How Retailers are Leveraging Video in the Fight against Shrink
 In
the UK, grocery chain Asda is already taking advantage of this
integration. Its alarm data is reported through Sensormatic Shrink Management
as a Service, uncovering insights about Organized Retail Crime (ORC).
According to Andrew Rees, Asda's senior manager for asset protection, "we wanted
to see if we could track a pattern of these organized crimes. We have an
intelligence centre in our department where we can look at closed-circuit
monitors of each store and see what's happening with each alarm."
Below are five ways that video technology from
Sensormatic Solutions
can help manage shrink, safeguard stores and improve customer experience.
1. Integrate Public View Monitors (PVMs) into your secure ecosystem.
2. Integrate video and alarms within a single management system.
3. Monitor social distancing to detect non-compliance.
4. Use Thermal Imaging for a safer shopping environment.
5. Monitor queues to improve customer experience.

26 Security Officers Murdered - 300+ Gun Incidents in First 90 Days of 2021
Three months into 2021, and the private security profession has been
struggling with having their employees murdered and critically injured. This
year has now seen 26 officers murdered on duty. All but three, have been
killed by gunfire.
There have been more than three hundred incidents involving firearms and
private security. A staggering figure when considering that many businesses
have been closed or operating on limited hours for over a year.
While violence against private security officers is nothing new, it is
increasing at a rate not seen in the seventeen years that Private Officer
International has begun collecting statistical data. Forty-six other security
officers and private police have died from the Coronavirus during these months
as well.
Three security officers have also died in vehicle accidents, three others died
from unknown causes, one officer drowned, and five security officers died on
duty because of a medical emergency.

Derek Chauvin trial: 911 dispatcher testifies
'Something was not right' during arrest that led to George Floyd's death
 Jena
Scurry detailed under questioning by prosecutor Matthew Frank how she was
troubled by seeing on wall-mounted dispatch screens how Floyd's arrest played
out on city surveillance cameras. The seven-year dispatch veteran said she
glanced up at the screens between taking other calls and saw a police squad
moving "back and forth" as officers dealt with Floyd, then moments later take
him to the pavement.
Multiple times she looked away and then back to see the same image of the
officers keeping Floyd on the pavement. "I first asked if the screens were
frozen," Scurry testified. "I was told that it was not frozen." It was then
that "something was not right. It was an extended period of time. ... It
was a gut instinct, now we can be concerned."

Salem, OR: No charges for man who drew gun at dueling Oregon protests;
four others arrested
 A
man who drew a gun during Sunday's dueling statehouse protests in Salem, Oregon,
was not arrested after complying with police officers. The incident was captured
in dramatic video, as Antifa protesters clashed with demonstrators taking
part in a "Freedom Rally."
The white-haired man got out of his American flag-adorned pickup truck to look
at the damage allegedly caused by Antifa protesters. That's when he was
attacked with pepper spray, by a mob that was surrounding him, police said.
He dropped his weapon at the orders of police, the video showed.

Current Mask Restrictions By State
Store Associates Frightened As Restrictions
Are Relaxed
As Mask Mandates Lift, Retail Workers Again Feel Vulnerable
"It's no different now than it was a year
ago," one Kroger employee said, as states like Texas and Mississippi end mask
requirements.
 Ms.
Reece's heightened anxiety is shared by retail and fast-food workers in
states like Mississippi and Texas, where governments have removed mask mandates
before a majority of people have been vaccinated and while troubling new
variants of the coronavirus are appearing. It feels like a return to the
early days of the pandemic, when businesses said customers must wear masks
but there was no legal requirement and numerous shoppers simply refused. Many
workers say that their stores do not enforce the requirement, and that if they
do approach customers, they risk verbal or physical altercations.
"It's given a great false sense of security, and it's no different now
than it was a year ago," said Ms. Reece, who is not yet able to receive a
vaccine because of allergies. "The only difference we have now is people are
getting vaccinated but enough people haven't gotten vaccinated that they should
have lifted the mandate."
For many people who work in retail, especially grocery stores and big-box
chains, the mask repeals are another example of how little protection and
appreciation they have received during the pandemic. While they were praised
as essential workers, that rarely translated into extra pay on top of their low
wages. Grocery employees were not initially given priority for vaccinations in
most states, even as health experts cautioned the public to limit time in
grocery stores because of the risk posed by new coronavirus variants. (Texas
opened availability to everyone 16 and older on Monday.)
The issue has gained serious prominence: On Monday, President Biden called on
governors and mayors to maintain or reinstate orders to wear masks as the
nation grapples with a potential rise in virus cases.

