NRF Protect 2019 Recap
The D&D Daily played major
role at this year's NRF Protect conference
 In case you missed some of the action from this year's value-packed event, the
NRF has you covered with a
comprehensive recap, including session videos, session presentations, LP
articles and
conference photos.
The D&D Daily publisher and editor, Gus Downing, played a major role at
this year's NRF Protect conference. Not only did he moderate a
panel discussion with a group of loss prevention and cyber security
practitioners, but he was the 2019 recipient of the prestigious
Ring of Excellence Award.
The Daily's LPNN team was also
on the expo floor during the event, talking with some of the industry's top
solution providers (see pictures in the
June 12th and
June
13th Daily).
It was another successful NRF Protect and the D&D Daily looks forward to next
year's event, which is set for June 22-24 in Pittsburgh, PA.

Trump
Administration Impacting Retail & LP
From The Biggest Retail Fine In History to Philly's "Public Safety Crisis"
With Retail "Shoplifting at the Center of it All"
The Walmart Connection
Seeing beyond China's tariff war impact on retailers and consumers, which is
almost impossible, and just in case you missed the
NY Times Walmart Corruption Fine article last week, as
reported in the Daily, the Trump connection to Walmart's ultimate fine was
deliberately drawn by the NY Times writer with stating that the Obama
administration was aiming for a $600 million fine while the Trump
administration reduced it to $282 million. Subtly inserted but hoping to be
picked up. Which we haven't seen in any news outlet.
With this being the biggest and most historical FCPA case and fine ever
means that Attorney General Barr had to get the nod from Trump given the
potential media and legal impact. It's just to big for Barr do call this one
alone. Which may have also happened in the Pilot Flying J
$92 million fraud fine.
The Philadelphia "Public Safety Crisis"
Connection
"Shoplifting at the Center of it All"
"U.S. Attorney McSwain, DA Krasner Clash Despite Shared Vision for Safer City"
US Attorney Takes Philly DA to Task
Retail Stores at the Center of the Fight
US Attorney's Attack on Philly's DA - 1st One
of Its Kind From the Fed's
As reported Friday in the Daily, the relatively new U.S. Attorney (April, 2018)
in Philadelphia took the local DA, a Democrat, to task for decriminalizing
shoplifting and made the comment that retail shoplifting was at the center of
this new don't prosecute position.
Then when we look at the other two DA's that recently made the news with their
'don't prosecute shoplifting' policies we find all three of them are Democrats.
Not that we are making this political but the facts are the facts.
The police departments in both locals are up in arms asking for resignations and
claiming the DA's didn't campaign under those positions certainly.
But now we have a U.S. Attorney, for the very first time, coming out against it
publicly and making it a point to support the retailers. A huge position
to take that clearly was approved by the administration, if not initiated by
them. Given the amount of recent press and potential impact, we wouldn't be
surprised if the White House was contacted about this national trend.
Let's keep it up! Every LP executive in North America, including Canada,
needs to be communicating this to their entire 'C' suite and Board of
Directors. Because, number one, they're the only ones that can probably make
a difference and number two, if some start to feel the consequences of this
highly publicized policy it's best that you had called it out quickly.

Corona Costco shooting: Emergency-exit doors were designed to wait 15 seconds
before opening
 The
system has been taken down for now, but not because it's illegal - it awaits
outcome of a plan review. When shots rang out the night of Friday, June 14 at
the Costco in Corona, shoppers hustled to emergency exits.
Some struggled with the doors, failing to get them open, and instead hid or
quickly made their way to the main exit at the front of the store.
Those emergency doors, it turns out, were designed to not open instantly.
They were equipped with 15-second delays from when the so-called panic bar is
pushed until the doors open with alarms sounding off. Signs on the doors explain
this - although someone trying to escape a shooting understandably may miss
them.
The system meets a state building code on emergency doors that Corona chose to
adhere to.
At the Corona Costco, the delay system was de-activated after the shooting that
left one dead because it has not yet been approved, the city's Fire Marshal
Cindi Schmitz said.
Frustration about the doors came to light in the media following the
shooting.
"It's not very fun when you're scared and you're running for your life, and
you're trying to open a door that says 'emergency' and they don't open," shopper
Rochelle Flores told KTLA 5 the night of the shooting. "Everybody was freaking
out. People were falling over each other."
Flores told the station she hurt her hand trying to force the door open.
The day after the shooting, the city issued a cease-and-desist order for the
delay system, pending the review's outcome.

