Jonathan Lewit, Chair of the ONVIF Communication Committee, will present on “It takes a Village: Addressing Cyber Security Threats Through Standardisation, People and Process,” a session designed to help attendees understand the interplay between the elements of standardisation, people and process, and how ONVIF leverages established best practices for cyber security in its specifications. Lewit, who also serves as Director of Technology Leadership for Pelco by Schneider Electric, will address the importance of these best practices in cyber security, as the number of IOT devices is expected to surge in the next three years. Lewit will be speaking at 12:00 on Tuesday, January 23.

“ONVIF is designed to standardise physical security in a way that reflects industry specifications and needs,” said Per Björkdahl, Chairman of the ONVIF Steering Committee. “Jonathan will speak to Intersec attendees about how ONVIF interoperability standards enable manufacturers, systems integrators and end users alike to take the necessary steps to improve cyber security.”

Founded in 2008, ONVIF is a leading and well-recognised industry forum driving interoperability for IP-based physical security products. The organisation has a global member base of established camera, video management system and access control companies and nearly 9,000 Profile conformant products.
