Everon Whitepaper
A Layered Approach to Securing Retail Entrances Against Theft
Retailers across the nation are feeling the strain and profit
loss attributed to a rise in external theft hitting their stores. Taking
an active role in layering technology and updating policies and
procedures can help retailers stem the flow of activity and risk.
 Shoplifting
has been around as long as shopping itself. What changes over the years
is the methods deployed by the thieves and the magnitude of the issue
for retailers’ bottom lines. As reported by a number of industry
associations, security suppliers and retailers, the COVID-19 pandemic
has played a significant role in increasing the frequency of more
violent types of crimes.
While no one solution or even combination of solutions will
completely eradicate shoplifting from our society, taking an active role
in layering technology and updating policies and procedures can help
retailers stem the flow of activity and risk. Active prevention methods
such as signage, visible camera technologies and public view monitors,
along with solutions designed to modify consumer behavior, can have an
impact on deterring crime across the retail industry.
Shoplifting, organized retail crime and social media-driven theft
impacts everyone—from the consumer to the retailer and the communities
where they operate—so a coordinated effort between retailers, their
security partners and law enforcement is an essential first step.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
From Reactive to Proactive
The Evolution of Retail Facial Recognition
 By
the D&D Daily staff
Facial recognition has become one of the most talked-about technologies
in retail security, but its growing adoption is the result of years of
development rather than an overnight shift. As retailers continue
looking for more proactive ways to address organized retail crime,
repeat offenders, and workplace safety, facial recognition has
evolved from an emerging concept into an increasingly important
component of modern asset protection strategies.
Unlike traditional surveillance systems that often require investigators
to review footage after an incident has occurred, facial recognition
can help retailers identify known persons of interest as they enter a
store. That shift from reactive investigation to real-time awareness
has allowed many organizations to intervene earlier, enhance associate
and customer safety, and better allocate security resources.
Long before facial recognition became part of today's broader AI
conversation, companies such as
FaceFirst were already applying the technology specifically to
retail security. For years, the company has helped retailers gain
real-time awareness of known repeat offenders through AI-assisted face
matching, supporting a shift from reactive investigations to more
proactive loss prevention strategies. That early emphasis on
retail-specific use cases helped shape the way many retailers view
facial recognition today.
Today's retailers increasingly view facial recognition as one layer
within a broader security ecosystem that may also include video
analytics, license plate recognition, electronic article surveillance,
case management platforms,
cart control and other technologies. Used together, these tools can
provide greater situational awareness while helping investigators
connect incidents, identify repeat patterns, and build stronger cases
involving organized retail crime.
As retail crime continues to evolve, technology is also moving beyond
documenting incidents after they occur. The emphasis is increasingly on
preventing losses before merchandise leaves the store and providing
associates with timely, actionable information that supports safer
decision-making. Facial recognition has become an important part of
that evolution, giving retailers another tool to strengthen security
while reinforcing the industry's continued shift toward proactive loss
prevention.
Shoplifting Falls 4% in the UK
UK retail crime starts to fall as retailers fight back
Shoplifting in the UK has started to
fall as retailers increase investment in crime prevention and work more
closely with police, government agencies and other partners.
UK retail crime is showing early signs of improvement as retailers,
police and government agencies take stronger action to tackle
shoplifting and violence against retail workers.
New figures show shoplifting offences fell by 4% in the year to March
2026, reaching 507,086 recorded offences.
The decline marks a small step forward for retailers that have faced
rising levels of theft, abuse and attacks in recent years. However,
industry leaders warn that retail crime remains a major challenge and
that further action is needed to maintain progress.
The latest figures from the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS),
highlighted by the British Retail Consortium (BRC), indicate that
shoplifting has started to decline after a period of sustained pressure
on retailers.
Retailers have responded by increasing investment in security measures,
improving crime reporting and working more closely with police and
other organisations. The industry has also pushed for stronger legal
protections for shop workers and tougher action against repeat
offenders.
Lucy Whing, crime policy adviser at the BRC, said the latest figures
provided “a welcome indication of progress”, but warned that the
overall challenge remained significant.
Retailers across the UK have introduced a range of measures to reduce
crime, including improved surveillance, better information sharing
and closer cooperation with law enforcement.

