 Are Conferences Still
Relevant? The Expo Side
Part Two of Three
By Amber Bradley
Part One of this series revealed that loss prevention professionals must be
intentional about what conferences they choose to attend. Most of these
decisions must be based on relevance of content to everyday challenges: Which
content addresses your specific challenges the best? If you're a retail
executive, the Retail Industry Leaders Association's (RILA) Asset Protection
conference should be on your calendar. The content has been stacked on day one,
and day two was no exception.
Tuesday's keynote brought us, "Navigating Disruption in Retail," presented by
Frank Hamlin, the Chief Marketing Officer of GameStop. Hamlin provided
perspective on how transformational change in business is no longer an option
and how retailers must change to survive. Hamlin offered examples of how
GameStop is also innovating its own business model to adapt to today's
experience-oriented shopper.
There were
other sessions throughout the day that bolstered the conference's content
even further. However, this Part 2 is called, "The EXPO side" for a reason.
Let's look at the relevancy of conferences from the exhibitors' and attendees'
perspective. Who hasn't heard at least once, "Why should I attend conferences?
The solutions providers will just come see me." RILA underscores the inherent
flaw with that perspective. By bringing together the industry's best and
brightest solutions providers, RILA provides an atmosphere of learning, value
and comparison in a quick three-day perusal. How much value does that time
savings provide?

Active Shooter Threat Top of Mind for Corporate America, Survey Finds
21 of top 27 company threat categories
carried out by insiders
Active shooters are now the leading physical security threat concerning
corporate America, according to a new survey released by Securitas Security
Services USA.
Notably, the threat from active shooters was first identified as a viable
concern among security directors in Securitas' 2016 survey. Previously, it was
not considered a top threat by survey respondents from any industry.
Entitled
Top Security Threats (TST),
the survey also revealed that of the 27 threat categories security executives
consider to be a concern, 21 may be caused or carried out by company insiders.
Securitas' biennial TST report reflects the feedback from C-level directors and
security managers from Fortune 1,000 companies and organizations responsible for
the safety and security of people, property and assets.
The top three physical security threats as identified in the
survey are:
1. Active shooter or active assault/assailant threats
2. Workplace violence prevention/responses
3. Business continuity planning/organizational resilience
"While cybersecurity remains a top concern, there are threats to the safety of
people and the security of buildings, equipment and other property that may
cause considerable, long-lasting harm to an organization, affecting everything
from productivity to business continuity," says Securitas USA COO William
Barthelemy. "The reality is these threats can come from insiders, people
typically not thought to be a primary threat."

Physical and Cyber Convergence-At Last?
We have been hearing about the "convergence" of physical and cyber security for
years, but even today there are still debates about whether it has happened yet
(spoiler alert: it hasn't). Part of the challenge might be that the word
convergence itself can apply to more than one kind of activity - for example,
some believe it applies to the linkages or integration of IT and security
systems, while others believe it applies to IT and security organizational
structures and teams.
Based on our experiences with some of the world's leading companies and a wide
range of security system users in a variety of industries, we can say
categorically that convergence is accelerating, but with severe challenges
brought about by the nature of cyber threats. Physical security technology silos
are rapidly being connected and integrated with corporate IT, not only for the
transport of video data, but also to improve the management of video and access
control systems themselves. Convergence on cyber issues is also happening, but
more slowly than for physical security systems because there are significant
differences in cyber-security and cyber-hygiene for physical security systems
versus traditional computer and consumer device security.
Organizational solutions, such as how to integrate physical and cyber security
procedures, or the optimal security team design, will continue to evolve over
time as the threats and the nature of the workforce changes. securitymagazine.com
Editor's Note: Obviously this article is talking about industry as a
whole and not the specialized nature of retail and the unique challenges
retailers face. However the process and evolution is indeed the same and will
ultimately mold itself accordingly with both groups learning the exceptions of
the other that are actually focused on the same objective. Reducing risk and
preventing/apprehending the bad actor.
It may be the territorial natures' of our two independent functions that delays
and impacts it's evolution.
Just a thought.
Finding the Dirt on the CEO's of America
The Ruthless, Secretive, and Sometimes Seedy
World of Hedge Fund Private Investigators
"We're not trying to find the chairman [with] hookers....(Editor's
Note: Yes they are) This is not a revenge business. I'm trying to figure
out what's going on."
It was January 26, 2017. The two sleuths, employed by Berkeley Research Group,
were knocking on the doors of neighbors of Klaus Kleinfeld, Arconic's then-CEO,
in suburban Westchester County, New York. Claiming to be working for investors
considering doing a deal with Kleinfeld, the men asked if the CEO was known to
have loud parties. Later that evening, they were seen at Rye Grill & Bar, a
local restaurant.
In the political world, in 2015 a Singer-financed publication was the first to
hire investigative firm Fusion GPS in what ultimately resulted in the infamous
Steele dossier on President Donald Trump.
"The use of private investigators is par for the course in proxy contests,"
"They're just like political campaigns with their opposition research."
The shadowy world of private investigative services, populated by ex-cops,
former lawyers and prosecutors, former investigative journalists, and onetime
spies from the CIA, Mossad, and MI5. It isn't just activist investors and their
corporate prey who are hiring them, either. Long-short firms - notably short
sellers - and private equity firms are also big clients, as are their
investors.
Seasoned professionals acknowledge off the record what they won't acknowledge
on: The field is awash in unscrupulous characters who stretch the outer
bounds of legality and morality, individuals willing to secretly record
targets, pay off sources, hack, and steal, all covered by what one due diligence
researcher calls an attitude of "don't ask, don't tell, and finding
murderers, thieves, second family's, children out of wedlock and just about
everything you can imagine on CEO's, board nominees, and other C level
executives, before major investors make their investments or nominate board
members.
Lawyers who have hired private investigators say some investigators go as
high as $750 per hour.
Firms like these keep a low profile, with little to no social media
presence. While the work product of a number of firms occasionally makes its way
into the media as part of a short seller campaign or proxy battle - typically
without any fingerprints linking the information to the hedge fund or the
investigator - many are reluctant to talk about their process.
Editor's Note: And it happens in retail all the time with the amount
of investors, private equity groups, mergers and acquisitions that happen all
year long and we never hear the results.