Making the Case for Diversity & Taking the Pledge
Diversity's new frontier Diversity of thought and the future of the workforce
Up to now, diversity initiatives have focused primarily on fairness for legally
protected populations. But organizations now have an opportunity to harness a
more powerful and nuanced kind of diversity: diversity of thought.
Advances in neurological research that are untangling how each of us thinks and
solves problems can help organizations, including governments, operationalize
diversity of thought and eventually change how they define and harness human
capital.
Diversity of thought can bring an organization the following benefits:
1. It helps guard against groupthink and expert overconfidence.
2. It helps increase the scale of new insights
3. It helps organizations identify the right employees who can best tackle their
most pressing problems.

NRF Tech 2019 Panel on Self-Checkout
"Everything Will Change"
Why check-in is the new checkout
 Autonomous
checkout is disrupting retail and creating a seamless, frictionless payment
experience, but it's also about something much bigger, according to a
panel of experts at NRFtech.
"We think about it beyond the checkout but as a platform. The data
redefines the customer's store experience - what works and what doesn't,"
The
"Autonomous checkout: Understanding and preparing for major industry disruption"
panel.
"Retailers of all types and especially traditional full-line grocery and
convenience stores are considering implementing autonomous checkout technology,
where a mix of cameras and sensors track shoppers as they select items through
the store and compile an in-app receipt with embedded payment," "What you
experience (in these stores) is a completely free business model where every
customer is known, contactable and preauthorized, before they even enter the
store."
The "holy grail" of autonomous checkout is in-store positioning
capabilities, "The ability to know where a customer is in the store is
useful for checkout, but can be used for a number of other purposes," Fisher
said, including directing customers on where to find certain items.
The other game changer for autonomous checkout has been the improvement of
computer vision. "Now that computers can see the way people interact with
things, everything will change."

UK's Grocery Retailer Waitrose 340 Stores Rolling Out Self-Checkout
Scan-and-pack system, customer facing tech., customers entering a store pick up
a handset or download an app and use their mobile phones to scan products as
they shop, smoothing out the checkout experience. "We've been working with PCMS
on payment software from the beginning and the technology has changed to take
advantage of underlying promotions and basket management," he says.
About 40 percent of all in-store transactions are self-service right now,
is split fairly evenly between the
 store's
portable self-scanners and customers' own mobile devices.
Reaction from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. "Surveys show the
speed and ease of checkout is one of the strongest performers in customer
satisfaction."
Meanwhile, the use of scan-bag-and-go technology is expanding at a rapid pace
in the United States with chains like Walmart and Kroger aggressively
expanding its use, 7-Eleven piloting a new project and Amazon continuing to
refine its cashierless Amazon Go concept - despite concerns among some
observers that the technology could promote increased theft.

