Hikvision, the world’s leading supplier of innovative video surveillance products and solutions, announces a partnership with Brightsight, the number one security lab in the world, to work together in combatting cybersecurity issues and securing against attacks.

Brightsight will be Hikvision’s lab of choice for security evaluations of their product range.

In 2017, the technology research firm Gartner predicted that more than 20 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices will be deployed by 2020. Furthermore, Gartner predicts that by 2020, 95 percent of new product designs will contain IoT connectivity. As an active player in IoT, Hikvision will be able to keep on top of the developing trends through its strong relationship with Brightsight.
