1st Time - Vendors Are Top Cyber Concern
US Companies Holding Vendors Accountable for Cyber Issues
NAVEX Global has released data that shows that
US companies are now moving quickly to go after vendors on cyber issues.
The report covers a number of topics, and shows that for the first time,
companies are more concerned about cyber security problems with their vendors
and partners than anything else. However, while concerns about third-party
risk remain high - particularly regarding cybersecurity - more than half of
organizations (58%) ranked their programs as maturing or advanced.
"We continue to see a move toward centralized and automated systems, which allow
organizations to treat third parties the same way they treat their own employees
with access to hotlines, training and policies."
While survey respondents identified cybersecurity as the top concern overall,
bribery and corruption was still the #1 issue among organizations with more than
5,000 employees and annual revenues of $1 billion or more. Bribery and
corruption was also a greater concern among organizations where 20 percent or
more of their annual revenue is related to or generated by their third parties.

Showtime documentary 'Active Shooter'
The eight-part series, which began airing two days before the Oct. 1 shooting in
Las Vegas, examines the nation's modern-day spate of mass shootings, including
incidents in Aurora, Colo.; San Bernardino, Calif.; Charleston, S.C.; and
Columbine, Colo.
Friday's episode, which airs at 9 p.m., includes interviews with club-goers, a
Pulse security guard, the late columnist and activist Billy Manes and a former
police officer left with debilitating post-traumatic stress after dealing with
the bodies of the dead.
Saidman hopes the series - spared from "talking heads shouting over each other"
about gun control - will provoke a more contemplative discussion of what can be
done to stem the violence, he said.

Why employers should keep their eyes out for
perpetrators of domestic violence
Prevention programs and an open work environment can help prevent domestic
violence. Perpetrators of domestic violence often use workplace hours to
continue their abusive behavior, according to researchers at the Ontario
Institute for Studies in Education (OISE).
Companies should not abdicate their duty of responsibility for their staff: 75%
of victims face harassment from their partners even
while at work.
One-third of respondents said they are in contact with their current or former
partners during work and engaging in arguments, emotionally abusive actions or
monitoring their whereabouts.
What's more, a quarter of respondents said they use their workplace time to drop
by their partners' homes or workplaces and 20% said their co-workers were aware
of this.
There's a financial, as well as a social cost, for businesses. Domestic violence
costs the U.S. economy $8.3 billion a year from medical costs and lost
productivity, according to a
2004 report.

Miami-Dade Commissioner Wants Stiffer Penalties
for Looting
After 26 people arrested looting North Miami Walmart
The videos were aired on repeat on local cable news channels as Hurricane Irma
battered South Florida: small groups of people breaking into shoe stores and
leaving with boxes of stolen sneakers. As WPLG and WSVN replayed the incidents,
the footage quickly made its way into the national news cycle.
Now, citing those thefts and a handful of others, Miami-Dade Commissioner Jose "Pepe"
Diaz is pushing for tougher laws against looting in the wake of a hurricane. A
resolution he presented during a commission meeting this month urges
Tallahassee lawmakers to pass legislation requiring looters to pay restitution
twice the value of any loss or damage caused by their crimes.
Florida law already imposes stiffer penalties for burglaries and thefts
committed while the governor has declared a state of emergency, but Diaz wants
those rules to also apply when a state of emergency has been declared on a local
level.
The resolution cites four examples: 26 people arrested for allegedly looting a
Walmart on the north side of Miami, six men accused of breaking into stores and
snagging products inside the Shops at Midtown Miami, two teenagers entering a
home in Broward while the owners were out of the country, and nine people busted
for breaking into a shoe store and pawnshop in Fort Lauderdale.