Senators weigh potential security risks from Chinese-made drones
Members of the Senate Commerce security subcommittee examined the impact of
banning Chinese-made drones, or components for drones, during a hearing last
Tuesday.
 "You
get a system that is integrated into the economy of the United States that is
important, that people use, that people think is reliable from a secure
standpoint, a privacy standpoint, and then you realize as the system is being
built out that possibly the Chinese government has access to the data and other
elements of it, which is concerning," Sullivan said of the risk to
telecommunications posed by Huawei.
While Sullivan was not sure whether all Chinese technology that collects data,
and thus potentially sends this data to China, should be "ripped out of the
American economy," he said that "it's important for us to be aware of it and
then possibly start taking action about it."
Scott questioned why the United States still does business with China, calling
this "crazy," and adding that China "is not our friend." Scott estimated during
the hearing that over 80 percent of drones in the United States and Canada are
Chinese-made.
Wingo called for a "whole of nation" approach to stop Chinese data threats from
drones and other technologies, but cautioned against outright banning the sale
of Chinese technologies due to the potential disruption to the U.S. economy.

Sex Harassment Laws Toughened in New York: 'Finally, This Is Happening'
Wednesday, lawmakers passed sweeping anti-harassment legislation that supporters
said would make New York's laws among the most robust in the nation.
 The legislation eliminates the state's "severe or pervasive" standard for
proving harassment, which advocates said had allowed judges to dismiss claims of
inappropriate comments or even groping as insufficiently hostile.
The bills also restrict employers' ability to avoid liability for the behavior
of their employees; provide for attorney fees and punitive damages in
discrimination cases; expand the time frame to file complaints about workplace
harassment with a state agency; and ensure that anti-harassment training is
provided in multiple languages.
NY Govenor Cuomo said "We will make it easier for claims to be brought forward
and send a strong message that when it comes to sexual harassment in the
workplace, time is up," he said in a statement on Wednesday.
The changes build on a
slate of laws that Mr. Cuomo signed last year amid the peak of the #MeToo
movement that banned most nondisclosure agreements and mandatory arbitration for
harassment complaints, and required government employees found responsible for
harassment to refund any taxpayer-financed payouts.

Military Spouse Interstate License Recognition Options
It is the policy of the U.S. Department of Labor to reduce employment barriers
and enhance career opportunities for military spouses. Frequent moves by
military families can create employment barriers, especially for spouses with
occupational licenses. Many states help licensed military spouses by allowing
for expedited applications, temporary licenses, or license reciprocity.

CVS Wins in Non-Compete Agreement - SVP Exec is
Blocked
Former SVP CVS exec can't work for Amazon's PillPack, judge rules
A federal judge on Tuesday blocked a former CVS Health executive from working at
Amazon.com Inc's PillPack online pharmacy unit, saying that allowing him to take
a job where he would help drive its "disruptive strategy" would violate a
non-compete agreement.
"Months after entering an independent standalone agreement ... for which he was
well-compensated, Mr. Lavin, a high senior official at CVS with access to very
confidential information, went to work for a competitor," Judge McConnell said.
"That is wrong, and CVS is entitled to have the agreement enforced."'
In 2017, Lavin signed an agreement not to provide the "same or similar" service
to a Caremark competitor or take a job that "will likely result" in his
disclosing confidential information to a competitor for 18 months after leaving
the company, according to the order. CVS paid Lavin in stock worth nearly
$160,000 for his signing, the order said.

Wake Up Folks
Hackers Using Cognitive Bias as Threat Vector
'Why Diversity of Thought in the Workplace Matters'
Organizations Need Strong Leadership Backing in Order Train Managers on More
Inclusive Management Styles
Workplace demographics have evolved greatly in the past half century with women
and minorities represented in much larger numbers than at any time previously.
Gender, age, and ethnic diversity - among others - have become valued benchmarks
for companies in gauging whether employee talent and executive leadership
adequately reflects the overall population. Diversity is clearly good for
business, but for reasons that go far beyond optics or good PR. Simply put, the
more diverse your workforce, the more diverse their perspectives. Hiring people
of varied backgrounds and views generates the kind of thoughts and ideas vital
to working smartly and quickly, which is especially important in the
cybersecurity industry where discerning an attacker's motives and strategies is
critical to staying one step ahead.
Cognitive biases are mental shortcuts made to quickly process information and
decide on an action. Not every cognitive bias leads to bad decision making, but
many can. In fact, hackers and threat actors bank on cognitive biases to
get their targets to download malware or give up protected data. Some examples
of common cognitive biases include:
● Automation bias
● Confirmation bias
● Selective perception
● Zero-risk bias
A
Deloitte University Press GovLab report points out that by increasing
diversity of thought, employees are less likely to disregard new information or
be afraid to challenge the status quo.

