2018 Security Leadership Issue: The Rising Role
of Women in Security
In the historically male-oriented security field, many women are successfully
advancing to leadership roles.
One was inspired by her FBI agent father, another started in customer service
and another wanted to be a doctor. Whatever path they took, and how they got
there, today, they are all successful
women in the security industry, with titles such as Vice President, CSO,
Director of Global Security and more.
A historical look at the physical and IT security industry shows a perception
that industry professionals are predominately male and former military or law
enforcement. In addition, Frost & Sullivan's "Women in Security" study reveals
that women represent only 10 percent of the security workforce. Women have some
attributes that are clearly stronger than men in certain areas, and have much to
offer in security leadership positions.
What are the challenges and barriers that women face with a career in security,
how are they mentoring male and female executives, and what can be done at the
college and K-12 levels to garner interest and a career in the security
industry?
Editor's Note: While the nine executives focused on in this article
are non-retailers, their paths, stories, and advice apply across industry
boundaries and are very similar to their counterparts in retail.

Family-owned Dunbar Armored's sale to Brink's for
$520M stuns industry
Deal is the latest target for Brink's, making it No. 1 player in
cash-management industry
Brink's said it sought a deal with Dunbar, the nation's fourth-largest
cash-management firm, because of its "complementary focus on small- to
medium-size retailers and financial institutions."
Dunbar is the latest target for Brink's, which has sought to grow its global
reach through acquisitions in recent years. It bought six businesses, located in
five countries, for about $365 million last year. Earlier this year, it reached
a deal to buy Brazil's Rodoban for $145 million.
Brink's, based in Coppell, Texas, operates in 41 different countries.

Security and Police Officer Deaths Spike In 2018
The month of May ended on a violent note for the security industry just as the
year continues speeding toward one of the deadliest for front-line protectors.
 As
of today, 41 security officers have been killed just doing their job. That's a
31% increase over this time last year.
As of June 1st, 26 security officers have died from gunshots and four from knife
attacks. Law enforcement too has seen a rise in the number of officers killed so
far in 2018.
Currently, 65 police officers have lost their life with 28 being shot to death
and 6 others dyeing from felonious assaults.
In 2017, 46 officers total died of gunfire while 16 others were killed during
violent attacks. There were also 140 suicides of police officers in 2017.
For the security industry, it should be a rude awakening as to the potential
dangers of any contract, assignment or geographical location. privateofficer.com
Fewer Workers Test Positive for Prescription
Opioid Use
Positive marijuana tests are up in states where the drug has been legalized
Based on an analysis of over 10 million drug tests conducted in 2017, Quest
determined that 5 percent of the general workforce tested positive for drugs.
The same as 2016 but a far cry from Quest's first drug-testing analysis in 1988,
when the drug positivity rate was 13.6 percent.
The 2017 data also suggest shifting patterns of drug use, with cocaine and
amphetamines positivity surging in some areas of the country and marijuana
positivity rising sharply in states with recreational-use laws.
Rates of decline appear to have bottomed out, said Barry Sample, senior director
of science and technology at Quest Diagnostics. "These changing patterns and
geographical variations may challenge the ability of employers to anticipate the
drug of choice for their workforce or where to best focus their drug prevention
efforts to ensure a safe and healthy work environment," he said.

Potentially Biggest Retail Real Estate Fraud Case
in History
Colliers Subpoenas Ex-Wife Of Mattress Firm CEO In Latest Chapter Of Retailers'
Real Estate Fraud Case
Colliers International is looking to question the former spouse of Mattress Firm
CEO Steve Stagner about real estate deals tied to her and possibly her
ex-husband, the latest in a legal salvo involving the retailer's allegations of
a multi-state real estate fraud scheme.
Colliers filed a motion in Harris County Superior Court to depose Julie Stagner
over records and knowledge regarding a number of real estate entities, including
ABR Investments, Breck Real Properties, Longmont Properties and RSJS Ventures.
The end game is to discover whether Stagner was himself invested in these real
estate deals, which involved retail sites that were home to at least one
Mattress Firm competitor, Select Comfort, according to Colliers' attorneys.
Last November, Mattress
Firm accused former Colliers International Atlanta executive Alexander
Deitch of being one of the ringleaders - along with former Mattress Firm
in-house real estate executives Bruce Levy and Ryan Vinson - in a scheme to
steer the company toward high-priced real estate in exchange for developer
kickbacks and other incentives.

