ASIS International 63rd
Annual Seminar
 Every New Invention Brings Opportunities For
Criminals
That was the message that futurist and technology expert Scott Klososky
delivered to ASIS 2017 attendees during his keynote address on Tuesday. And he
cautioned every security professional in the ballroom to always be cognizant of
the downsides and vulnerabilities of advanced innovations.
"We invent technologies without ever really having an understanding of what they
are going to do to us," he said. "It's probably time to get a little wiser."
In much the same way that technology has wiped out some blue-collar jobs,
artificial intelligence (AI) could wipe out many white-collar jobs, he
explained. But masses of unemployed white-collar workers could have a
destabilizing impact on society, and the more skilled among them could turn
to cybercrime.
But for some people, that development means that AI will go from "knowing me to
representing me to being me to replacing me," he said. And it will be
vulnerable. "Criminals are going to get very good at hijacking AI."
Those who believe we have already reached very advanced stages of technological
innovation are sadly mistaken, Klososky said, adding "we're five percent into
this battle-if that."

The Problem with Data
Mobile the Next Attack Vector
That is a mind-boggling amount of data that will be created in the near future.
And as we've seen over the past few years, it's becoming a liability for
companies facing ever-more sophisticated cyberattacks.
Social engineering attacks are still criminals' preferred method when it
comes to spreading malware to victims-such as ransomware.
"Now firmly established as a daily desktop malware threat, the profile of
ransomware as a threat on mobile devices will grow as developers hone their
skills in attacking those operating systems and platforms," EUROPOL said in a
recent report on Internet crime.
EUROPOL also predicts that devices will be the next "fertile ground for the
proliferation of mobile ransomware."
All of this has prompted renewed debate on the increased need for data breach
laws and regulation to keep sensitive data secure.

National Security Threats
Natural Disasters - Political Heating Up - Protests
A wave of natural disasters pushed emergency responders to their limits and
tested the mettle of organizational crisis plans around the world. Global
politics are heating up, bringing with them waves of populism and protests.
Unfortunately, these national security threats do not seem to be winding down
any time soon. Perhaps the most immediate threat to individuals and
organizations continues to be terrorism.
While ISIS continues to lose physical ground its influence continues to grow,
especially through powerful online recruiting tactics and the encouragement of
do-it-yourself attacks.
And then there are the grassroots guys, and that's what we're seeing in the
West. More of these inspired, sometimes kind-of-directed attacks." asisonline.org
Creating a Diverse Security Team
Look around a security conference floor and you may notice that the demographic
of the attendees does not match the demographic of the overall United States.
And while there are obstacles faced by minorities in the security industry, Wong
stressed the importance of hearing about positive experiences from women and
minorities in the industry.
Wong recently conducted a survey of more than 300 women in the cybersecurity
industry and found that the majority of responses were positive, with women
affirming that they love their jobs and feel deeply satisfied by the work they
are doing.
The survey also explored the benefits of diverse teams, and the challenges that
hiring managers-especially those in the talent-starved cybersecurity field-face
in hiring employees with different backgrounds.
Donna Kobzaruk, chair of the ASIS International Women in Security Council,
noted that it is critical for all members of an organization to understand the
importance of diversity.
"If a senior leader just demands diversity in hiring decisions, there will never
be buy-in or a true understanding of the importance," Kobzaruk said. "Once the
organization's members are educated on the concept, then it is important to look
at those hiring practices." asisonline.org

USS Provides Solution to Detect Unauthorized Magnets In Stores
 Since the dawn of modern commerce as we know it, thieves have adapted and
adopted new techniques and strategies to overcoming the ever-evolving and
improving anti-theft and security measures used by merchants and retailer.
Unfortunately, it is often the device removal technology provided to staff that
is exploited and abused.
Such is the case with rare earth magnets or shaped metal "hooks" that are used
to disarm and remove loss prevention devices that leverage electronic article
surveillance (EAS) technology. As these detachers become more readily available
and easily accessed by petty thieves and organized retail crime rings, retailers
are facing greater loss and are left with fewer protection options, as EAS has
been the primary technology used since the late 1960's.
Given this dire situation, retail loss prevention technology provider and
innovator, USS, has unveiled their solution to the disturbing trend of EAS
defeats at the hands of unauthorized magnetic detachers; the USS
Magnet Detection Module. Read more

