Hikvision and Cisco held a joint meeting on cybersecurity collaboration on April 26, 2017 in Hangzhou, China.

This meeting marked the successful completion of the first phase of a collaboration that began in December. Cisco is sharing its professional cybersecurity management experience and technologies with Hikvision, facilitating Hikvision’s globalisation process.

During the meeting, CISCO cybersecurity experts reviewed results of the first phase of the project and shared relevant experience and advice on the next step. At the same time, Cisco recognised Hikvision’s dedication to safe R&D management.

Weiqi Wu, VP at Hikvision, said that the company is committed to the highest possible levels of cybersecurity. “Although the company’s cybersecurity best practices are industry-leading, cybersecurity efforts must be ongoing. Going forward, Hikvision will continue to assess and improve its cybersecurity efforts in the R&D process, and strengthen its research on security technologies. Hikvision will also continue to deepen its collaboration and communication with the world’s top cyber security companies, such as Cisco, to further improve cybersecurity in the security industry.”