CDC Director is Scared of 'Impending Doom'
Biden calls on states to keep mask mandates, pause reopenings
President Biden on Monday urged state and local officials to reconsider
lifting their coronavirus restrictions and to reinstate mask mandates that have
lapsed as the U.S. faces an increase in cases.
 "I'm reiterating my call for every governor, mayor and local leader to maintain
and reinstate the mask mandate," Biden said at an event intended to highlight
the rapid increase in vaccine eligibility. "Please, this is not politics.
Reinstate the mandate if you let it down.
The director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier
Monday warned Americans
against letting their guard down against the virus, saying she felt a
sense of "impending doom" over rising coronavirus cases.
"I'm going to lose the script, and I'm going to reflect on the recurring
feeling I have of impending doom. We have so much to look forward to so much
promise and potential of where we are, and so much reason for hope. But right
now I'm scared," CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said during a White House
briefing Monday.
According to Walensky, the seven day average of new cases is around 60,000 cases
per day, a 10 percent increase over the past week.

America Braces for 4th Wave
New U.S. coronavirus cases rise by 12 percent
New coronavirus cases in the United States continued to rise in the past week,
jumping by as much as 12 percent nationwide, as senior officials implored
Americans to stick to public health measures to help reverse the trend.
The seven-day average of new cases topped 63,000 for the first time in nearly
a month, according to data compiled by The Washington Post, while states
such as Michigan, Vermont and North Dakota reported substantial spikes in
new infections. The nation appeared poised for a fourth wave of illness even
as vaccine eligibility is expanding in many states.

Pharmacy Vaccinations Will More Than Double by
Mid-April
Most Americans will be eligible for Covid vaccination by mid-April, Biden says
The federal government said it will expand
the number of pharmacies administering vaccinations from 17,000 to 40,000 by
mid-April.
 At
least 90 percent of adults in the U.S. will be eligible for Covid-19
vaccinations by April 19 as a string of states expand who can get the shots
and thousands of additional pharmacies start receiving doses, President Joe
Biden said Monday.
The federal government will expand the number of
pharmacies receiving shipments of the vaccines from 17,000 to 40,000 by
mid-April, he said. The White House estimates that as a result, 90
percent of adults in the U.S. will have vaccination sites within 5 miles of
their homes.
At least 31 states have announced that they will open vaccinations to all
adults in the coming days. New York said it would vaccinate anyone over age
30 starting Tuesday. Biden had previously directed states to make all adults
eligible by May 1 and said the remaining 10 percent of adults would still be
eligible by that date.

Tracking Employee Vaccinations?
Almost Half of Companies Say They Won't Track Employee Vaccination Status
A new Gartner study says 36% plan to have
employees self-report vaccination status but will not require proof.
While the jury is still out on whether or not companies will require
vaccinations, a recent study by Gartner found that nearly half (48%) of large
global organizations will not track the vaccination status of their employees.
The study, conducted with 227 HR leaders on March 16, found that only 8% of
survey respondents reported that they will require employees to show proof of
vaccination.
The same Gartner Workplace Reopening Amid Vaccine Rollout Webinar Poll also
showed that among 258 HR leaders, 45% expect their workplace to reopen in
3Q21, while nearly one-quarter (24%) are planning for their workplace to reopen
in 4Q21.

New COVID Vaccines Needed?
Mutations could render current Covid vaccines ineffective in a year or less,
epidemiologists warn
Mutations of the coronavirus could render current vaccines ineffective within
a year, according to a majority of epidemiologists, virologists and
infectious disease specialists surveyed by the People's Vaccine Alliance.
The survey of 77 experts from some of the world's leading academic
institutions across 28 countries found that almost a third gave a time
frame of nine months or less. Fewer than 1 in 8 said they believed that
mutations would never render the current vaccines ineffective.
Two-thirds thought that we had "a year or less before the virus mutates to
the extent that the majority of first-generation vaccines are rendered
ineffective and new or modified vaccines are required."