The Very Real Convergence of LP & IT Security
Hackers Targeting HVT's
'DIGITAL THREATS TO HIGH VALUE TARGETS POSE PHYSICAL SECURITY RISKS'
The threat of compromising someone's digital security to create a physical
threat to an individual or an organization is on the rise.
"Attackers take the same kind of cost-benefit approach that we all do to the way
they spend their time," he explains. "One thing we know universally about
hackers is that they're very good at shifting, so they will shift from an
enterprise approach to a targeted, personal attack on the executive of that
enterprise. And that happens pretty regularly...it becomes a lot
easier and a much softer target, and they can have the same kind of impact."
In
The Entangled Enterprise, a recent report on protecting executives from
cyberattacks, Cypient Black found that along with rising traditional enterprise
attacks against corporate devices, networks, and information, and increasing
attacks against the extended enterprise-third party providers, such as cloud
providers and vendors-a third attack area is also increasing but is often not
addressed by corporate budgets: entangled enterprise risk.
"Entangled enterprise risk is the risk borne by an enterprise from targeted
attacks against the personal digital lives of the enterprise's executives and
other high value targets (HVTs)," according to the report. "These HVTs often
include senior executives, board members, executive assistants, and their family
members. Such attacks target aspects of personal cybersecurity that are
entangled with the assets of operations of the corporate enterprise."
Cypient Black identified two types of attacks that malicious actors use to
target HVTs: pivot attacks and endgame attacks.
Pivot attacks leverage vulnerabilities in devices and networks that HVTs
use that are not under the control of their respective organization, such as a
personal smartphone or laptop, to get access to the enterprise.
"They take advantage of the fact that senior leaders have access to a wide range
of sensitive corporate information, are constantly on the move, and inevitably
have personal devices which connect to corporate networks," according to the
report.
Endgame attacks, on the other hand, leverage access to HVTs' personal
digital lives to get corporate data or harm the HVT as a method of hurting the
organization he or she is associated with.
One example of this in action was when an auto manufacturer was in the middle of
a labor dispute. The CEO's daughter went out to lunch at a restaurant and
protestors showed up outside, even though she had not disclosed her location
online. An analysis of her smartphone later found malicious tracking software on
it.
The vectors used for these attacks are often overlooked by organizations
due to an inability to meet the demand or privacy concerns, Lesser says.

Is Hikvision Next?
U.S. Blacklists More Chinese Tech Companies Over National Security Concerns
The Trump administration added five Chinese entities to a United States
blacklist on Friday, further restricting China's access to American
technology and stoking already high tensions before a planned meeting between
President Trump and President Xi Jinping of China in Japan next week.
The move essentially bars them from buying American technology and components
without a waiver from the United States government, which could all but cripple
them because of their reliance on American chips and other technology to make
advanced electronics.
The entities are one of China's leading supercomputer makers, Sugon; three
subsidiaries set up to design microchips, Higon, Chengdu Haiguang Integrated
Circuit and Chengdu Haiguang Microelectronics Technology; and the Wuxi Jiangnan
Institute of Computing Technology.
The Trump administration is also considering adding Hikvision, a
surveillance-technology company,
The New York Times has reported.

