Tyco Retail Solutions Shifts Brand to Become
Sensormatic Solutions
 Johnson Controls
today announced a complete rebranding of its Tyco Retail Solutions offerings to
Sensormatic Solutions.
As part of the new branding, Johnson Controls will stop using Tyco Retail
Solutions to describe the business portfolio, moving to Sensormatic Solutions as
the umbrella brand for its portfolio of loss prevention, inventory intelligence
and traffic insights solutions. The Sensormatic, TrueVUE and ShopperTrak brands
will be maintained to represent the company's three individual solution sets
under the Sensormatic Solutions retail umbrella. Tyco will continue to be the
leading security and fire products brand from Johnson Controls that customers
have come to rely upon.

U.K.'s Asda tries data analytics to counter shoplifting and ORC
Shoplifting is retail's eternal headache. According to NRF's National Retail
Security Survey, there were losses of nearly $47 billion in the United States
alone in 2017. It's a dilemma: The easier products are to access in stores and
the more seamless the checkout experience, the greater the conditions for theft.
 While putting high-value items like baby formula in locked cabinets may not be
convenient for consumers, some retailers choose that rather than see thefts
increase. Companies have tried countless methods to counter shoplifting -
increased and better trained security staff, hidden cameras, electronic article
surveillance - but these can only do so much. That's where big data comes into
play.
With nearly 650 locations, U.K. supermarket chain and Walmart subsidiary Asda
has tried to be at the forefront of loss prevention. In 2017 it worked with
Tyco Retail Solutions to roll out Tyco's Shrink Management as a Service
technology in its EAS systems.
"If you look at a traditional EAS system, merchandise is tagged with a sensor
that's removed at the purchase. If someone walks out the door with the sensor
attached, it sets off an alarm," says Sean Lee, U.K. retail director for Tyco
Retail Solutions. "With SMaaS there's a capability to collect data about these
alarm triggers, which allows a retailer to see trends and act accordingly."

NEW PODCAST: A Good 2018 and a Bright 2019 for Retail
Featuring Tony D'Onofrio, Global
Retail Influencer
Tony
D'Onofrio, CEO of TD Insights, says that retail had a very good year
in 2018, especially during the holiday season. He says the department
stores struggled through the holiday season, but the rest of retail did
extremely well. "2019 will be the year 73 million Millennials will
overtake the 72 million Baby Boomers, which was the largest generation,"
D'Onofrio says. "and I think that's a major opportunity for retailers going
forward."
D'Onofrio says that Millennials want experiences more personalized and
brands that understand their unique needs, and brands that take
advantage of that will succeed. He also says that connectivity with
smart phones is going to be more important going forward, especially
connecting them to physical stores to create unique personal experiences
and even eliminating cashiers. D'Onofrio also discusses the new
technologies in Nike's House of Innovation physical retail store and why
this model will appeal to millennials. Overall, he is bullish about the
future of retail, both because of the booming economy and because of the
disruptive innovations already working their creative destruction magic.

The global commercial security market is anticipated to experience a CAGR of 10%
from 2019 to 2023, reaching a size of $187 billion by 2023, as per the latest
report by Market Research Future.
Security concerns among large, mid, and small enterprises is the primary driver
of the commercial security market. Increasing adoption of technology-driven
solutions such as CCTV cameras and analytics are likely to bolster market demand
over the forecast period. High risk of theft and need to ensure safety to
employees are other factors which can play a major role in the market.
Access control systems are being installed in malls, shopping centers, and other
buildings to ensure the safety of employees. Detection and response approaches
integrated into company policies to tackle untoward incidents can offer an
opportunity for the commercial security market to expand successfully.