COVID Has Remade NYC
Remote Work Is Here to Stay. Manhattan May Never Be the Same.
New York City, long buoyed by the flow of
commuters into its towering office buildings, faces a cataclysmic challenge,
even when the pandemic ends.
 A
year after the coronavirus
sparked an extraordinary exodus of workers from office buildings,
what had seemed like a short-term inconvenience is now clearly becoming a
permanent and tectonic shift in how and where people work. Employers and
employees have both embraced the advantages of remote work, including lower
office costs and greater flexibility for employees, especially those with
families.
Beyond New York, some of the country's largest cities have yet to see a
substantial return of employees, even where there have been less stringent
government-imposed lockdowns, and some companies have announced that they are
not going to have all workers come back all the time.
In recent weeks, major corporations, including Ford in Michigan and
Target in Minnesota, have said they are giving up significant office
space because of their changing workplace practices, while Salesforce, whose
headquarters occupies the tallest building in San Francisco, said only a small
fraction of its employees will be in the office full time.
But no city in the United States, and perhaps the world, must reckon with
this transformation more than New York, and in particular Manhattan, an
island whose economy has been sustained, from the corner hot dog vendor to
Broadway theaters, by more than 1.6 million commuters every day.

Remote Work Due to COVID-19 Triggers Compliance Issues
Female Heads Of FCC, FTC, NTIA Talk Remote Work, COVID-19
The Disruptive Very Competitive Future of Grocery Retail
 By
Tony D'Onofrio, Global Retail Influencer &
Prosegur's CEO & Managing
Director, Global Retail Business
Throughout my retail career, I have closely followed the growth and progress of
the grocery sector. Partially this is the result of actually having worked in a
supermarket for 9+ years across many departments.
The importance of this retail segment is reinforced by Deloitte in their annual
'Global Powers of Retailing Report'. The
2020 edition found that fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) which
includes grocery, drug, mass merchants, and
 convenience
represents 66.5% of the total retail sales for the global top 250 retailers.
Also interesting from that research, this sector tends to least globalize
operations and recorded in 2020 the lowest composite net profit margin at 2% of
sales.
The pandemic has become a brutal accelerator of digital transformation trends
for all retail and grocery has not been immune from the disruption. Being
classified as an essential business was a tremendous advantage for food, drug,
convenience, and mass merchandise retailers. During the lockdowns, nearly
$300 billion in
wealth was transferred from general merchandise / hospitality to FMCG
retailers.

Chains with the Most Closures
Hundreds of Subway, Dunkin', and Burger King locations closed in 2020
No sector of the industry was safe. Closures affected fast food, fast
casual, casual, and fine dining. Subway closed more stores than any other
large chain examined by Dataessential, closing out the period with 1,557
fewer stores, a 6.6% loss. Dunkin' lost a net 559 stores, the report
said.
Even fast food staples were hit by the pandemic. Burger King closed 319
locations, while McDonald's closed 173. However, that only amounts to a 1.2%
loss for McDonald's, which still has well over 13,000 locations. Baskin
Robbin's, Hardees, and Steak N Shake each closed restaurants, while Little
Caesar's bucked the positive trend for pizza chains this year, closing 120
locations.
Some restaurants did manage to open new locations. Domino's came out on top,
opening 358 new stores. This isn't necessarily surprising: pizza and wings
were hailed as early winners in the pandemic as Americans increasingly ordered
from brands that were already set up to accommodate delivery, like Papa John's
and Wingstop.

Huawei Accuses U.S. of Breaking the Law
Huawei CFO Claims US Extradition Bid Violates International Law
The United States' extradition bid for Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou was made
in violation of international law and Canadian cooperation with the request puts
it at risk of breaking international law as well, the tech executive's defense
team claimed Monday in Canada's British Columbia Supreme Court.
In the third week of scheduled abuse of process arguments in Vancouver,
international law expert Gib van Ert, a newcomer on Meng's team, told Associate
Chief Justice Heather Holmes the U.S. is violating international law by
wrongfully extending its criminal laws to a foreign person's alleged conduct
in a foreign country against a foreign bank.
The U.S. claims Meng defrauded HSBC Bank by allegedly misrepresenting
Huawei's relationship to an Iranian subsidiary that was reported to be in
violation of American sanctions on telecom equipment sales in Iran. Meng
alleged to have given a PowerPoint presentation in August 2013 to an unnamed
bank executive, the flashpoint at the heart of the American case against her.

$20 Million Malware Loss
Office Depot parent expects over $20M loss due to malware attack
 The
ODP Corporation, parent company of Office Depot and CompuCom, on Friday
provided an update regarding a malware incident affecting CompuCom on March 1.
The company expects that the breach will cost it $20 million in expenses, $10
million of which will be accrued during the first quarter of this year. It
also anticipates a loss of revenue between $5 million and $8 million because
it had to halt services to customers affected by the breach, according to a
press release.
The executive team won't talk about the data breach or give more details on its
financial performance until its first-quarter earnings call, which will likely
take place on May 5, per the company statement.
The ODP Corporation breach comes as the company seeks to sell off assets and
attract small business clients.

