How Gap Inc.'s LP leader also helps preserve the planet

Keith White has a unique title and position. As the executive vice president of loss prevention and global sustainability at Gap Inc., the skills and knowledge acquired through a career in loss prevention help him look at the bigger picture - much bigger than just himself or the company. "I feel like there's a better nexus between global sustainability and loss prevention," he says: In one way he's charged with the responsibility to protect the planet, in the other he's working to preserve it. On this episode, White joins the Retail Gets Real team to discuss emerging trends in the loss prevention world and how the apparel retailer is taking corporate social responsibility to the next level.

White sees three emerging trends in LP. First, active shooter and other emergency incidents are a growing threat. He stresses the importance of proper training for retail stores, team members, corporate headquarters and everyone on the supply chain so they are prepared to respond appropriately in emergency incidents. The opioid epidemic is "driving people who are educated and have access to wealth to make decisions or to do things that they typically wouldn't do," White says, "whether it's shoplifting behavior or it's violent behavior." He urges those in loss prevention to understand the effect the drug has on their businesses. nrf.com

Detroit Police Can Continue to Use Facial Recognition
The Detroit's Board of Police Commissioners approved a policy for police to use facial recognition technology.

The policy only allows facial recognition to be used on still images of people suspected of violent crimes or home invasion. It prohibits the use of facial scanning for "surveillance," through livestreams or on mobile devices, and at "First Amendment events" such as protests or other constitutionally-protected activities.

The directive states that police analysts must verify any facial recognition matches the software produces, and get that verification approved by a supervisor. Any facial recognition identification is only a lead for investigators and can never be used as the sole basis for an arrest, says the policy. securitymagazine.com

CNN: Asking customers not to bring guns into stores is one thing
Enforcing the policy is another

Walmart and seven other retailers made major political statements earlier this month when they asked customers not to openly carry firearms in their stores.

But enforcing the new gun policies will be complicated. Employees are on the front lines of enforcing the rules. Educating workers about how and when to approach armed customers requires training, and many employees may feel uncomfortable about asking gunholders to leave a store. There is also little data on whether banning open carry really does keep people safer.

That's why the policies, though well-intentioned, may not have much impact on reducing guns in stores. cnn.com

Carnegie report says facial recognition and AI surveillance spreading faster than thought
At least 75 countries around the world are actively using artificial intelligence tools such as facial biometrics to conduct surveillance on citizens, according to The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

A new report from the organization says that IBM and Cisco are among the government AI surveillance market's leaders. The technology is used by autocratic regimes, as well as liberal democracies such as the United States and France.

Major findings include that the spread of AI surveillance technology is much faster and wider than previously understood, with 64 countries actively using facial recognition, 56 implementing smart city systems, and 52 using smart policing technologies. biometricupdate.com

The report also reveals new insights on eGift cards, such as average load to a virtual stored value card and how restaurants can anticipate their eGift card sales to look during the busy holiday season. cstoredecisions.com

Apple's Ron Johnson - Amazon's Disruption is Over
Amazon has to 'figure out how to compete with Target and Walmart'

Target and Walmart's online sales are growing three times Amazon's in the U.S. Forty percent pick up at store, they're getting it same day. Amazon can't do that. So they've got to figure out how to compete with Target and Walmart." Ron Johnson, Enjoy CEO and former CEO of JCPenney (JCP), told Yahoo Finance's The Final Round.

Amazon has changed the retail landscape over the past 25 years, but now the industry it disrupted is beating the company at its own game, he said. Johnson said that the company's lack of physical locations is putting it a disadvantage.

"Once the physical companies took advantage of online shopping, fast shipping, pick-up in store, great technology, their traffic in stores is growing and their online is growing. So Amazon is kind of left out not having a physical footprint, and so they're trying to compete with this fast delivery which is going to be very expensive for them."

As Walmart and Target maintain rapid e-commerce growth, it's clear that the merging of online retailing with traditional retailing is becoming more important in the success of a company's e-commerce business.

"Amazon disrupted for a while, that's over now. Now the big stores have disrupted Amazon back" Johnson said. yahoo.com

Vast Majority of Consumers Already Plan to Return Holiday Gifts
During the upcoming holiday season 77 percent of consumers surveyed said they plan to return a portion of their gifts, with nearly 20 percent expecting to return more than half of their presents (sorry grandma!). This is both a blessing and a curse for retailers planning for the holiday season. While 32 percent of those polled noted they plan to return gifts via mail, 65 percent intend to return them to the store, giving brick-and-mortar retailers another opportunity to engage customers and boost post-holiday sales.