CVS Workers Denied Class Certification In Racial Profiling Suit
4 RLPMs accused of "racially hostile remarks"
A federal district judge on Tuesday refused to certify a suit alleging race
discrimination at CVS' New York City stores as a class action, saying it was
apparent that a class action wasn't superior to individual actions.
U.S. District Judge John Koeltl denied a bid to certify a class of black and
Hispanic CVS market investigators and/or store detectives who worked in New York
City or under the same regional loss prevention managers as New York market
investigators, in a suit over an allegedly hostile work environment caused by
directions to use racial profiling against Hispanic and black store customers
and by a purported barrage of racial slurs.
The judge said the plaintiffs haven't show there are common questions of fact or
law that could be answered on a class-wide basis that cover every person in the
proposed class who worked for all of the same regional loss prevention managers
over an extended time period.
"This is particularly true when they have only adduced evidence of racially
hostile remarks by four of the 12 RLPMs, and the interactions between
potential class members and those RLPMS necessarily varied," the judge wrote.

Cartier Fined for Sanctions Violations
Shipped Items to Entity on U.S. Blacklist
U.S. Treasury: Retailers Need Sanctions Compliance Programs
The parent company of jeweler Cartier was fined for violating U.S. sanctions
after it sold items and shipped them overseas to an entity on the U.S.
blacklist.
The company agreed to pay $334,800 to settle its sanctions liability,
Treasury said. Cartier "failed to exercise a minimal degree of caution or care"
concerning the conduct that led to the violations, Treasury said, using the
case to call on retailers to develop sanctions-compliance programs,
suggesting factors for assessment such as the frequency with which they sell
items overseas, and to whom they sell those items.
Cartier, on four separate occasions, sold jewelry to an individual at a store in
California or Nevada who provided the name of a Hong Kong entity under U.S.
sanctions since 2008 as the ship-to location, according to the U.S. Treasury
Department's enforcement notice. The buyer provided the same name, address and
country location for the entity, Shuen Wai Holding Ltd., but Cartier "did not
identify any sanctions-related issues with the transaction" before shipping the
jewelry, Treasury said. wsj.com
Dems Push For Clawbacks On Departing Equifax
CEO's Pay
Senate Democrats on Tuesday blasted the resignation of Equifax Inc. Chairman and
CEO Richard Smith, saying that the longtime executive should see at least some
of his compensation clawed back and that he should not escape a hearing before a
key Congressional panel. Atlanta-based Equifax
announced
Smith's retirement early Tuesday morning amid the fallout from a hack of its
system.
Many Democrats blasted Smith, who made $15 million last year from Equifax,
for his decision to resign. The pay package he received and the ability to
exit the company on his own terms were not commensurate with the amount of
damage Equifax has done to consumers, they said.
Smith will also receive his full pension, valued at around $18 million.
Democratic lawmakers also pushed for compensation for Smith, as well as other
Equifax executives, to be clawed back as punishment for the breach. law360.com
Equifax Says Departing CEO Won't Get $5.2 Million
in Severance Pay
In unusual agreement, company and Richard Smith won't characterize departure
until investigation into hack is over.
Richard Smith won't get any severance pay as he steps down as chief executive of
beleaguered Equifax, but is likely to receive an estimated $18.4 million in
pension benefits.
But in an unusual agreement, the company and Mr. Smith decided to put off a
decision on how to characterize Mr. Smith's departure and any benefits he is due
until Equifax's board completes its investigation of the company's hack.
He is likely to get the $18.4 million in pension benefits but little else. The
CEO also owns more than 285,000 Equifax shares worth about $30 million at
the stock's current price.