State Expands Anti-Theft Enforcement
Sen. Joey Hensley Highlights New Tennessee Laws Targeting Organized
Crime and Public Safety
State Sen. Joey Hensley has released a legislative update highlighting
several public safety measures approved by the Tennessee General
Assembly during the 2026 session. Campaigns& Elections
Among the new laws is legislation strengthening penalties for
organized retail theft. The measure includes a
mandatory minimum 30-day jail sentence when a firearm or anti-theft
device is used during the crime, creates a registry of
convicted organized retail theft offenders, and gives law enforcement
additional time to investigate organized theft rings.
Lawmakers also approved legislation creating a new criminal offense
for fraudulent freight theft. The law is intended to combat
organized cargo theft, requires law enforcement agencies to accept theft
reports regardless of where the crime occurred, and aims to improve the
ability of victims to recover losses.
Another measure targets organized theft schemes involving individuals
who follow people after they leave banks, businesses, or ATMs with the
intent to rob them. The law establishes new criminal penalties that
increase depending on whether the offense involves burglary or robbery.
In addition, lawmakers approved a measure allowing victims to seek
damages from individuals or organizations that finance unlawful protest
activity involving rioting, property destruction, or other illegal acts.
The legislation specifies that peaceful protest remains protected.

California's ORC Crackdown: Not All
It's Cracked Up To Be?
Opinion: Gavin Newsom Bragged About His Organized Retail Crime Task
Force, but There's a Big Problem
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is trying to take a victory lap on his
Organized Retail Crime Task Force, bragging it's recovered $76.2
million in stolen goods, including $6.2 million. There are several
problems with this, of course.
First, there's the math. California taxpayers have spent $2 billion
on combatting retail crime. That means the $76.2 million
recovered is less than four percent of what was spent fighting it.
Also, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce reported in 2021 that California
retail crime has cost businesses about $19.1 billion overall, including
$3.4 billion in lost tax revenue.
In 2022 alone, it was estimated that businesses lost $8.7 billion to
retail theft, with some annual estimates saying they've lost
$13-20 billion each year. So the $76.2 million recovered is a
drop in the bucket compared to the billions retailers have lost.
Yes. And California Democrats made retail theft under a certain amount a
misdemeanor. They encouraged this.
Californians voted in 2024 on Proposition 36, a tough-on-crime measure
to help stop things like this. Newsom was not happy about it, and
even though the measure passed, Democrats have not funded it, rendering
it moot.

AI CEOs Coming?
An AI Is About to Become a First-Time CEO
Every major AI lab is building toward the autonomous employee.
Skyfall AI thinks that goal is too small. The startup, founded by the
team behind Maluuba, which Microsoft acquired for about $160 million in
2017, emerged from stealth on July 20 with a different target: an AI
that runs an entire company, Forbes reported.
Skyfall plans to acquire a small B2B SaaS or eCommerce business for up
to $1 million and give its AI control over pricing, marketing,
customer support, finance and operations, Forbes reported. Humans
will retain only the legal and regulatory duties: signing acquisition
documents, setting up banking and filing taxes. The AI will handle the
rest. Skyfall is targeting a doubling of revenue within six months and
plans to document the experiment publicly, including any failures.
“The job of a CEO is to make hundreds of decisions every week with
thousands of data points available to you,” Sam Pasupalak, Skyfall’s
co-founder and CEO, told Tech Startups. “To automate that, you need more
than a chatbot. You need a comprehensive system that understands the
fundamentals of a company: how marketing spend impacts sales, how HR
shifts affect productivity, and how to plan across long horizons.”
Skyfall is backed by Fidelity, Inovia Capital, Touring Capital, M13,
NextView Ventures and Garage Capital, according to Tech Startups, though
the funding amount has not been disclosed. Skyfall calls its technology
Enterprise World Models, AI systems designed to predict the future
state of a business by simulating thousands of possible decisions and
their downstream effects rather than generating text responses to
individual prompts, the company said.
The idea of an AI chief executive is not new. NetDragon Websoft, a
Chinese gaming technology company, appointed an AI-powered virtual
executive named Tang Yu as rotating CEO of its flagship subsidiary in
August 2022, NetDragon announced. Spirits company Dictador appointed a
humanoid robot named Mika as its experimental CEO the same year, Reuters
reported. Both attracted significant press coverage but functioned as
decision-support tools rather than autonomous operators; major decisions
at both companies remained with human executives, Forbes noted.

