SSI Large Installer of the Year:
Vector Security Takes Another Victory Lap

No stranger to the winner's circle, Vector Security has once again
earned its stripes.

 

Vector Security is a classic overachiever. Like the greatest scientists, entrepreneurs, filmmakers, architects, musicians, authors, athletes and teams, the company is continuously observing, analyzing, strategizing, evolving, pushing, pivoting and seeking to grow.

All the while it is driven by an obsession for excellence in every facet of what it means to be an elite security systems and services provider. This article is the result of Vector Security being named the 2020 SSI Large Installer of the Year, but it could just as easily be a decade or even lifetime recognition.

After all, among its many other accomplishments, the company also received this honor in 2016, was the first to nab two Police Dispatch Quality Awards and both President and CEO Pam Petrow and her predecessor (John Murphy) were inducted into the SSI Industry Hall of Fame.

Never content to rest on its lofty laurels, during 2019 Vector Security continued to innovate its business and effect positive industry change and advancement. The firm closed one of the flashiest transactions of the year by acquiring Nashville, Tenn.-based ADS Security.

That deal nearly doubled Vector Security's branches, added a third central station, expanded its monitored subscriber base to almost 400,000 and lifted RMR to nearly $20 million.

"Vector Security is focused on the needs of the customer," says Vice President, Marketing Art Miller. Our tagline reinforces this commitment through 'intelligent security tailored for you.' We consistently focus on improving our customer service standards by building trust, gaining loyalty and receiving feedback. Our customer value proposition reinforces, to all employees, our dedication to our customers' security goals and objectives."

Story of Notorious
Shoplifting Crew Goes Hollywood

Adam Sandler and Kevin Garnett team up to produce new series
based on '80s 'shoplifting crew'


Kevin Garnett and Adam Sandler are joining forces once again. As first reported by Deadline, the former Celtics big man and longtime New Hampshire resident, who both starred in 2019's "Uncut Gems," are collaborating on a scripted show based on The Lo Lifes, a Brooklyn gang active in the late '80s and early '90s that had a major influence on fashion for a generation.

"Lo Lifes: Stealing The American Dream" will tell the story of two Brooklyn gangs that were united by their love of shoplifting ("boosting") Ralph Lauren clothing from department stores, giving the stuffy apparel company a new ubiquity that spread beyond country clubs and polo grounds. The group later inspired a book and a 2017 documentary chronicling its influence. boston.com

From LPM to Serial Entrepreneur
How A Multi-Million Dollar Business Owner Attributes Her Success To Travel

From working a 9-5 loss prevention job at Nordstrom, serial entrepreneur, Natasha Burton was able to build and cultivate several million-dollar businesses. Burton is co-owner of companies such as Exquisite Hair; the popular restaurant chain Krab Queenz ATL; Flush IV Hydration; and a few other successful businesses. Burton's businesses are in various cities throughout the U.S., while production warehouses are based in South Africa and China.

Burton spoke with Forbes on traveling and building success as a female entrepreneur:

How did you transition from working at Nordstrom to becoming a serial entrepreneur?

NB:
Working at Nordstrom was an amazing job: I was actually a Loss Prevention Manager and would spend my time catching people stealing and committing fraud. It was a perfect job for a college student, but when I relocated to Los Angeles, I knew I wanted more. I didn't grow up around a bunch of entrepreneurs and I went to college to study law, so when an opportunity came to be a fill in Talent Manager, I took the chance. Being a Talent Manager was scary because I didn't know I wasn't getting paid for it initially.

So there I was with no steady income; bills through the roof; and a good job I had abandoned. However, it was the best decision I had ever made.
Working at Nordstrom in Loss Prevention equipped me with various skill sets to prepare me for entrepreneurship. There were tons of bumps in the road; setbacks; and disappointments but I wouldn't change my experience for the world. forbes.com

Virus deaths hit new high in Texas as governor urges masks
Two weeks after Republican Gov. Greg Abbott ordered most of the state's 30 million residents to wear masks, Texas is still scrambling to contain one of the biggest coronavirus surges in the U.S., and Abbott is stressing that the widespread use of face coverings could avoid another lockdown - one he hasn't ruled out. On Wednesday, Texas again set a new high with nearly 10,800 new cases, along with a record 110 deaths.