3 Million Cybersecurity Jobs Unfilled
Cloud security experts wanted: You can be one of them
A recent study from Boston Consulting Group and analytics firm Faethm has
attempted to predict how digitization and technology will upend labor markets
in Australia, Germany, and the United States in the next decade, and has
concluded that labor shortfalls will be considerable.
"In all three countries, the professions with the biggest looming shortfalls are
computer-related occupations and jobs in science, technology, engineering, and
math," the analysts noted.
And while last year, for the first time in several years, the cybersecurity
workforce gap has been reduced, the global shortage of cybersecurity
professionals is still massive: over three million
positions remain unfilled because there's no knowledgeable individuals
fit to fill them.
Cloud computing security is far and away the most in-demand skillset,
(ISC) found, with 40% of respondents saying that they plan to develop it over
the next two years.
It's easy to understand why: with enterprise IT infrastructure, applications and
data increasingly being moved to the cloud, IT security must move to the cloud
as well. Since cloud security has its own specific body of knowledge, those who
are able to acquire it (and upgrade it as time passes), can practically count on
a stable and well-paying career.

'Far From Out of the Woods'
Microsoft: Exchange Ransomware Activity 'Limited' So Far
Microsoft says ransomware activity against compromised on-premises Exchange
servers remains limited, but it warns that organizations are far from out of the
woods.
Organizations that have patched the four flaws in Exchange must also
undertake remediation actions to ensure that webshells or other backdoors
haven't been left behind, Microsoft advised in a Thursday update.
&uuid=(email)) Attackers
are harvesting credentials for possible use later, so even if organizations
have patched their servers, long-term risks of compromise remain, the company
adds. Those risks include ransomware attacks, cryptominer infiltrations or
attackers moving laterally into organizations' networks.
"Many of the compromised systems have not yet received a secondary action, such
as human-operated ransomware attacks or data exfiltration, indicating attackers
could be establishing and keeping their access for potential later actions,"
Microsoft's 365 Defender Threat Intelligence Team writes in a blog post. That
means organizations need to ensure all backdoors are removed.
On Thursday, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency released two new
malware analysis reports describing variations of the China Chopper webshell
observed in compromised Exchange servers.
Microsoft predicts that the systems that still have backdoors will "become
part of the complex cybercriminal economy where additional ransomware operators
and affiliates take advantage of it."

New Tool to Detect Attacks
CISA Builds Out Defensive Tools for Security Teams
Need a tool to hunt for attacks in your
network? The DHS agency bolsters the offerings in its open source toolbox.
 The
US Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency (CISA) continues to grow its portfolio of open source
security tools and administration scripts in its open source library online.
In the latest software drop, the agency released a tool - the CISA Hunt and
Incident Response Program (CHIRP) - that aids in the collection of forensic
evidence and indicators of compromise (IoC) from on-premise systems. The program
initially can detect known IoCs associated with the SolarWinds Orion
compromise discovered in December 2020. The release of the tool comes three
months after the agency released a similar tool, Sparrow, for collecting
forensics data from cloud systems.
While many organizations have the resources to create and maintain their own set
of internal tools and scripts, the CISA tools could satisfy a demand from
smaller companies and security teams that want to verify they have not missed a
compromise, says Tim Conway, curriculum lead for industrial control systems
at the SANS Institute.
"Where these tools can be helpful is for those organizations that do not have
access to in-house resources or commercial tools and would spend quite a bit of
money on consultants or products that they did not budget for," he says.

Union Opposition from Amazon Workers
2 Amazon workers reveal why they voted against unionizing their Alabama
warehouse
 "Because
when it comes to collective bargaining, what do you think the first thing
Amazon's going to start pulling is?" she said to Insider. "All this free time
off and our benefits." Thomas Eady, a former coal miner who has worked in
unionized industries before, also voted no.
He said in messages to Insider that he used to be "a huge pro-union person,"
but that his time working for unions made him believe that his work ethic
didn't matter and that unions would value seniority over everything.
Eady said he didn't believe unions could adequately protect against termination.
"They can only act like a middle man," he said.
In the past, Eady worked for a foundry union and a coal mine union. He said he
saw unions as "just collecting money and overpaying themselves." He works
as a stower at Amazon, the same role as Jennings. Eady said that, in terms of
union activity in Bessemer, he felt like more union members from other towns and
industries came to pro-union rallies and events than actual employees working in
Bessemer.