More Surveillance Pricing Bans
NJ governor signs law banning surveillance pricing and delaying use of
new ESLs
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill has signed legislation that bans the use
of surveillance pricing.
The state’s new Fair Price Protection Act prohibits grocery stores
and third-party grocery delivery platforms from using personal data to
set individualized prices on groceries and other necessities. The
new law, which goes into effect Aug.1, 2027, does not ban loyalty
programs or discounts. (The legislation passed both houses of the
legislature on June 30.)
In addition, the bill also places a one-year pause on the use of new
electronic shelf labels while the state studies the impact of the
technology. Stores, however, can keep using, repairing or replacing
existing electronic shelf labels that are already in place.
The new law makes surveillance pricing a consumer fraud violation
punishable by up to $20,000 in fines and additional civil enforcement
penalties from the Attorney General’s Office.
With the signing of the bill, New Jersey has become the third state
to ban grocery surveillance pricing, following Maryland and Connecticut.
Similar legislation has passed in New York, where it is under review by
Gov. Kathy Hochul.
Other states considering surveillance pricing bans include, among
others, California and Illinois.

Overlooked Safety Threat?
Impairment is Safety Risk Often Overlooked
National Safety Council provides
grant to study fatigue, a major impairment risk.
Impairment, which the National Safety Council (NSC) defines as a
temporary negative change in a person’s ability to do their work
normally or safely, regardless of cause, is often not examined at
the same level as other safety risks.
One of the major causes of impairment is fatigue. And for that
reason, the NSC recently announced it is offering a grant from its 2026
Work to Zero Fatigue Pilot Grant program to Impairment Science. Inc.
The program is an initiative to advance innovative technologies that can
help prevent fatigue-related incidents and injuries in the workplace.
Fatigue is a high safety risk. One study, from NSC, found that
workers on night shifts face a 30% greater risk of injury, while
employees working 12-hour shifts experience nearly a 40% increase in
injury risk.

Nationwide Protests Over the Weekend
Thousands in US protest against ICE, datacenters and voter suppression
this weekend
Thousands of Americans took to the streets this weekend in mass
protests around issues likely to define the midterm elections:
widespread violence from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
agents, voter suppression and datacenter construction.
The protests – some recently planned in response to last week’s ICE
shootings, others an annual event with new urgency – took place not
just in big cities and progressive towns, but also in rural and red
areas.
US protests have been on the rise in Trump’s second term – with
millions rallying against authoritarianism, ICE enforcement, wars in
Iran and Gaza and billionaire greed. But progressives aren’t the only
ones demanding change; Saturday’s protests against datacenters are
organized by conservatives against big AI.

Many Americans Admit They've
Shoplifted Over Past Year
3 in 10 Americans say they’ve shoplifted with inflation cited: Survey
More than 3 in 10 Americans say they’ve shoplifted at least once over
the past year, according to a new LendingTree survey, up from 23%
who said the same in 2024.
 The
survey found 30% of respondents reported shoplifting within the past
year, with many citing inflation and broader economic pressures as
contributing factors. Among those who shoplifted, 90% said rising
prices and the economy played a role in their decision.
Younger Americans were the most likely to shoplift, with nearly 4 in 10
Gen Z adults ages 18 to 29 and 38% of millennials ages 30 to 45
reporting they had shoplifted — compared with 24% of Gen X and 18% of
baby boomers. Men also reported shoplifting at higher rates than women,
36% vs. 23%.
Among respondents who said they’ve shoplifted, 37% said they did so
within the past year, up from 23% in LendingTree’s 2024 survey.
Additionally, 12% said they shoplift regularly, while 60% reported
shoplifting after age 16.
The survey also found widespread agreement that inflation is fueling
retail theft. Four in five Americans said higher prices have made people
more likely to shoplift, while 62% believe large retailers can absorb
the financial losses. That belief was more common among Gen Z and
millennials than Gen X or baby boomers.
Food and nonalcoholic beverages were the most commonly stolen items,
with 30% of respondents who shoplift reporting taking them. Clothing,
accessories and jewelry followed at 25%, while 20% said they had stolen
personal hygiene products.
Grocery stores were the most commonly reported target, with 39%
of respondents who shoplift saying they stole from them. They were
followed by dollar stores (28%), department stores (25%), retailers with
self-checkout (21%) and convenience stores (21%).
When asked which retailers were the easiest to shoplift from,
respondents most often named Walmart (47%), followed by Family Dollar
(21%), Amazon Fresh (14%), Kroger (11%) and Costco (10%). Another
14% said they weren’t sure.