The Consumer's Role In Battling Fraud
"We even saw the 'going out of business' spike in counterfeit fraud that was
anticipated, where fraudsters tried to squeeze that last little bit of momentum
before the EMV shift occurred," Moorer said. "Then it died down and shifted to
CNP fraud, which today is becoming an increasingly large portion of all card
fraud."
And the problem, he added, is likely going to get worse before it gets better,
as more and more sensitive consumer data finds its way into the hands of bad
actors. Which means the future of fighting CNP fraud will depend on two things:
first, helping consumers become their own best data security advocates, and
second, introducing stronger, more context-specific fraud prevention tools.
The Consumer As A Frontline Against Fraud
 The bad guys, Moorer noted, have data - and lots of it. So much, in fact, that
stealing a card or a card number isn't even required to commit fraud at this
point.
"Today, a fraudster can apply for an account, get it automatically approved and
spend the entire credit line associated with it in less than two minutes -
before the issuer has even sent out a plastic card," he pointed out.
Or for the particularly precise, there's always
footprint fraud, where a cyber thief uses what they know about a customer's
spending habits to keep their fraudulent transactions within that pattern so as
not to set off any alarm bells.
And while there are a variety of technological tools designed to make those
fraud attempts more obvious - particularly modern rules engines and artificial
intelligence - perhaps one of the most overlooked tools in the battle against
fraud in a CNP world are the customers themselves. pymnts.com
Processing Chargebacks in a Card-less Society
New payment methods present plenty of opportunities for fraud. As it stands,
when a consumer initiates a dispute, the issuer and merchant don't actually work
together to determine the origin of the dispute, leaving each at a significant
disadvantage. But
data gives them an opportunity to prevent fraud and unnecessary
chargebacks, if critical merchant data can be shared between merchant and issuer.
For example, issuers can implement automated solutions which facilitate the
sharing of data, such as transactional data from a merchant's CRM system, or
push notifications to merchants to review and resolve disputes faster. And just
as machine learning and AI have given rise to new payment methods, so too can
they be used in authenticating payments, either through biometrics or
behavioural analytics.
But all this technology used to cope with a card-less society will be redundant
if the data derived from it cannot be shared with all stakeholders involved in
processing a payment to help determine whether the transaction is actual fraud
or friendly fraud.

Credit cards have become consumers preferred payment source
Americans love credit cards - particularly when shopping in stores. That's
according to a report from Mercator Advisory Group which found that, when
consumers were asked to choose their single most preferred payment type in
stores, 36% said they preferred credit cards, followed by debit cards (33%) and
cash (18%). Three percent said they preferred private-label revolving store
cards, and 2% preferred checks.
Debit cards, however, are often preferred for small purchases and everyday
in-store spending such as groceries.

Sears liquidation threat looms:
Retailer gets extra day to negotiate lifesaving deal
Sears Holdings, which owns Sears and Kmart, will give its chairman and largest
investor Eddie Lampert another day to come up with a feasible offer to keep a
shrunken version of the company alive, bankruptcy attorney Ray Schrock told a
federal judge Tuesday.
Without a deal, liquidation appears imminent. It could even proceed within
weeks. That would mean the two chains could soon join the graveyard of deceased
American retailers.
Still, the company's assets will be auctioned off Monday, January 14. If Lampert
hedge fund ESL Investments can't come up with a $120 million deposit and new
deal terms by 4 p.m. Wednesday, liquidators will probably prevail and the
company will likely go out of business.

Security Industry Trends To Be Led By Focus On Cyber Security In 2019
The Security Industry Association (SIA) looks forward to 2019, and it is
apparent that physical security is moving into its most formative years. Changes
presented by emerging technology, open systems and growing connectivity among
devices and sensors will make a big difference for manufacturers, systems
integrators/dealers and end users.
With a more open, connected environment comes cyber risk and data privacy
concerns - which is why, in SIA's 2019 Security Megatrends, cybersecurity's
impact on the physical security industry ranks number one on the list.
Cybersecurity is affecting all areas of the industry landscape, from security
implementation to attracting top talent to the workforce.
The digital transformation we are experiencing impacts many other parts of the
security industry as well, bringing opportunities like evolving identity
management and collecting and delivering big data to customers. At this critical
point in the industry's development, it is important to embrace change, leverage
disruptive technology in ways that give companies a competitive advantage.
This Year's Security Megatrends
1. Cybersecurity's Impact on Physical Security: It is important to
prioritise cybersecurity for your business, your customers' business and the
vendors with which you work. This trend calls for continual process improvement
and investment.
 2. Internet of Things (IoT) and the Big Data Effect: The security
industry makes use of IoT, analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and
more, and data is coming from everywhere. The industry now faces the challenge
of effectively managing and segmenting this information to be pertinent to the
user.
3. Cloud Computing: Cloud platforms and applications are becoming
prevalent across security solutions. This technology helps security integrators
provide managed services and the advantages of off-site systems and services to
customers.
4. Workforce Development: With historically low unemployment, finding
skilled employees is a challenge to the whole security industry. Security
stakeholders need talent with IT, cybersecurity, AI and even privacy expertise,
presenting a need to grow students' interest in the industry.
5. AI: Research firm Gartner predicts a new "democratisation of AI" that
will impact more organisations than ever before. Companies are now testing this
technology before offering it to customers and exploring how AI data can be used
to improve security threat assessment and response.