New Jersey Apple regional office employee gets 3
yrs. prison for embezzling $243,000
 Toni
Ann Branca, 42, of Livingston, was an administrative assistant for Apple whose
responsibilities included arranging employee training, travel and parking for
her region of the company. Prosecutors said she had the authority to pay for
company expenses, like conference rooms and parking, with an Apple-issued
American Express credit card in her name.
Investigators determined that Branca submitted dozens of duplicate requests for
reimbursement of the business expenses charged on the company-card. This
double-billing racked up a total of about $243,000 in excess reimbursements,
which Branca used to shop for clothing, electronics and furniture, according to
prosecutors.
"This sentence sends a strong deterrent message to white collar criminals
like Branca who think they can defy the maxim that crime doesn't pay,"
New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said.

Electrocution, cardiac pain, and a miscarriage:
UK Amazon warehouse investigation - 600 ambulance calls for injured workers
Amazon is under fire again over the way it treats the thousands of people who
work at its warehouses after an investigation revealed 600 ambulance calls to
its UK sites over the past three years.
Freedom of Information requests lodged by GMB, one of the UK's largest trade
unions, revealed 115 ambulance calls just to Amazon's Rugeley warehouse in
central England.
The calls include three for maternity- and pregnancy-related issues and three
for major trauma. There were 14 calls for people with breathing problems, one
call for the building being on fire, and two for electrocution.
The union found that there had been only eight ambulance calls over the same
period to a similar-size Tesco warehouse close to Rugeley.
"I've never seen figures like this - Amazon Rugeley must be one of the most
dangerous places to work in Britain.
An Amazon spokesman told Business Insider it was "simply not correct to suggest
that we have unsafe working conditions based on this data or on unsubstantiated
anecdotes."
The person continued: "Requests for ambulance services at our fulfillment
centers are predominantly associated with personal health events and are not
work-related.

The Mall Is Not Dead - Five Predictions for Five
Years Out
Over the coming years, many malls will reshape their offerings by moving away
from a focus on apparel stores clustered around department store anchors toward
more diverse networks that include nonapparel retailers, leisure and
entertainment tenants, event and pop-up spaces, and business service providers.
1) More than 1,000 department stores will probably close between 2017 and
2023, reducing total sector store numbers by one-fifth.
2) Consumers will continue to grow their spending on experiences at the
expense of retail purchases. We expect consumers to be redirecting an
additional $78 billion to discretionary services at the expense of discretionary
goods by 2023.
3) Online apparel sales will more than double between 2017 and 2023. This
means an additional $73 billion of apparel purchases will switch from stores to
e-commerce by 2023.
4) By 2023, millennials' spending power will have grown to reflect their
maturity. We estimate that US millennial households will wield more than $5
trillion in consumer spending in five years.
5) Retail alternatives will also chip away at traditional channels. By
2023, US shoppers will be spending an estimated $17 billion on online meal kits,
beauty and personal care subscriptions, and online apparel resale and rental.

The fundraiser asked for a $10/plate donation, but Moore said many who came
donated much more than that.

Secure Pegged Products with the Spiral Anti-Sweep Hook
The Spiral Anti-Sweep Hook is a secure solution for high-theft pegged
products. These hooks prevent product sweep while maintaining
availability and accessibility for honest customers. The Spiral
Anti-Sweep Hook protects valuable inventory without high-cost or overly
restrictive security measures.
The hook incorporates three features to protect merchandise:
● Knob makes a mechanical audible alert when turned to notify
store personnel
● Coil advances a single product at a time to prevent sweeping
● Hood enclosure prevents cutting of hang tabs
Each knob turn draws product forward, releasing a single item at a time.
Additionally, a mechanical, audible deterrent sounds as products are
dispensed, drawing attention to the display and alerting nearby store
personnel.
The Spiral Anti-Sweep Hook is versatile and can accommodate a wide
variety of products especially batteries, printer ink, razor blades,
cosmetics and more. The hook attaches securely to pegboard with included
bracket and to Wire Power Wing, PowerBar, slatwall and Madix crossbar
with optional mounting adapters.
To see how it works, check out the video:

