s Industry Minister Mélanie Joly has instructed Hikvision Canada—the Canadian arm of the Chinese surveillance giant—to halt its operations immediately, citing unspecified national security risks, according to Reuters. This aligns Canada more closely with allies like the U.S., which previously limited Hikvision’s operations due to concerns over cybersecurity and human rights violations. Hikvision denies these allegations, labeling the decision as biased. What does this mean for Canadian businesses and homeowners?
It's essential to review and potentially replace any Hikvision surveillance equipment promptly.
Enhanced scrutiny of foreign technology providers means investing in secure, compliant alternatives is critical.