How Neiman Marcus Uses AI To Fight Fraudsters
As online shopping becomes the norm for the modern customer, more luxury
retailers are pairing their traditional brick-and-mortar stores - designed to
show off the height of luxury - with a just-as-luxurious online presence to
match. While this can provide luxury brands with a bump in sales, fraudsters are
taking full advantage to hit luxury retailers everywhere they can: online and
in-store.
That's why luxury retailers need to stay on their toes, according to Chief
Information Security Officer Shamoun Siddiqui and Director of Security
Architecture Kyle Ciborowski of Neiman Marcus. In a recent interview with
PYMNTS, Siddiqui and Ciborowski discussed the ways in which Neiman Marcus has
upgraded its security measures to keep fraudsters at bay, all while maintaining
a seamless customer experience - a feat that's grown increasingly difficult as
fraudsters start to use technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and
machine learning to bypass a retailer's defenses.
"Luxury retailers typically operate in a 'high-tough' environment, designed to
be as friction-free for the customer as possible," Siddiqui said. "Any measure
of security introduces friction. So, the challenge is to make security as
transparent as possible while still protecting the customer's personal
information."

The FBI is Trying Amazon's Facial-Recognition Software
3 Weeks of FBI Data Investigation Can Now Be Done in 24 Hours
The FBI is piloting Amazon's facial matching software - Amazon Rekognition - as
a means to sift through mountains of video surveillance footage the agency
routinely collects during investigations.
The pilot kicked off in early 2018 following a string of high-profile
counterterrorism investigations that tested the limits of the FBI's
technological capabilities, according to FBI officials.
For example, in the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas carried out by Stephen
Paddock, the law enforcement agency collected a petabyte worth of data, much of
it video from cellphones and surveillance cameras.
FBI Deputy Assistant Director for Counterterrorism Christine Halvorsen said
Amazon Rekognition could have gone through the same trove of data from the Las
Vegas shooting "in 24 hours" - or three weeks faster than it took human FBI
agents to find every instance of Paddock's face in the mountain of video.

The 7 Types of Ecommerce Fraud Schemes You Should
Know About
Receiving even one chargeback hurts. Below are the top seven fraud schemes to be
aware of to prevent the next fraud attack on your website:
1. Classic fraud.
This type of fraud is generally committed by unsophisticated fraudsters. Stolen
credit card credentials are purchased on the dark web, and goods are sent to
reshippers in an attempt to retrieve the stolen merchandise. Often, internet
proxies are used to mask the international IP where a majority of this type of
fraud originates.
2. Triangulation fraud.
An online storefront is created by the fraudster, often on eBay or Amazon, that
offers high-demand goods at extremely low prices. The store collects payment for
the goods it sells. The fraudster then uses other stolen credit card data and
the names collected in orders on his online storefront to purchase goods from a
legitimate website and ships them to the customers that purchased on his new
online storefront.
3. Interception fraud.
Fraudsters will create orders where the billing and shipping match the address
linked to the card. Their goal is to intercept the package in any of the
following ways:
● Asking a customer service rep to change the address on the order before
shipment.
● Contacting the shipper to reroute the package to an address where they can
retrieve the stolen goods.
● In cases where the fraudster lives in close proximity to the cardholder's
billing address, physically wait near the address for the delivery to arrive and
offer to sign for the package as the homeowner is not available.
4. Card testing fraud.
This is the practice of testing the validity of a credit card number, with plans
to use valid credentials at another website to commit fraud. Fraudsters target
websites that reveal a different response for each type of decline.
5. Account takeover fraud.
This occurs when fraudsters get hold of a legitimate customer's login
credentials and take advantage of stored credit cards to purchase goods. An
update on the shipping address will usually occur shortly before purchase so the
fraudster can retrieve the stolen goods.
6. Fraud via identity theft.
In this case, the fraudsters assumes another person's identity, creates credit
cards in the victim's name and goes on a shopping spree. This type of fraud is
increasing rapidly as the number and scope of data breaches increase. It is also
the most difficult to identify as the fraudsters behind identity theft are quite
sophisticated.
7. Friendly fraud, also called chargeback fraud.
An online shopper will make a purchase, then issue a chargeback, claiming their
card was stolen. The chargeback usually occurs after the goods are delivered.
This type of fraud is traditionally not carried out by hardcore criminals but
rather by consumers who are clearly aware of what they are doing. This type of
fraud is difficult to detect but can often be won via chargeback representing.

Being in a slump is an absolutely scary place where your brain does more damage
than your actions or lack thereof. More mental than anything else, a slump
happens to all of us, and getting out of it can look like the longest darkest
tunnel you've ever experienced. But remember there's always light at the end of
every tunnel and getting focused on that light is the key. And turning it always
begins with getting back to basics. Forcing yourself to find that focus and
using the basics to get out of the slump is the only way out. Lean on your
basics and trust you know them well enough that the old performance will start
showing itself, because once they do, you'll find yourself having fun and out of
that slump.
Just a Thought,
Gus