Amazon is launching on-site Covid-19 vaccinations at some warehouses
Some Amazon warehouse workers will soon be able to get vaccinated against
Covid-19 at their workplace.
Amazon announced Thursday that it's setting up on-site vaccination clinics at
fulfillment centers in Missouri, followed by Nevada and Kansas in the coming
weeks. At the clinics, which are expected to run for about five days, vaccines
will be administered to employees by licensed health-care providers.
The company said it expects to launch vaccination clinics at additional
warehouses across the country as more vaccine supply becomes available to
front-line employees in other states.
It comes as the U.S. continues to pick up the pace of vaccinations, with the
nation administering more than 2.5 million shots per day. Companies with
essential workers, including Amazon, have been vying to give their workers
priority access to the shots.
Earlier this month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued
guidance that employers with a large workforce can begin setting up Covid-19
vaccine clinics on site. Agriculture giant Cargill, Tyson Foods and some
automakers and manufacturers in Detroit are among a growing list of
employers that have launched on-site clinics at some of their facilities.

Salt Lake City, UT: 2 men charged in $70,000 Jewelry store robbery
Two men accused of stealing an estimated $70,000 in jewelry on Halloween 2019
have now been charged. Jerome Welton McWilliams, 29, and Darnel Batts, 33, were
charged Friday in 3rd District Court with aggravated robbery, a first-degree
felony. On Oct. 31, 2019, McWilliams and Batts entered Stroud Jewelry, and acted
as if they were interested in purchasing several pieces of jewelry. While
looking at rings, McWilliams instructed Batts "to go out to the car to get a bag
that contained '20 G's' because he was going to buy his girlfriend some rings,"
the charges state.
When Batts returned with a duffel bag, McWilliams grabbed the owner who was
helping the men and pushed him against a wall. "McWilliams instructed (him) to
open all the display cases so they could take everything," the charges state.
McWilliams then pulled a handgun out of his waistband and pointed it at the
owner's face, the charges state. After taking an estimated $70,000 worth of
jewelry, the men drove off in a Dodge Charger. Police processing the crime scene
found a Salt Lake City International Airport garage parking ticket and a King's
Custom Jewelers business card. Detectives learned that one of the suspects had
been in King's Custom Jewelers a week before.
Salt Lake Police released surveillance photos of the men after the robbery. A

Minneapolis, MN: Security Guard shoots and kills Customer, flight began inside a
C-store over a Face Mask
A confrontation between two strangers led to a fatal shooting at a Minneapolis
convenience store last week, according to a criminal complaint. Chaz E.
Stubblefield, 33, of Minneapolis, was charged Friday in Hennepin County District
Court with second-degree intentional murder in connection with Wednesday's
shooting of 46-year-old Ryan K. Decker, of St. Cloud, outside the Stop N Shop.
A woman said Decker was in town to help her move, and they stopped at the store
shortly before midnight so he could get a beverage, but he decided to leave
because the security guard was being rude. Video surveillance revealed that
the Security Guard told Decker that he needed to wear a mask to remain inside.
On his way out, Decker brushed Stubblefield, who then punched Decker in the
back, followed him outside and accused him of uttering a racial epithet. Decker
denied the accusation. Stubblefield then spit in Decker's face and shot him.
Under questioning by police, Stubblefield acknowledged shooting Decker. He
said he told Decker "you can say excuse me" after the physical contact was made,
and Decker responded with a profanity-laced racial epithet.

Philadelphia, PA: Philadelphia Mills Mall shooting leaves one dead
 Hundreds
of people were inside the Philadelphia Mills mall Monday evening when shots were
fired in the food court. Police said a 21-year-old man was shot multiple times
in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene. It happened around 5 p.m.
near the mall's orange entrance. Action News obtained the dispatch calls that
were recorded just moments after the shooting. "Near the food court...reports of
gunshots from inside...someone possibly shooting in that mall...a person with a
gun," dispatch said. Police say it all began with a fistfight between a large
group of people inside the former Franklin Mills mall.
Part of the fight can be seen in security video from a food court shop that was
posted on Instagram; workers clear out as people begin to run away from the
fight. "At some point or another, an individual pulled out a weapon, fired at
least five rounds into our decedent," said Sgt. Eric Gripp with the Philadelphia
Police Department.

Social media can be a fantastic platform for every company and executive, but it
can also be a nightmare. Mixing personal with professional oftentimes sends the
wrong messages and can absolutely destroy the image a professional needs to
maintain in the public arena. Maintaining boundaries and separating the two can
oftentimes be difficult to accomplish as corporate America searches for every
piece of information they can find on executives and companies. And regardless
of what anyone says, your professional image should always take precedence over
your personal image in the social media world.
Just a Thought,
Gus
