Has Convergence Been Achieved In Security? Why Or Why Not?In today's interconnected world, the lines between physical and digital security are blurring. This means that threats can easily exploit vulnerabilities in both realms, potentially causing significant damage. That's why the convergence of cyber- and physical security systems is becoming increasingly important. It has already been a topic of discussion in the security market for more than a decade. To get a reality check, we asked this week’s Expert Panel Roundtable: Has convergence been achieved in security systems? Why or why not?

Top cybersecurity salaries shoot past $780k.Although well-compensated, cybersecurity roles are increasingly multifunctional, combining responsibilities for IAM, application security (AppSec), and product security. The top 10% of cybersecurity professionals in the US drew as much as $783,000 on average in 2023, according to according to a joint IANS and Artico Search study. Although well-compensated, cybersecurity roles are often multifunctional, and typical functional combinations within a role include IAM, application security (AppSec), and product security, the study noted. The study, which is based on responses from 563 security professionals from April 2023 to November 2023, primarily surveyed security analysts and security managers working in the finance, healthcare, and technology sectors. “The global cybersecurity talent shortage is a perennial issue. In the US alone, there are only enough qualified cybersecurity professionals to meet 72% of current demand — which is hovering near a ten-year low,” said William Candrick, director analyst, security and risk management, Gartner. “Unfortunately, labor market supply-and-demand issues in cybersecurity will not be solved anytime soon. As a result, cybersecurity leaders and professionals often wear multiple hats and work long hours.” The study also underlined gender diversity has improved across various security domains while the pay gap persists, and recognition and job perks help retention rates. Security roles are well-compensated. Cybersecurity directors, managers, architects, engineers, and analysts were all well compensated, with high quartiles (top 10%-25%) having annual salaries considerably higher than the median pay for their roles. “Top quartile total earnings across the various roles in the sample are considerably higher than the median pay,” the study added. “In many cases, the top 10% average is as much as three times the median total compensation, indicating a significant pay band within each of the roles.” For cybersecurity directors, the total annual compensation was $330,000 on average, with $250,000 being the cash compensation they received annually. The compensation was at $402,000 and $325,000 respectively for senior directors, who are more experienced, and those who have a larger span of control compared to directors. (csoonline.com)

Etsy is cracking down on coupon misuseEtsy sellers have long complained about shoppers abusing coupon codes. Now, Etsy is making a change that aims to crack down on the problem. Etsy plans to add expiration dates to “thank you” and “abandoned cart” coupons sometime in March, a spokesperson confirmed to Modern Retail. The marketplace is making the change to help its 7 million active sellers cut down on instances in which their coupon codes are reused or used by people who do not meet the coupons’ requirements. The move “will also help Etsy sellers have a clearer view on the usage and impact of their coupons so that they can make the most of their offers,” the spokesperson said via email. Etsy will reveal more information about the terms of the coupons in the coming weeks. For years, Etsy has offered two types of coupons. The first, called Etsy Coupons, are funded by Etsy and sent to certain buyers. These may include discounts like “10% off your next purchase.” The second, called Shop Coupons, are set up by individual sellers as part of their marketing campaigns. The two coupons Etsy is introducing changes to — the “thank you” and “abandoned cart” coupons — fall into the latter category. Etsy has traditionally used deals as a way to bring more customers onto the platform; last fall, it encouraged sellers to offer discounts earlier than ever for the holidays. modernretail.com

Las Vegas, NV: Rides along with Henderson Police on Retail Theft Blitz Operation.FOX5 was on the road exclusively with Henderson Police as they conducted a one-day retail theft blitz operation, targeting four stores. “Today we’re looking at Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart and TJ Maxx,” said Henderson Police Det. James McGeahy. “We have loss prevention inside, as well as a detective, so there’s one of two detectives assigned to each store, so they’re in the back with loss prevention monitoring the cameras.” Within two hours, we’d already seen four arrests. “So, they do have somebody in custody at Home Depot,” said Det. McGeahy during the blitz. The main focus of the blitz was on organized retail theft, where the thieves steal property, and then give it to another person called a “fence” who sells it. “They give them lists and whatnot, and they send them to different retailers, and they steal large amounts of products,” said Det. McGeahy. “Tools, electronics, clothing is huge.” Det. McGeahy says a few years ago, an organized group was stealing from targets throughout Nevada and California and selling those items from a home in the Las Vegas Valley. “We did a search warrant, and we recovered, I believe it was over $200,000 worth of property. It was two semi-truck loads full of property that we took from these houses,” said Det. McGeahy.

(A jab saw often has a 6-inch, jagged blade attached to a large grip.) “Both officers immediately attempted to de-escalate the situation, issuing multiple verbal commands in an effort to gain compliance,” Reed said. “A Taser was deployed and ineffective, and the suspect was running toward officers with the saw” when he was shot.