"Third Shift" - "Midnight Shift" - "Ghost Shift"
They Produce the Best Counterfeits
To set the stage, imagine you are a Chinese factory owner. You have been
contracted by Coach to produce 10,000 designer handbags. When your
workers are done, you still have the materials to make more. Your contract is
done; the materials can be thrown out. Except you have the workers who know
exactly how to make the real thing, the machines that made the real thing, and
the materials used to make the real thing. Why not simply make more and sell
them out the back door, on the street, to tourists and locals alike? There might
not be the same quality assurance, but what does that matter when there is money
to be made?
Known as the "third shift," "midnight shift," or "ghost shift," this is
exactly what happens in some less scrupulous overseas factories. The workers
take on an extra shift for more money, while the factory owners profit. And
while it is
not limited to designer handbags, it's where the best counterfeits come
from.
"You've taught a company to produce something," an anonymous China-based
investigator
told Fortune, "and perhaps that's all those people know how to do. Just
because you have agreements doesn't mean those people are going to stop doing
what they've learned." equities.com
Here They Come - Commercial Drones
Trump Signs DOT Order - Get Them Up There
The Trump administration says U.S. aviation regulations are outdated and limit
the amount of testing companies can do with drones. To help, the White House has
launched a new drone Integration Pilot Program. It orders the Transportation
Department to work with state and local governments to establish innovation
zones to test ways of incorporating drones into local airspaces.
This new initiative will likely excite companies such as Amazon and 7-Eleven,
but this is bigger than getting a quick delivery of Soylent or Slurpees.
The newly created Unmanned Aircraft System Integration Pilot Program will ask
state, local, and tribal authorities for their input on how to craft rules for
drones that please everyone. But the FAA doesn't want a confusing patchwork of
rules.
In an effort to figure out what will work best, the DOT is accepting ideas from
those local, state, and tribal authorities, who are invited to work with
private-sector partners (how those partnerships will work, exactly, is TBA). The
DOT will pick at least five proposals out of all the projects and use those to
run experiments over the next three years. Eventually, that will lead to
national rules.
Flirtey, which has partnered with NASA, 7-Eleven, and Domino's Pizza on proof of
concept drone deliveries, thinks fast-tracking regulations will lead to
advancements everyone will benefit from.

From Road Signs to Wild Fires
Prison Labor generates $2 Billion in revenue each year
At the federal level, the Bureau of Prisons operates the Federal Prison
Industries Program that pays inmates $0.90 an hour to produce everything from
mattresses and spectacles to road signs for government agencies, earning the
government about $500 million in sales in 2016, according to The Economist.
Overall some estimate that prison labor generates about $2 billion of revenue
annually for federal, state and local governments and private businesses.
Low-cost, and at times, no-cost prison labor has become so common that most
people don't even know that prisoners are providing essential services.
For example, as wildfires ravage California, inmates account for about 40
percent of the firefighters trying to contain the devastating blazes.
Thousands of state prisoners work as firefighters, for as little as $2 a day. As
news reports herald the heroic and dangerous work done by firefighter combating
wildfires, few realize those efforts are being provided for practically nothing.

Crime Accountability Partnership Program Has Saved Communities $100M and Changed
Lives
Created by Turning Point Justice (TPJ) (http://turningpointjustice.com)
and the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention (NASP) (http://www.shopliftingprevention.org),
the Crime Accountability Partnership (C.A. Partnership) Program has not only
saved communities more than $100 million in resources, but it has saved
thousands of people from a self-destructive, criminal future. The C.A.
Partnership Program has become the newest ally in the fight against shoplifting.
 Offered
free to retailers and their law enforcement partners, the Crime Accountability
Partnership Program significantly reduces the drain on police resources in
responding to petty shoplifting, helps reduce court case backlogs and frees up
valuable public and private resources, enabling police and loss prevention
personnel to focus on more significant issues.
In use by major retailers, such as Sears, Kmart, and Walmart, the C.A.
Partnership Program was designed by criminal justice and loss prevention
professionals and uses TPJ's Cloud-Justice technology and NASP's court-approved
educational programs to facilitate a path to education for shoplift offenders.
Guided by restorative justice principles, the program requires that offenders
accept responsibility for their actions, pay restitution to the retail victim
and complete the appropriate NASP education course to build their competency and
prevent repeat offenses.
In 2016 and 2017, the program allowed partner retailers to reduce calls to law
enforcement between 40% and 60% while effectively educating and holding
offenders accountable and creating a database that tracks repeat offenders
across retailers and jurisdictions providing an invaluable intelligence and
investigative tool for ORC and police investigators alike.

