As you may be aware, the Government of Canada recently ordered Hikvision Canada Inc., a large manufacturer of security and video surveillance equipment, to cease all operations in Canada due to national security concerns.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) would like to increase awareness of the order and encourages all of its regulated parties to take note of this decision and review their own security risks and measures regarding these products.
The CFIA has reached out to all regulated parties that have dedicated CFIA workspaces for information on the use of these products to identify and mitigate any potential risks to CFIA information or assets.
Should you have any questions or require more information, do not hesitate to contact the CFIA by email at cfia.security-securite.acia@inspection.gc.ca.