The #1 CISO in Retail Worldwide
Walmart's Jerry Geisler on the CISO position, retail challenges
A Great Story of Working Your Way Up Over 27 Years
A global CISO in charge of one of the world's largest cybersecurity programs
got his start on the retail floor. He's arrived just in time for the digital
transformation.
When he started working at his local Walmart one summer during college, Jerry
Geisler had no idea he would spend 27 years at the retailer, learning everything
he could as he moved from market teams to the corporate office in Bentonville,
Ark., where he investigated fraud and built an internationally accredited (ASCLD/LAB)
forensics lab and eDiscovery program. His next challenges lay in information
security as Walmart created a security operations center and vulnerability
management program that today scans 1 million IP addresses in about four days.
Three years ago, Geisler moved into an officer role in the assistant CISO
position. In January, he was promoted to senior vice president and global CISO,
an opportunity that presented itself when the former Walmart CISO Kerry Kilker
retired. How did Geisler end up managing the global cybersecurity program of the
Fortune 1 retailer? Here, he discusses his retail journey and how opportunities
to support a growing business that "sells toothpaste and tennis shoes" led to
his security leadership role.
Can you talk about your career trajectory and the steps that led to the CISO
position?
Did you have a technical background at that point?
Geisler: I did not, outside of being a hobbyist. I was interested in technology
but did not have a technical degree at that point. I started devouring
everything I could find. I decided to go back to school to also pursue
additional business degrees.
Unlike a lot of IT professionals in the CISO position, you really understood
the business as you were learning the security aspects of retail.
Geisler: Right, and I intentionally pursued those degrees with the intent of
cutting my technical teeth, in certain situations, with on-the-job training and
mentorships.
How much of Walmart's business is online? Is the company still focused on a
big box strategy? What are the changes going on there, and how is that affecting
your information security programs?
A [few months] ago, it was reported that one of Walmart's third-party partners
likely had a misconfiguration issue with Amazon storage. What happened there?
What is your view of the
top challenges for the CISO position in modern environments? Things that are
going on now -- you mentioned cloud.
In any modern enterprise, the CISO is balancing the
business
objectives and strategies with the risk that comes hand in hand with those.
We have to recognize that most enterprises are not in the information security
business; they are in some other business, and you have to understand how to
facilitate and enable that business to be successful to achieve those strategic
objectives, while also ensuring that we are meeting our obligations of
adequately protecting the organization against risk and threats.
Your rise to the CISO position is somewhat unique in that your career in
security has grown along with the security operations of the organization. Are
there any anecdotes that you could share that illustrate some of the lessons
that you have learned along the way that may help those who are interested in
pursuing a senior security management career?
I will tell you that my security journey or my career journey, while it may be
somewhat atypical, it is not unique within Walmart. I can point to people all
over the organization that have started in vastly different roles and been given
the opportunity to do things that they never would have conceived of, myself
included.

Supermarket Ahold Delhaize Global CISO Identifies
Millennials, Sales and Marketing Pros Riskiest Employees
 In
its quest to infuse security across its enterprise, $82.8 billion supermarket
operator Ahold Delhaize has determined that the employees who engage in the
riskiest cyber behavior tend to be sales and marketing professionals, high-level
executives and, most surprisingly, millennials, according to the company's
global CISO Carolyn Schreiber.
As companies strive to educate its employees about cyber awareness, it can be
important to identify common traits among workers who are most likely to open a
spam email, click on a malicious link or be victimized by ransomware campaigns
and other cyberattacks. Schreiber addressed the concept of victim profiling, and
how to steer employees toward more responsible behavior, in a ransomware-themed
session at SC Media's 2018 RiskSec NY conference.
Schreiber said sales and marketing professionals tend to be cyber risk-pone
because they're "very focused on the customer and just less focused on data
protection." Millennials, on the other hand, tend to be more cyber aware, yet
still engage in risky behavior, perhaps because they are too comfortable with
the digital lifestyle.