Although it remains too early to tell the impact since Texas' mask order was announced before the Fourth of July weekend, other former holdouts to requiring face coverings continued relenting Wednesday. Republican Gov. Kay Ivey of Alabama announced a statewide mask order just a few weeks after saying enforcing one would be "next to impossible." yahoo.com

As Pandemic Continues, Convenience Stores Add Safety Protocols
Convenience retailers say they are continuing to enhance store operations to address new consumer preferences related to safety protocols and convenient shopping options that have emerged from the coronavirus pandemic.

Nine in 10 stores (89 percent) have installed plexiglass barriers at checkout, and 87 percent provide hand sanitizer inside the store. Convenience stores sell an estimated 80 percent of the fuel purchased in the country, and 24 percent of stores are offering hand sanitizer at the fuel island, according to a national survey of U.S. convenience store owners conducted by NACS. theshelbyreport.com

Officials said the funds will be used to pay full-time and part-time employees making $20 per hour or less hazard pay for a 10-week period, from Aug. 16 to Oct. 24. Eligible employers can apply for up to $1,200 for each eligible employee and provide hazard pay for up to 500 eligible employees per location, according to officials. Grants for an eligible employer are capped at $3 million, officials said. cbslocal.com

Saying Los Angeles County is in an "alarming and dangerous phase" of the pandemic, health officials said the coronavirus is spreading rapidly in workplaces that are not following safety rules. While the county is seeing outbreaks at a variety of workplaces, the sectors with the highest numbers are food processing and distribution facilities, including meatpacking plants, manufacturing facilities, garment factories and wholesale warehouses. Often the locations are not enforcing physical distancing among employees or implementing infection control procedures, including the proper use of face coverings and frequent sanitation, Los Angeles County Health Officer Muntu Davis said. yahoo.com


 



Protests - Violence - Police Defunding


Portland: Federal Officers Using Unmarked Vehicles To Grab Protesters: reports
Federal law enforcement officers have been using unmarked vehicles to drive around downtown Portland and detain protesters since at least July 14. Personal accounts and multiple videos posted online show the officers driving up to people, detaining individuals with no explanation of why they are being arrested, and driving off.

The tactic appears to be another escalation in federal force deployed on Portland city streets, as federal officials and President Donald Trump have said they plan to "quell" nightly protests outside the federal courthouse and Multnomah County Justice Center that have lasted for more than six weeks. opb.org

Shootings Have Soared. Is the N.Y.P.D. Pulling Back?

As shootings go unsolved, some elected officials think that officers are staging a slowdown. But the department says it is stretched thin.

Gun violence typically rises in summer, as warmer weather draws more people outside and tempers flare in the heat. But
this year, the violence has been especially fierce in cities across the country: The coronavirus outbreak has deepened the endemic problems that often underlie gun violence, including poverty, unemployment, housing instability and hunger, experts on crime say.

The recent spike in NYC shootings has spurred growing and unusually harsh recriminations between some elected officials and the leadership of the police department, which is grappling with one of its biggest crises in years.

Arrest numbers have plummeted even as shootings have spiraled up, and
some elected officials contend that rank-and-file police officers are staging a work slowdown in response to protests over police brutality and systemic racism that erupted after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

But senior police commanders say they believe that their
inability to curb the shootings stems from the need to shift police resources to the protests, as well as a hostile political climate that has made officers reluctant to carry out arrests because of what they see as unfair scrutiny of their conduct.

Police Commissioner Dermot F. Shea, in an interview on CNN on Thursday, tied the rise in shootings to the release of thousands of people from Rikers Island under a new bail law and measures meant to contain the spread of the coronavirus - without providing data to support his claim. He also cited the partial shutdown of state courts during the pandemic, which has delayed gun cases.

