Play Cybersecurity and Digital Innovation Centre

The scene opens with subtle, uplifting music and footage from behind of a man as he’s walking in the area of an office. On the wall is a sign on the window with a BDO logo on the top left, set in a white triangle that bleeds off the top-left corner of the sign. The rest of the sign is red and features a graphic of a fortifying castle and “BDO Cybersecurity and Digital Innovation Centre.”

A man’s voice, presumably of the man featured, begins speaking.

“We decided to call it the Cybersecurity and Digital Innovation Centre,” he says.

The footage cuts to the man’s point of view as he walks through the office and continues speaking:

“Because we do believe we’re at the intersection of technology and trust.”

The footage cuts to the man speaking. He’s wearing a blue sport coat and a light grey shirt. He continues:

“What we offer here is an opportunity for our clients to come in...”

The footage cuts to a boardroom where four people are engaging in discussion around a stand-up table, with screens around the room showing them information. The red BDO sign from the door is present, this time as a stand-up banner next to the table. The man continues over the shot:

“...and experience where technology is going and how we provide a secure way to enable that technology.”

The footage cuts to a woman wearing a grey jacket with a black top. She speaks:

“The opening of these centres is important for Canadian businesses...”

The footage cuts to footage of two people (a man and a woman) in an open-concept office setting. They’re being shown information on a big screen by a member of the BDO team. The woman continues speaking over the footage:

“...because it provides them a hub where they can learn about new innovation, emerging technology. And they can connect with their peers in the industry.”

The shot cuts to another woman speaking. She’s wearing a blue sport coat with a blue checkered shirt. Behind here is the red BDO sign. She begins speaking:

“Businesses are under pressure to come and figure out how they digitally transform; how can they take that next step. We’re here to help them have those experiences and learn about those things here.”

The footage cuts to two men leaving an office and walking into the main open area of the centre. Another man’s voice begins speaking:

“We’re really reliant on other countries and organizations to build our security capability...”

The shot cuts to another man speaking to the camera. He’s wearing a blue sport coat and a checkered shirt. He continues:

“But really, when we think about the industries and organizations we serve within Canada...”

The footage cuts back to the boardroom where the four people are engaging in discussion around a stand-up table. The man continues speaking over the footage:

“...we have our own unique threatened-risk landscape. So, it’s really important for us to be able to build some of those security capabilities within our country...”

The footage cuts back to the man speaking:

“...to be able to support the way that we need to do business and the way that we need to support our interests.”

The footage cuts to a shot of the red sign, now as a decal on the wall. Another man’s voice comes in over the footage:

“The centre is more than just a showcase...”

The footage cuts to a man entering the hub through its front door. The man’s voice continues over:

“It is a learning hub where business leaders can expect tailored executive briefings...”

The footage cuts to the man speaking. He’s wearing a brown sport coat with a white shirt. He continues:

“...that showcase how to imbed cybersecurity as part of their digital innovation strategy, and tailored workshops where they can work and see how security works in action.”

The footage cuts to inside the open concept area where some people are around the main table collaborating while others are at workstations. Another man begins to speak over top of the footage.

“It is a multi-faceted approach...”

The footage cuts to the man speaking. He continues:

“...to our unity of effort, and through our integrated approach and innovation.”

The footage cuts to the screens in the main boardroom showing metrics and graphs. The man continues over the footage:

“But we also bring that approach to the clients. We know where one project or initiative...”

The footage cuts to a close-up of three colleagues chatting, and then quickly to the speaking man now working at a work station. His voice continues over the footage:

“...touches others and has second- or third-order effects on their program. And we light that way continuously for them. And that’s why we have so many clients working with us for the long run.

Cut back to the first man who spoke in the video:

“When business leaders come to the Centre and engage with our team, what they can experience and expect to experience...”

The footage cuts to a team collaborating in a corner office. The man continues speaking over the footage:

“...is a highly immersive session where we can test new technologies; we can imbed cybersecurity into new digital transformational initiatives.”

Cut back to a shot of the red BDO Cybersecurity and Digital Innovation Centre decal on the wall. The man finishes up:

“And this provides our clients with real-life, hands-on experience.”

A BDO logo on a white background with a red triangle bleeding off the bottom right of the frame fades in as the music fades out.