Securitas Security Services USA sued in Las Vegas
over 2 deaths involving guard
One lawsuit stems from the previously unreported death of Jonathan Blackstone on
Feb. 10, 2018. The 36-year-old died after a group of security guards tackled
him in front of Showcase Mall on the Strip, after acting erratically in two
stores, grabbing two employees by the arms in a Ross store and making
"peculiar comments, "then sat on him and restricted his airway, the complaint
alleges. Blackstone, who had schizophrenia, was "acting erratically" when the
guards took action, according to attorneys representing the man's sister. His
schizophrenia was listed as a contributing factor, the coroner's office said,
along with cocaine and methamphetamine intoxication and obesity.
Because of "insufficient evidence," the Clark County DA's office declined to
prosecute.
The other lawsuit against Securitas stems from the
January 2017 death of Kimberlee Ann Kincaid-Hill. The 57-year-old was
working at a Henderson jewelry store when a security guard opened fire on an
attempted robber, who got away empty handed, but missed, instead striking
Kincaid-Hill in the chest.
Henderson police described the shooting as an accident and did not seek
charges.
Todd Moody, an attorney who represents the Kincaid-Hill estate said, "There is
absolutely no allegation at all that this was intentional. It was a sad
accident. But what we're focused on is did Securitas properly train him, had
he carried a gun, was he familiar with the gun he used when he shot her."
Lyons is still a licensed security guard, and state records still list him as a
Securitas employee. But he is no longer qualified to carry a firearm, his
firearm certification lapsed and he did not requalify.

CBD Is Wildly Popular
Disputes Over Its Legality Are a Growing Source of Tension
Most states, though, have yet to change their laws to match the new federal
rules, leaving local police and prosecutors in a quandary over what is legal and
what is not. The result has been a gold rush of CBD marketers, a raft of
online ruminations about what is permissible, and, increasingly, confusion.
For instance, when farmers in Oregon and Kentucky, which produce large amounts
of hemp, send their product through Oklahoma and Idaho, truck drivers are
sometimes
arrested by state and local police for drug trafficking.
The Food and Drug Administration has scheduled a
public hearing this month on the safety, sale and use of products containing
cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds, including CBD.