Up to 5 million Sonic customers may have had their credit-card info stolen in
reported data breach
A breach of Sonic's store payment system has resulted in up to five million
stolen credit and debit card accounts being "peddled in shadowy underground
cybercrime stores," security news website
KrebsOnSecurity reported Tuesday.
According to KrebsOnSecurity, five million credit and debit cards were put up
for sale on a credit card theft website earlier in September. Many of the
millions of cards were linked to a breach at Sonic Drive-In, though the blog
notes it is possible that other companies' security systems were also
breached.
The fast-food company confirmed to KrebsOnSecurity that its credit-card
processor informed the chain last week of "unusual security regarding credit
cards being used at Sonic.
Sonic has a single point-of-sales system that is used by the majority of its
roughly 3,600 locations.

The Case for Cybersecurity Automation Over
Training
Many cybersecurity experts tout the training of employees as one of the best
moves a company can make to protect itself better against all the world's cyberthreats, but the chief executive of one cybersecurity firm says training
only goes so far and doesn't provide much resilience to firms. Kevin O'Brien,
CEO of GreatHorn, which provides products to help firms identify and prevent
social engineering and phishing attacks in their emails, said companies would be
better served by automating their cybersecurity programs to protect networks and
data before employees can click on a corrupt link or respond to a phishing
request.
An emphasis on automation doesn't mean training is not worth doing, he said, it
just means training isn't effective "when it comes to actually shutting down an
attack." Training allows the chief security officer and chief information
security officer to check off a box and clear the bar of negligence to show the
company took steps to try to mitigate an attack, said Mr. O'Brien. Without
automated processes, there are just too many messages to manually review to be
effective in thwarting attacks.

Calgary's Safeway Gets
Social Media Backlash For New Panhandler Security Pilot
Responding to constant complaints from customers reportedly being solicited in
its parking lot, the Safeway grocery store in Calgary's Kensington neighbourhood
installed rubber barriers on the retaining wall in the lot - a move that hasn't
been received well by everyone.
Several people took to Twitter Wednesday
afternoon to criticize the grocery store in Kensington Village calling the
installations "hostile" and "anti-people." However, Safeway said Thursday it was
a move they didn't take lightly, and a decision that came after other
attempts to deter panhandlers and loiterers outside the store failed.
Scobie said signs were installed in the parking lot years ago and the store
has also ramped up security, but the complaints keep coming in. Through
conversations with the store manager and the corporate office, the decision was
made to try a pilot project which saw the rubber barriers installed atop the
retaining wall.
"So we've got another two weeks to assess whether they're
doing what we want them to do - whether it eliminates customers being
solicited," Scobie said.
Kensington Village, which was
also tagged in the tweets, said Thursday it supports Safeway taking
action to address the ongoing community issue.
"As a business,
it's in their best interest to create a space that's safe for their business."
Scobie also said the organization is well aware of the negative feedback
and they're factoring that into the pilot project.
"The community
feedback is important to us but we also want to make sure our customers feel
safe," she said.

Canada just escalated the $5
billion war for Amazon's second headquarters
Tech companies look to Canada as U.S. eyes
immigration restrictions
Many Canadian cities -
from Toronto and Ottawa to Vancouver and Calgary - are all planning on placing
bids to host Amazon's next headquarters. Canada is not as affected by
political turmoil, and there's less uncertainty about changes
coming to immigration laws as there is in the US. In an interview with
the CBC, a former Amazon exec described Canada as "more welcoming"
when it comes to immigration.
Tech companies in particular have
come out strongly against proposed immigration law changes in the US, as it
directly affects their business. There is also a large degree of uncertainty
about the future of the H-1B visa program, which tech companies often
use to hire foreign nationals to work in specialized areas. In April,
Trump signed the "Buy American, Hire American" executive order which required
agencies to suggest reforms to the H-1B program "as soon as practicable."