Security Forecast: Cloudy with Low Data
Visibility
Businesses are moving more sensitive data to the cloud but struggle to
monitor and manage it once it's there.
A need for greater flexibility, speed, and convenience is driving more
businesses to the cloud. Less than 25% had their applications, data, and
infrastructure in the cloud two years ago but 44% have them cloud-based today,
and 65% will be cloud-based two years from now.
The data comes from a
study by Google Cloud and the MIT SMR Custom Studio. Researchers polled more
than 500 IT decision-makers and found security is also a key driver of cloud
adoption: 44% of respondents moved to the cloud because of their increased
confidence in security. Overall, 74% of participants are more confident in
cloud security.
A Change in Perspective
"It used to be that security was one of the things holding organizations back
from the cloud," says Rob Sadowski, trust and security marketing lead for
Google Cloud. "What we're starting to see, and what we saw in the research, is
the script is almost flipping."
While Sadowski admits the confidence is partly due to improved documentation, he
says two-thirds of respondents attribute their confidence to direct experience
in the cloud. The top most consistent two reasons for moving to the cloud
include "increased flexibility in business processes and vendor choices," and
the "ability to integrate with new tools and platforms."

Amazon Web Services
Inside the Amazon company that's even bigger than Amazon.com
Over the last decade, Amazon has quietly built up the world's largest
cloud-services company, called AWS (Amazon Web Services). In terms of income
and profit, it's much bigger than Amazon.com (the division that sells stuff by
mail-order).
Amazon's fastest-growing core business continues to be Amazon Web Services,
which grew 42 percent year over year and now accounts for 11 percent of the
company's total revenue. That growth rate, however, is decelerated from 55
percent in the second quarter.
It's also much bigger than its rivals, which include Microsoft, IBM, and Google;
in fact, AWS says that it's bigger than its next 14 competitors combined.

Insider threats: the 4 vulnerabilities you're
missing
The next insider threat won't be a malicious mastermind, he or she may not
even be an employee. Are you prepared?
Here are four insider threat vulnerabilities that are undervalued and what we
can do about them.
1. Leadership The business side of the C-Suite is tasked with managing
development, strategic decision making and, ultimately, organizational success.
As such, cybersecurity policies are often seen as a barrier to progress and
action. Unfortunately, securing an organization against insider threats requires
buy-in from the entire leadership team, not just the CSO. So, what can you do?
CSOs need to work with the rest of the C-Suite to convince them of the business
case for tackling negligent and compromised insider threats. Only then will
secure decision making filter down through the ranks.
2. Recruitment Insider threats can be fought on multiple fronts-including
early in the recruitment and hiring process. Hiring leaders should look beyond
the standard criminal background checks, and dig, into a prospect's history to
look for anything that might render them susceptible to blackmail or bribery.
This means understanding credit history, outstanding debts and anything else
that could be used as leverage. Recruiters also need to ensure that new hires
have a competent grasp of your security culture.
3. Bad (or non-existent) BYOD process
Millennials make up the largest portion of the U.S. workforce today, and Gen Z
will be your next generation of employees. These generations are beyond
comfortable sharing their personal information. Meanwhile, stopping them from
using their personal devices is impossible, nor should it be necessary.
Personal devices don't have to be inherently risky, but they do require
organizations to have a thoughtful, comprehensive bring your own device (BYOD)
policy. This means thinking about how the future of the workplace looks: people
working on the go, for example. Help employees avoid the risks of public WiFi
with a VPN or hotspot, and lower the risk of lost information by keeping
business files in a secure cloud, which makes it unnecessary to store such data
on personal devices.
4. A lack of visibility You'd be surprised how many organizations have
little to no visibility when it comes to network activity. But, lacking the
ability to monitor user behavior and file movement, you'll find yourself
blindsided when it comes to insider threats. When developing a proactive
insider threat plan, CSOs need to be asking, "How much network visibility do
we have?"