Verizon's 2019 Data Breach Investigations Report
Financially Motivated Attacks Increasing While Criminals Switch to Easiest
Targets
The Verizon 2019 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) was published just
after midnight today. This is the 12th edition since its launch in 2008, and the
most extensive to date, with 73 contributors and an analysis of 41,686 security
incidents including 2,013 confirmed breaches. A breach is defined as an incident
that results in the confirmed disclosure or exposure of data.
According to
Verizon's Insider Threat Report, 20% of cybersecurity incidents and 15% of
the data breaches investigated within the Verizon 2018 DBIR originated from
people within the organization. A
survey, targeting manufacturing industry, found that 72% of respondents were
vulnerable to insider threats.
Purely from its detail and breadth of coverage, DBIR has become the breach bible
for the security industry. Verizon does not speculate on the meaning of the data
it provides, leaving that to independent security analysts. Like all surveys, it
can only analyze and catalog the data it receives -- it knows nothing about that
which it knows nothing. As a result, DBIR provides evidence of security trends
across the greater part of industry, but little in terms of specific causes for
specific trends.
An example of this can be seen in the relative trends for cyber espionage and
financially motivated attacks (of which ransomware is probably the most visible
and newsworthy example). The trend highlighted by the 2019 DBIR (PDF)
is that financially motivated cyber-attacks are increasing across the board.

FTC Chairman Says Agency Isn't Ready to Enforce a
Federal Privacy Law
It'll Take Two Years to Get Staffed Up
Joseph Simons, chairman of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, said last week
that his agency has only 40 staff members involved in privacy enforcement. It
might take the agency as long as two years to hire more staff, create a new
division and acquire the technology necessary to enforce a federal privacy law,
he said.
"If [Congress] passed the legislation tomorrow, we wouldn't be prepared," Mr.
Simons said Thursday at an International Association of Privacy Professionals
summit in Washington. Legislators have told him they are getting close to
passing such a bill, he said. Several senators said in a February congressional
hearing that the FTC, as the lead consumer-protection agency, should be in
charge of enforcing federal privacy legislation.
Still under debate is whether any federal law would pre-empt state laws, such as
California's Consumer Privacy Act, which goes into effect January 2020.
The U.K.'s privacy regulator has 637 full-time staff members, while
France's privacy authority has 199 and the Dutch data-protection authority has
178, WSJ Pro Cybersecurity reported in April. All three countries are
significantly smaller than the U.S.
Intel proposed a
draft federal privacy bill in November that called for hiring, at
minimum, 500 more attorneys and support staff at the FTC. cmail19.com
Orgs Are Quicker to Disclose Breaches Reported to
Them Via External Sources
A security vendor's analysis of breach data from first-quarter 2019 suggests an
organization that discovers a security breach on its own is actually likely to
take longer to disclose it than an organization alerted to a breach via an
external source.
Risk Based Security found that when organizations first learned of a breach from
an external source such as law enforcement, they publicly reported the incident
within 43 days, on average. In contrast, when organizations discovered a breach
via an internal team, they took a much longer 74 days on average to report it.
Half of all externally discovered incidents were reported in just eight days
compared with a median of 46 days for internal discovery.

The Dark Web is Smaller Than You Think
The big, scary Dark Web may not be as big or scary as many believe.
Over the years, the Dark Web has garnered a reputation as a nebulous platform
for cybercrime. Highly publicized arrests and news stories have fueled the idea
there is a massive network of cybercriminals plotting scams in this corner of
the Web. But the actual amount of live, reachable onion sites makes up less than
0.005% of about 200 million surface Web domains.
It's worth noting the Dark Web is defined as any Internet content that requires
specific software, configurations, or authorization to access. Oftentimes it's
conflated with the Deep Web, which refers to all parts of the Web not indexed by
search engines. The Dark Web includes the Tor network, which consists of onion
domains and direct links between them.

Hackers Swipe More Than $40 Million of Bitcoin
From Cryptocurrency Exchange Binance
Hackers used phishing, viruses and other techniques, the company said. Binance
said they had obtained information about multiple users, including two-factor
authentication codes.
"The hackers had the patience to wait, and execute well-orchestrated actions
through multiple seemingly independent accounts at the most opportune time,"
Binance said. "The transaction is structured in a way that [it] passed our
existing security checks. It was unfortunate that we were not able to block this
withdrawal before it was executed."
Hacks were a primary reason for bitcoin's steep fall last year following its
manic rally in 2017. While bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market value,
is up more than 50% so far this year, it remains down by about 70% from its
record high in December 2017.