The World Goes Digital, and so Does Crime
Cybercrime Is Skyrocketing as the World Goes Digital
If cybercrime were a country, it would have the 13th highest GDP in the
world.
Worldwide, cybercriminals rake in at least $1.5 trillion every year - an amount
equal to Russia's gross domestic product (GDP), according to research by Dr.
Michael McGuire, senior lecturer in criminology at Surrey University. McGuire's
revenue figure includes estimated earnings of $860 billion from illicit or
illegal online markets, $500 billion from intellectual property theft, $160
billion from data trading, $1.6 billion from crimeware-as-a-service, and $1
billion from ransomware. The research presents evidence that cybercrime
revenues often exceed those of legitimate small to midrange companies.
In fact, the global crime economy has become a self-perpetuating organism - an
interlinked web of profit where the boundary between the legitimate and
illegitimate is often unclear. The McGuire report notes the emergence of
platform criminality, which is similar to the business model used by companies
like Uber and Amazon and whose stock in trade is data. The report also red-flags
new modes of criminality that these platforms enable, and they allow illicit
monies to be directed to more widespread criminal activities such as human
trafficking, drug production and distribution, and even terrorism.

Fighting on All Fronts: Preventing Fraud in
an Omnichannel Retailing World
Today, with a connected environment and 24/7 access, consumers expect the
freedom to shop where they want, when they want, and how they want. In this
piece, Neil Smith, regional head of issuer sales and partnerships, EMEA,
Verifi, tells
RetailTechNews how, alongside this newfound freedom, comes increased risk of
financial exposure; and as the retail landscape evolves, so too does the
threat from fraud.
With
20.35 billion connected devices owned worldwide, nearly
3.58 billion global users surfing the web, and 1.66 billion purchasing
online in 2017, it's safe to say we're in the era of the omnichannel
customer. However, unbeknownst to many consumers, more channels mean more
pathways for fraudsters to exploit.
In this world of omnichannel e-commerce, consumers use numerous payment
methods to complete online purchases, from card or wallet solutions, to
one-click and contactless pay.
For most merchants, it is not possible to cater to every single possibility,
but the more choice and convenience offered to consumers, the more
opportunities to complete a sale. However, with opportunity comes potential
challenges, and many omnichannel merchants currently face card-not-present (CNP)
fraud and a rise in chargebacks as a result. CNP fraud typically occurs when
a criminal uses stolen card details to buy something on the internet, over
the phone, or through mail order - and this is becoming increasingly common
due to a rise in data hacks, phishing emails, and scam text messages.
But CNP fraud isn't always the result of a malicious criminal attack. In
fact, CNP fraud can be the consequence of unintentional purchases,
including: children buying online subscriptions without parental consent;
consumers purchasing on-demand movies without permission; or even one-touch
purchases being too quick for the consumer to realise they've made a
commitment. All the above cases are considered 'friendly fraud', which
occurs when a consumer makes a CNP purchase and then contacts their
card-issuing bank to file a chargeback claim.

San Diego, CA: Ring Leader Behind La Jolla Credit Card 'Skimmer' Scheme
Sentenced To Four Years In Prison
The leader of a credit-fraud ring that stole personal financial data
from dozens of San Diego residents and used it to buy more than
$70,000 worth of merchandise was sentenced Friday in federal court
to more than four years in prison. U.S. District Judge John Houston also
ordered him to pay nearly $76,500 in restitution to his victims. Wray
admitted to his role as leader of the scheme, acknowledging that he
obtained dozens of counterfeit and unauthorized cards and then directed
his associates to use them to buy such expensive items as Apple iPads,
luxury wristwatches, gold and silver, as well as significant quantities
of liquor and energy drinks. Soon after getting the stolen property,
Wray would sell it on the black market, according to prosecutors.

'Shark Tank' star says to strive for this method
instead of work-life balance
Barbara Corcoran seems to have achieved the infamous work-life balance, but she
says she ditched that ideal for a different method: work-life division. Here's
how dividing her work and personal life works for her and how it can work for
anyone else too.
Divide your time
Amazon's Jeff Bezos on why work-life balance is a
'debilitating phrase'
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos doesn't think the term 'work-life balance' really grasps
the heart of this concept. In this interview with the CEO of Axel Springer, he
shared how he thinks this phrase should be implemented instead inside any
organization.

The thrill of the chase intoxicates us all in the beginning and keeps most of us
here for a life time. But ultimately it can also hold us back because it
legitimizes our separateness and virtually eliminates the need to evolve with
the retail business. Recognizing it and forcing yourself to learn beyond your
specialty and embracing the relationships around you will poll vault your career
and help you stand out even more.