Ex Tim Hortons CEO denies
giving confidential info from rogue franchisee group
The former CEO of Tim Hortons denies he provided confidential
information to one of Canada's national newspapers after the
coffee-and-doughnut chain's parent company commenced legal action against a
rogue group of franchisees it alleges were Don Schroeder's informants.
A
correspondence from Schroeder is quoted in a Sept. 15 story about franchisees
asking for price increases to offset upcoming minimum wage price hikes in
Ontario and Alberta. The chain's parent company, Restaurant Brands
International, is accusing board members of the GWNFA of providing
Schroeder with confidential information that he allegedly gave to the newspaper,
the association said. The GWNFA plans to seek legal action against the company
next week.
It's the latest development in an ongoing battle over the
company's direction and management since RBI acquired the chain in 2014 - three
years after Schroeder abruptly left the company's top post.

Juniper Research: Ad Fraud to Cost
Advertisers $19 billion in 2018,
Representing 9% of Total Digital Advertising Spend
A new report from
Juniper Research has found that advertisers will lose an estimated $19
billion to fraudulent activities next year, equivalent to $51 million per
day. This figure, representing advertising on online and mobile devices,
will continue to rise, reaching $44 billion by 2022.
Juniper's new research,
Future Digital Advertising - AI, Ad Fraud & Ad Blocking 2017-2022,
claimed that the 'Walled Garden', a closed platform approach whereby
advertising platforms restrict the flow of advertising performance data to
advertisers and publishers must be abandoned to stimulate transparency
between stakeholders. The report found that advertising fraud rates will
continue to increase as a result of this, further hindering stakeholder
efforts in tackling fraud.
Additionally, the research predicted that AI will be crucial in analysing
the vast amounts of data generated from advertising activities daily and
minimising loss due to fraud. It predicted that fraudsters will increasingly
innovate in their approaches to imitate genuine advertising activity
including simulated clicks, mouse movements and social network accounts.

Lexington, KY: Thief Targets Vacuums; hitting the
same store since April
 One
thief has stolen from the store multiple times and detectives say he keeps
coming back for the same items. "He would go right for the Dyson vacuum
cleaners. He, in the course of three days, carried out four vacuums," said
Detective Mark Thomas with LPD. It was back in April that he made off with the
expensive vacuums. "So it didn't take this guy long to rack up almost a 2,000
dollar price tag," said Detective Thomas. Detectives said he stole more vacuum
cleaners in June and still wasn't finished. "Just a couple of days ago, this guy
comes back up here to target again and steals another high end vacuum cleaner!
He's able to put it in the cart, and walk right past the points of sale and get
outside and get away from loss prevention," said Thomas.

Counterfeit
China continues its
big purge on counterfeit/smuggling
 The
General Administration of Customs in The People's Republic of China is
continuing with its major crackdown on counterfeit goods being
smuggled both in and out of the country and from province to
province.
This has been particular evident in the last few months alone, where it
has made multiple 'goods seizures' at borders all around the country
- in line with the central Beijing instruction to ramp up seizures
of fake goods and prosecute the perpetrators.
As a result, the last few months appear to have been busier than
usual, with large quantities of confiscated goods, including
e-cigarettes, cigarettes, jewellery, sunglasses, watches, handbags,
shoes, T-shirts and audio devices, fashion clothing and other
items.
See a detailed breakdown of goods confiscated in August
here.

Why You Should Respond Positively to Negative
Feedback Getting negative feedback isn't fun, and your
first impulse might be to lash out. Before you go blurting things out that you
might later regret, take a deep breath and use these responses instead.

Are you going beyond your job appraisal?
Every year, executives face that one moment in time when corporate America tells
you how you've done and most live within its boundaries all year long. Exceeding
at your job is, by definition, going beyond it and the only way to move up is by
doing just that. With increased job scopes and responsibilities, it may seem
almost impossible to do except for those who believe anything is possible. Are
you going beyond?
Just a Thought,
Gus