"When you put those two factors together and now you add in an anti-police sentiment and new laws that do not help the police, it is a toxic, toxic environment," he said. nytimes.com

$9M Counterfeit Currency Bust - Biggest in History
Possibly largest ever bust of banknote counterfeiters in the history of the euro

The criminal network dismantled in Italy produced 25% of all counterfeit euro banknotes in circulation

Law enforcement authorities from Italy, Belgium and France, supported by Europol, dismantled an organised crime network involved in euro counterfeiting.

On the action day on 15 July 2020, officers from the Italian Carabinieri Corps (Carabinieri) and its specialised Anti-Counterfeit Currency Unit arrested 44 suspects and froze criminal assets worth 8 million Euros (US$9.14M) in Italy.

Asset recovery measures taken so far during the overall operation in Italy include the confiscation of 50 apartments, 8 business premises, 2 farms, 10 companies operating in various sectors, 12 vehicles, 1 luxurious boat and 22 bank accounts, all with an estimated total value of approximately 8 million Euros. europol.eu

UK: England: CEO of Central England Co-op says more still needs to be done to tackle threats and violence aimed at shop workers
More still needs to be done to tackle threats and violence aimed at shop workers, the boss of a Lichfield retailer has said. It comes after the Government outlined plans to tackle the problem. Among the proposals from the Violence and Abuse Towards Shop Staff report are urging police to work with retailers to identify the scale of the problem, as well as calling for thefts of items up to £200 being prosecuted as a criminal offence.

Debbie Robinson, Central England Co-op Chief Executive, said "While we welcome these positive steps by the Government, we still think more could and should be done to protect our store colleagues and all shop workers from threats and physical abuse. "We are aware that this is not just a Central England Co-op problem, it is an industry-wide problem, and this is why we will continue to work closely with other co-operatives and retailers to campaign for change."

Figures from Central England Co-op showed assaults on staff jumped by 100%, threats and intimidation by 25% and verbal abuse by 175% since the start of the year. Since the lockdown measures were introduced, there have been more than 100 incidents where the company's staff have seen people directly using COVID-19 as a threat. lichfieldlive.co.uk

San Francisco: Tech billionaire funding network of 1,000 security cameras
around city addresses privacy concerns

Three years ago, Chris Larsen - tech billionaire and executive chair of Ripple, a cryptocurrency technology company - began funding community business districts in San Francisco to install and monitor a network of cameras across the city. There are just over a thousand to date.
Footage can be requested by the police, the DA or victims themselves.

At a time when lawmakers are already proposing bans on facial recognition software for law enforcement and consumers are fed up with privacy on social media these security cameras add an extra level of privacy concerns.

"For instance, you may not want someone to know you're seeking mental health help or that you're seeing an immigration attorney. You don't know who's going to get the footage on the other end and you don't know what they're going to do with it," says Matthew Guariglia, Policy Analyst for Electronic Frontier Foundation.

We brought these concerns to Larsen, who acknowledged privacy is a real concern in the US and citizens should be skeptical of how surveillance is used. Currently, New York City operates the Domain Awareness System of cameras which is in partnership with Microsoft and the NYPD.

"We don't have a data protection agency... it underscores we need new laws soon because the technology is way ahead of the law."

But because this network is erased every 30 days and is monitored by non-profit community organizations, decisions on how that information is used, won't be sold.

"That's where these systems can have more privacy than every house putting up a ring door camera from Amazon and a Ring from Google, who knows what's being recorded and where it's going." msn.com

Drive-In Movies @ the Mall
Brookfield, other US mall owners rent out parking lots during the pandemic

Brookfield Properties has signed a deal with entertainment company Kilburn Live to turn the parking lots at a number of its malls in the U.S. into
drive-in theaters, hosting movies and virtual concerts.

The creativity stems from the complexity of the coronavirus pandemic, leaving retail real estate owners scrambling for solutions. A new revenue source, from parking lots, is likely a welcome reprieve for landlords coping with the new reality of a number of their tenants either closing for good, paying less rent, or not paying rent altogether during the pandemic. cnbc.com

Most global brands fail to implement security controls
to prevent data leakage and theft


The global pandemic has seen the web take center stage. Banking, retail and other industries have seen large spikes in web traffic, and this trend is expected to become permanent.