Managing Shadow AI Risks
Shadow AI is becoming enterprise security’s biggest blind spot
Artificial intelligence has moved from experimentation to everyday
business operations with remarkable speed. Employees are using it to
summarize documents, draft communications, analyze spreadsheets, write
code, build automations, and create AI-powered workflows across nearly
every business function.
Microsoft’s 2026 Work Trend Index found that employees often adopt AI
faster than their organizations can adapt to it. As AI is integrated
into team members’ daily jobs, businesses are struggling to keep pace
with governance, management practices, and organizational readiness.
For security leaders, however, the biggest challenge is understanding
how much AI is already operating outside official channels. These
unsanctioned applications, workflows, and AI-enabled software features
make up what has become known as shadow AI, and they’re creating one of
the fastest-growing visibility gaps in enterprise security.
The result is that many organizations have significantly more AI
operating inside their environments than leadership believes.
Shadow AI creates risks employees rarely
recognize
One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding shadow AI is that the
primary concern is unauthorized software. The larger issue is
unauthorized data movement.
Most employees don’t stop to read the data handling policies behind
the AI tools they use. They upload presentations for summaries,
paste confidential proposals into chat windows, or ask AI to analyze
customer information because they’re trying to work more efficiently. In
many cases, they have little visibility into how that data is stored,
retained, or used once it leaves their hands.
In other situations, the risk is less obvious. An employee may enable
an AI feature inside an existing SaaS platform because it promises to
automate repetitive work. They may never consider whether the
feature has access to customer records, financial information,
proprietary source code, intellectual property, or regulated personal
data. Security teams see a new pathway through which sensitive
information may be exposed.

AI Tools Targeted By Hackers
The most vulnerable AI products are also some of the most commonly
exposed online
It is becoming increasingly easy for
hackers to target vulnerable AI tools on companies’ networks, even as
those companies come to depend on them for more tasks.
North America accounts for the most internet-exposed industrial
control systems (ICS) as of early 2026, with roughly 38% of all such
devices located on the continent, according to the internet monitoring
firm Censys.
Meanwhile, the number of publicly accessible AI tools is growing fast:
Censys detected more than 294,000 IP addresses associated with AI
services in early 2026, up from 183,000 in October 2025.
The data, from a preview of Censys’s annual internet exposure report,
highlights the vast array of targets available to hackers who are
intent on sabotaging critical infrastructure or subverting the AI
tools on which companies increasingly rely.
Not only are AI services increasingly appearing on the public
internet, but the products with the most significant vulnerabilities are
the ones popping up most frequently. Censys detected 169% more
instances of the AI agent-building tool Langflow over the past nine
months, even as the software has accumulated 18 vulnerabilities (14 of
them scored as high-severity, four of them seeing exploitation) since
2024.
“Multiple unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities
make any Internet-exposed instance a critical finding,” Censys said.

Redundant Cybersecurity Regulations?
GAO report details scope of cybersecurity regulation overlap
A morass of rules is forcing
companies to report the same information multiple times — and sometimes,
those rules conflict.
Roughly 70% of federal cybersecurity regulations contain redundant
reporting requirements, according to the Government Accountability
Office, potentially imposing an unnecessary burden on critical
infrastructure providers without generating significant benefits for
their government overseers.
Thirty-seven agencies have issued 117 cybersecurity rules covering
nine infrastructure sectors, GAO said in a report published on
Wednesday, and 80 of those rules cover the same ground, requiring
reports on cybersecurity incidents, plans or audits. Across those 80
rules, the GAO found 125 distinct requirements.
“Many regulations required multiple types of reporting,” GAO
analysts wrote in their report to leaders of the House and Senate
homeland-security committees. “When multiple regulations have the same
types of reporting requirements, particularly when the requirements
affect entities within the same sector or across multiple sectors, those
regulations have the potential to be duplicative or conflicting.”
The GAO identified 48 incident-reporting requirements from 27
agencies; 52 plan reporting requirements from 26 agencies; and 25 audit
reporting requirements from 15 agencies.