Experts Warn Firms To Get Ready To Pay Ransomware Operators
Pledges to Not Pay Ransomware Hit Reality
While risk analysts and security experts continue to recommend that companies
keep focused on securing their systems and speeding incident response to
minimize the impact of crypto-locking ransomware, they are now also
recommending that companies be prepared to capitulate.
In a June 5 report, for example, Forrester Research
published a guide to paying ransomware, advising its audience to consider
third-party firms that negotiate with cybercriminals to ensure the best outcome.
"Our recommendation is to work with someone who is essentially a specialized
breach coach for ransomware," says Josh Zelonis, senior analyst for
cybersecurity and risk at Forrester. Companies need to "go through a staged
process to make sure that you are building a rapport with the actor and ensuring
that they are able, and willing, to decrypt the data - to essentially deliver a
'proof of life.'"

Why Manual Review is Key to Retailers' Defense
Against Fraud - Part 2
Manual fraud review isn't as old-fashioned as you might think. It reduces false
positives and customer churn. It also helps artificial intelligence-driven
fraud-screening systems get smarter. Manual review can even work for merchants
like digital content providers that need to make real-time order decisions.
In
part one of this series, I wrote about how manual review can increase
revenue and strengthen customer relationships. I also wrote about how
false positives cost merchants far more than completed card-not-present
fraud, and
drive away up to 80 percent of rejected customers.
Now let's look at what you need for a real-time manual review program to reduce
false declines without slowing down decisions. Real-time manual review requires
some resources and expertise that not all merchants may have in-house. Merchants
that can't implement the programs described here may want to outsource them.

Amazon's Home Surveillance Patent & Service Coming
Patent papers describe a future in which Amazon customers order drones to hover
around a home and scan for things such as a garage door left open, a broken
window, graffiti or a fire.
As Amazon envisions, a customer can have a package delivered by drone and then
instruct the unmanned aerial vehicle to conduct a "surveillance action," the
authors of the patent wrote
When the drone detects something awry, a text message or telephone call can be
sent to the homeowner or to local authorities.
"An alert may be provided to multiple recipients, such as a service provider
(such as a security provider), an operator, a user, or a municipal entity such
[as] a police or fire department," the patent materials say.

Google Wants a Piece of the Ecommerce Marketplace
Google's
redesigned version of Google Shopping brings its online marketplace center
stage. But can the new platform-which merges Google Shopping with the company's
existing retail marketplace, Google Express-compete with the likes of Walmart,
eBay and Amazon?
On the Google Shopping platform, consumers will be able to add items to a
universal shopping cart across Google Search, Images and YouTube-and then
seamlessly check out using a Google account. At the same time, Google has
introduced Discovery ads, which expands its ad offerings across these same
channels.
While Google has some clout in this space, it's not nearly as powerful as
Amazon, according to a January 2019 survey conducted by ecommerce platform Salsify. While 78% of US digital shoppers consider Amazon their favorite place
to buy and shop, just 26% said the same about Google or another search engine.

Your Quest
Is to help steer as many as you can into solid well performing teams so that
they get the credit and your retailer gets the results.
Mind you I didn't use the words "high" performing because quite frankly that
automatically puts expectations on every team player and just doesn't reflect
the every day reality of life. I just don't believe any team can maintain truly
high performance day in day out and the best we can all expect, is a well
performing team consistently, even when the chips are down. Because the reality
of leadership is to manage mediocrity to a point where it operates well every
day. Mostly because of human nature and life's inevitable bumps. That we all
face and have to deal with.
Thanks for all the comments about the Tip
column
Seems like everywhere we go people always mention how much they enjoy the Tip
column and quite frankly I find myself under valuing it and most times blowing
it off. Which is absolutely terrible to do and worst to admit. But I usually
like to leave the pontification to others who have the time to or who need to
search for subjects. Regardless we truly appreciate all the comments and support
and would merely like to say that if you feel that positive please share it
with our partners and your solution providers who sponsor The Daily and
allow us to do what we all here love to do. Because this small team of five
truly does love putting this together everyday and trying to make an impact and
we understand the responsibility and obligation. And only ask that if we're
adding value to your day please share that with your partners as well.
Just a Thought,
Gus