Global brands fail to implement security controls

As attackers ramp up efforts to exploit this crisis, a slew of high-profile attacks on global brands and record-breaking fines for GDPR breaches have had little impact on client-side security and data protection deployments.

AdvertisementThere's a troubling lack of security controls required to prevent data theft and loss through client-side attacks like Magecart, formjacking, cross-site scripting, and credit card skimming. These attacks exploit vulnerable JavaScript integrations running on 99% of the world's top websites, Tala Security reveals.

The report indicates that security effectiveness against JavaScript vulnerabilities is declining, despite high-profile attacks and repeated industry warnings over the past 18 months, including the largest GDPR fine to date.

Without controls, every piece of code running on websites - from every vendor included in the site owner's website supply chain - can modify, steal or leak information via client-side attacks enabled by JavaScript.

In many cases, this data leakage is taking place via whitelisted, legitimate applications, without the website owner's knowledge. What this report indicates is that data risk is everywhere and effective controls are rarely applied.

Key findings highlight the scale of vulnerability and that the majority of global brands fail to deploy adequate security controls to guard against client-side attacks:

● JavaScript risk has increased in 2020
Websites expose data to an average of 17 domains
No attack is more widespread than XSS

340 GDPR fines for a total of $180M issued since May 2018
Since rolling out in May 2018, there have been 340 GDPR fines issued by European data protection authorities. Every one of the 28 EU nations, plus the United Kingdom, has issued at least one GDPR fine, Privacy Affairs finds.

Whilst GDPR sets out the regulatory framework that all EU countries must follow, each member state legislates independently and is permitted to interpret the regulations differently and impose their own penalties to organizations that break the law.

White Castle is testing a burger-grilling robot named Flippy
White Castle is introducing a burger-grilling robot - and it might flip the entire restaurant industry. The privately held restaurant chain on Wednesday announced a partnership with the Pasadena, California-based startup Miso Robotics to introduce Flippy, an automated kitchen assistant, at one of its Chicago-area restaurants in September.

Flippy's debut in a major fast food chain is renewing questions and concerns about automation in the food industry. According to Miso, robotic fast-food workers could prevent the spread of food-borne pathogens by using thermal imaging to detect when meat is undercooked. They would also help limit human workers' exposure to food, reducing the chances of spreading illness.

But automation inevitably raises concerns about taking jobs away from people. White Castle's statement didn't directly address whether Flippy would eventually replace human workers, saying only that employees would be freed up to focus on customer service and front-of-house operations. cnn.com

Online Shopping Trends During the COVID-19 Pandemic
One of the most obvious responses as to how people are approaching the lockdowns and isolations can be seen in the changes in their shopping behaviors. People have shifted into shopping online rather than stepping out of their homes.

According to the survey, 9 out of 10 people have told are more frequently purchasing products, both essentials, and non-essentials, online which they earlier bought it from a retail store. To stay in the competition and be profitable, Brands and companies must adapt and become flexible to meet changing trends of shopping.  business2community.com


How Amazon Ad Spending Went from $30,000 to $11 Billion

Amazon last year spent about $21,000 per minute on ads and promotion, and it's now the nation's biggest advertiser.

Amazon swept past Comcast Corp. to become top U.S. spender in the Ad Age Leading National Advertisers report and ranking, released this week-and the omnipotent, omnipresent retailer could displace Procter & Gamble Co. as top global spender when Ad Age ranks the World's Largest Advertisers later this year.

Amazon rocketed its worldwide spending on advertising and other promotional costs 34 percent to $11 billion in 2019, giving P&G a run for the money.

Amazon opened 25 years ago this week-July 16, 1995-as "Earth's Biggest Bookstore." It spent $30,000 on advertising-5.9 percent of its $511,000 in net sales-in 1995. adage.com