AI Shopping Becoming Widespread
Most consumers have used an AI shopping agent
Artificial intelligence agents are rapidly moving into mainstream U.S.
consumer shopping behavior.
Nine-in-10 U.S. consumers surveyed by global AI deployment partner
CI&T have either used an AI agent when shopping or are open to doing so
in the future. This figure includes the three-quarters (74%) of
respondents to the CI&T “Retail Tech Report: Agentic Commerce Edition”
who have already used an AI agent when shopping. In addition, close to
two-thirds (63%) of respondents who have yet to use an AI agent said
they are open to doing so.
Other interesting statistics about respondents who have used AI agents
to shop include:
-
Almost eight-in-10
(78%) respondents say AI makes them smarter shoppers.
-
More than half (55%)
say AI makes them shop more.
-
The most popular
AI-assisted shopping activities are comparing different brands
(55%), finding the lowest price (55%) and finding where specific
items can be bought (49%).
-
The fastest-growing
retail categories for AI adoption in the U.S. are electronics,
personal care and apparel and accessories.
Several other recent
consumer surveys also indicate widespread consumer use and acceptance of
AI shopping agents. A recent survey from marketing agency LDWW. Roughly
70% of respondents said they shop with AI today and plan to use it even
more in the future.
In addition, 68% of surveyed users of Zip Co. Ltd. digital financial
services reported using an AI shopping tool within the past three
months, while 65% of those respondents said they engage with AI at
least weekly.
And data from marketing technology provider Bloomreach reveals that more
than 75% of consumers have leveraged next-gen AI solutions to help
them shop in the last six months.

Melbourne VIC, Australia: Over 200 arrests as Operation Pulse wraps up
An alleged drug trafficker, two young males carrying hunting knives and
a pair of thieves stealing from a department store were among 200 people
arrested at shopping centres as part of a boosted safety effort during
the winter school holidays. Operation Pulse involves police and
Protective Services Officers (PSOs) patrolling Melbourne and Geelong’s
major shopping centres, including Eastland, in an effort to prevent
crime, detect any offences and improve safety. Operation Pulse Acting
Assistant Commissioner Matt Baynes said this was a peak time for our
shopping centres, so it was important that both retailers and shoppers
had a sense of safety and security. “Operation Pulse is already seeing a
bolstering of resources at shopping centres, and we will look to further
this during peak times such as school holidays and Black Friday sales
moving forward,” he said. Since the operation commenced in December
last year, more than 1600 people have been arrested, facing more than
3300 charges for crimes at shopping centres. 243 weapons have been
seized throughout the operation.

Shootings & Deaths
New York, NY: Suspect arrested in shooting in Bronx that killed 12-year-old
outside bodega
A suspect was arrested on Sunday in a shooting in the Bronx on Saturday in which
a 12-year-old boy was struck and killed by a stray bullet. Police Commissioner
Jessica Tisch said that NYPD detectives took 45-year-old William Ferrer into
custody outside of his home in the Bronx. Ferrer is facing several charges,
including Murder in the Second Degree, Tisch said. Earlier Sunday, police
released surveillance video showing a fight breaking out outside a bodega. The
video shows a group of men engaged in a fist fight in the street just before 5
p.m. on Saturday on the corner of Walton Ave. and Elliot Place in Mt. Eden
before one of them pulls out a gun and opens fire.

Houston, TX: Shoplifting Call Turns Deadly After Suspects Abandon SUV on Houston
Freeway
A shoplifting call is about as run-of-the-mill as police work gets, the kind of
thing that usually ends with a report number and a trip back to the store. But
outside an Old Navy in Houston's Galleria area, what started that ordinary
turned into something far more serious, and far more tragic, in a matter of
minutes. Police say the call came in around 9:15 at night, and officers quickly
got a description of the suspects' ride: a Chevy Tahoe, which is not exactly a
subtle getaway vehicle by anyone's standards. Officers located the SUV near
South Rice and West Park and attempted a traffic stop. Instead of pulling over,
the driver took off, and what began as a shoplifting case turned into a full
pursuit onto the Southwest Freeway. That's when things went from bad to worse.
As the chase approached the Interstate 45 interchange, the Tahoe was involved in
a minor crash. All four women inside the vehicle got out and ran, not to the
shoulder, but across active freeway lanes. Two of them were struck by oncoming
traffic while attempting to cross the southbound side. Both were pronounced dead
at the scene.

A shooting is something no one should ever have to experience, let alone at a
neighborhood mall. Unfortunately, many people had to experience it on Saturday
evening at the Deerbrook Mall in Humble. After hearing one family's story of
having to flee the mall while shopping, one Good Samaritan decided to step in
and help the family finish their shopping trip. The shooting was reported at
about 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
Police say three officers were already on-duty at the mall and were able to
quickly contain the situation. Officials confirmed a minor was shot and taken to
a hospital. That victim's condition remains unknown at this time. An adult
bystander was also hospitalized for minor injuries.

AP Leaders Can Smell "Corporate Speak" Faster Than
Shoplifters Spot Cameras.
Phrases like "leveraging synergistic
efficiencies" usually last about fifteen seconds before somebody says,