Unattended c-stores are on the rise in China
Staffless stores like EasyGo are an emerging phenomenon in China, as e-commerce
companies big and small are investing lots of financial, technology and product
development resources in this area. Hans Tung, managing partner for GGV Capital,
which invested in unmanned store startups BingoBox and CityBox in China, said
this trend can be partly ascribed to the country's growing population of urban
commuters in metropolitan cities who value convenience and efficiency.

Here Come More Store Formats
Amazon had an exceedingly busy third quarter
The third quarter included the third iteration of Amazon Prime Day (held July
11), the now-30-hour sales day that offers special discounts to members of
Amazon Prime.
Amazon had
90 million Prime members as of Sept. 30, the end of Q3, up 25 million
from a year earlier. Amazon also
closed its acquisition of Whole Foods Market Inc. during the quarter and
began adding Whole Foods products to Amazon.com.
Amazon increases growth of its online stores by 22%. All that said, it is clear
that Amazon's own online stores are no longer the star of the show. Both the
subscription services arm and Amazon's web services division (AWS) are outpacing
product sales in growth terms. The former, which includes Prime fees, grew by
59% and the latter by 42%.
Amazon chief financial officer Brian Olsavsky said consumers can expect to see
more development on the integration of Amazon services with Whole Foods,
particularly for Amazon Fresh, Amazon Prime Now, Amazon Lockers and Whole Foods
goods. "Whole Foods gives us a vast head start on [developing additional
store formats]," Olsavsky said.
Also announced or opened 10 additional fulfillment centers in the U.S.

Alibaba Bans Air Bag Components and Combats
Fake Goods on its Marketplaces
Alibaba has banned listings of car airbag components on two of its
cross-border e-commerce platforms.
The implementation of the ban, beginning last month, on what's referred to
in the industry as "SRS-related equipment" has already resulted in removal
of 22,000 online listings from over 700 vendors. To prevent future listings, Alibaba's platform algorithms is also intercepting pre-listings and blocking
them in real time.
Alibaba has banned sales of airbags, themselves, on its platforms since 2014
because of the potential for significant safety-related issues. Alibaba said
it extended its ban to airbag component parts for the same reason, as well
as to halt potential fakes.
Already active in IP protection, Alibaba has stepped things up this year,
taking a multi-pronged approach to rooting out fakes and bad actors, both
online and offline.

Identity Theft Ring of 6 Indicted for Credit Card
Fraud
A federal grand jury returned an indictment today charging six people with
conspiring to commit bank and wire fraud, conspiring to traffic in contraband
cigarettes, aggravated identity theft, and access device fraud.
The six conspirators purchased stolen financial information including credit
and debit card numbers from black market websites. The conspirators encoded
that stolen information, including information belonging to real people, onto
forged credit cards that they used to purchase things of value, including
cartons of cigarettes. They then resold over 10,000 of those cigarettes to
black market resellers for $47 per carton.
According to the indictment, laptops recovered from the conspirators included
files of thousands of credit card numbers, including 2,000 numbers recovered
from Travon Williams' laptop and over 10,000 numbers recovered from Nathaneal
Williams' laptop.

In the late hours of August 15, a Colorado Springs police officer was called
Walmart for a reported shoplifter leaving the store. As soon as Young - the
suspected shoplifter - saw the officer, he bolted through the store and out one
of the loading docks. The officers lost track of Young for a moment, until Voltz
heard some rustling in the bushes. Voltz reportedly got out of his patrol car to
investigate and that's when Young jumped from behind the bushes with what looked
like a gun. The report says Voltz saw Young run in the direction of the other
officers with what looked like a gun so he radioed to the other officers that
the suspect had a gun. It was a CO2 pellet gun.

Getting involved in a process is an
obligation and taking it seriously is absolutely critical to your success
regardless of what the process involves. Whether it's looking at a job or
sitting on a company committee. Once you've committed, your reputation, your
image, your future is at stake. Minimizing it won't decrease the impact nor will
it reduce the expectations of others. Because when you become part of a process,
other people are either looking at you or they're counting on you to be your
best or give your best. So once you've committed, follow through and deliver
your best.
Just a Thought,
Gus