Half of companies have 1,000+ sensitive files accessible to every
employee
Nearly a year after GDPR was enacted, the average company has more than half a
million sensitive files stored -- 17% of which are accessible to every employee,
according to a new report.
The report examined more than 700 data risk assessments performed by Varonis
engineers to determine the prevalence and severity of exposed sensitive files.
More than half of companies found more than 1,000 sensitive files accessible to
every employee. Some 22% of all folders were open to everyone in the company,
and 51% of companies found more than 100,000 folders open to every employee.
Businesses store millions of files in folders and sites in both the cloud and
on-premise, the report noted. However, because many of these folders and sites
aren't properly secured, the sensitive files inside are left open to view by
many employees. That means it would only take one employee being compromised
to lead to a data breach, the report noted.

Alberta judge rules mandatory four-year minimum sentence for robbery with
firearm unconstitutional, calls prison term 'grossly disproportionate'
Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Debra Yungwirth said the mandatory imprisonment
term under the Criminal Code could violate section 12 of the Charter in certain
cases, which protects a person’s right to not be subjected to “any cruel and
unusual treatment or punishment.”
“There are reasonably foreseeable offenders for whom the four-year mandatory
minimum sentence … would be grossly disproportionate,” Yungwirth said in her
written decision released Friday. “As there have been no submissions by the
Crown on whether that provision is saved by section 1 of the Charter, I
conclude that the mandatory minimum sentence … is unconstitutional. It is
not saved under section 1 of the Charter, and is therefore of no force or
effect.”
Yungwirth made the constitutionality ruling during a sentencing decision for
a man who pleaded guilty to robbery with a firearm. Curtis Zwozdesky filed
an application prior to the sentencing to argue the mandatory sentence violates
his rights under the Charter.
There is a two-part test set by the Supreme Court of Canada to analyze the
constitutionality of a mandatory minimum sentence, Yungwirth said in her
decision delivered in court April 8. It is the second step, looking into
applying the mandatory minimum to other offenders in “reasonably foreseeable
circumstances,” where Yungwirth found a breach of rights.
After considering all the circumstances in the case, Yungwirth determined a
reasonable sentence of three to four years for the robbery with a firearm.

Some cities in British Columbia are a 'hotbed' for fraud & white-collar crime;
Higher percentage of small businesses could make it a better target for
criminals
In
2017, there were more than 1,200 incidents of fraud in the Okanagan. The
region often associated with wineries and beautiful scenery is also a hotbed for
white-collar crime. According to the latest numbers from Statistics Canada, in
2017, the rate of fraud in some Okanagan cities was nearly double the
national average. The average fraud rate for most regions of Canada is about
300 incidents per 100,000 people, but in Penticton the rate is 461, in Kelowna
592, and in Vernon 706 incidents per 100,000 people.
Glen Jackson, a chartered professional accountant with a certification in
financial forensics, thinks the high rate of fraud is a reflection of the
economy in the Okanagan, where there is a higher percentage of small businesses,
which he said may be more susceptible to fraud.

Amazon can already ship to 72% of US population
within a day, this map shows
Amazon is already capable of offering same-day and next-day delivery to 72% of
the total U.S. population, including almost all of the households (95% or more)
in 16 of the wealthiest and most populated states and Washington, D.C.,
according to a report published in March by RBC Capital Markets.
The vast delivery network is the result of significant investments over the past
four years, a period during which Amazon built out fulfillment centers across
the country, nearly tripling its U.S. logistics infrastructure, RBC said. Amazon
has added roughly double the amount of distribution space Home Depot currently
owns.

Polk County, FL: Retail theft suspects stole over
$2 million in products across Florida; product shipped to Cuba
Six people have been arrested and accused of orchestrating a retail theft scheme
across 14 Florida counties, stealing over $2 million worth of goods. The
suspects were arrested following an undercover investigation among state and
local agencies in Florida. Detectives said the individuals targeted the
following stores: Burlington Coat Factory, CVS, JCPenney, Publix, Walgreens and
Winn-Dixie. Officials said the six suspects hit up to 10 businesses per day,
between four and five nights a week. There were 150 reported thefts in the
state, and at least 25 of those occurred in Polk County. The Polk County
Sheriff’s Office reported between $150,000 and $200,000 worth of goods were
stolen.
The stolen items were then sold, and even shipped as far as Cuba for a profit,

One of your primary objectives in any negotiation should be to show a positive,
upbeat and an enthusiastic approach to the entire process regardless of the
offer. Always wait for the details before accepting any offer because the devil
may be in the details. Remember, the hardest thing to negotiate is the benefits
because of precedent-setting company standards. If you prepared the employer
before the offer with a written (emailed) list of your entire current package in
detail, it can make it easier to discuss when it counts the most.
Just a Thought,
Gus