"Preparing for returns is a best practice, leveraging returns intelligence to inform product development and new customer acquisition strategies is next practice retail." oracle.com

Preparing For Physical and Cybersecurity Convergence
Today's security professionals need comprehensive strategies that take both physical security and cybersecurity into account.

In an era of increasingly sophisticated security threats, CIOs, CISOs, and COOs alike need to be more committed than ever to protect their data, facilities, and teams. From unauthorized personnel attempting to gain entry to your facilities to cybercriminals looking to breach your network, private security and public safety stakeholders need to be everywhere at once - or at least have the software that can help counter each specific threat.

This is only getting harder as digital infrastructure becomes more advanced and bleeds into the physical security world. For example, with organizations relying on the Internet of Things (IoT) for a greater share of their physical security - the number of IoT-connected devices is projected to reach 75.4 billion by 2025 - physical and IT security leaders need to defend a larger attack surface than ever before. securitymagazine.com

What your cybersecurity vendor isn't telling you
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) have been used in the IT world for many years as a contractual mechanism for holding service providers accountable and extracting defined payments and penalties when they mess up. Likewise, vendors have used SLAs to put their "money where their mouth is" in terms of fulfilling value promises and establishing important metrics for their customers. In reality, SLAs have not kept up with either of these purposes.

For most IT pros, once contracts are signed, the SLAs are shelved by both parties and do nothing meaningful to guide the relationship. Most enterprises are sophisticated enough to understand that any monetary compensation for a vendor's failure to perform is likely to be so insignificant as not to warrant the effort. Similarly, SMBs may lack the technical resources or manpower to properly document vendor failures, and pursuing remedies from vendors is likely #599 on the top-600 list of priorities.

So, if SLAs are virtually worthless in practice, why do we still use them? helpnetsecurity.com

Capital One: What's in Your Cloud
Controlling Your Tokens

The lack of visibility into the expanded cloud attack surface is a fast-growing problem that is only getting worse. Although we have seen misconfigurations in the cloud before, the Capital One breach is a sobering reality check for the security industry. We need to vastly improve threat detection and response in cloud environments.

The simple misconfiguration of a web application firewall (WAF) - which is designed to stop unapproved access - enabled the attacker to obtain an access token from that same WAF to carry out the breach.

AWS enables organizations to issue tokens that give trusted users temporary security credentials that control access to AWS resources. Temporary security credentials work almost identically to long-term access key credentials.

A temporary token is a good way to give a user the right to perform specific tasks and it reduces the need to manage access to certain accounts. However, it runs the risk of exposing passwords from a compromised account.

The misconfiguration of the Capital One WAF enabled a remote attacker to generate a temporary AWS token that could then be used to fetch data from an AWS simple storage service (S3). securitymagazine.com

California's IoT Security Law Causing Confusion
The law, which goes into effect January 1, requires manufacturers to equip devices with 'reasonable security feature(s).' What that entails is still an open question.

The California law, Senate Bill 327, was approved by the governor a year ago and requires that all connected devices sold in the state- no matter where they are made - incorporate "a reasonable security feature or features" that appropriately protect the user of the product and the user's data from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. The law specifies that single hard-coded passwords are not allowed, and each device must either have a unique passcode or require the user to generate a new passcode before using the device for the first time.

The way the law is written, ensuring devices follow that guidance may be enough, says Christine Lyon, partner in the privacy practice of Morrison & Foerster. "The law is only specific to authentication," she says. "That seems sufficient, but what I suspect will happen over time is that we will see more specificity around the required security features." darkreading.com

What are Hacker Preferences When Targeting Privileged Credentials?
During the Black Hat annual conference in Las Vegas August 3-8, 2019, Thycotic conducted research with nearly 300 attendees identifying either as "hackers" (49 percent) or "security professionals" (51 percent). Only four percent of hacker respondents to the survey identify themselves as criminals using their skills for malicious activity.

Both hackers and security pros strongly agree that service accounts are an attractive target because hackers can easily elevate privileges and gain access to sensitive information. Interestingly, a third of all respondents say that passwords are only changed after a compromise occurs. securitymagazine.com

Automated Cyberattacks on E-commerce Companies Growing More Sophisticated and Difficult to Detect
Imperva, Inc. released the first industry-specific study into the impact of bad bots on the e-commerce industry, titled, "How Bots Affect E-commerce." The report analyzed 16.4 billion requests from 231 domains during the month of July 2019. The report found that the sophistication level of bots attacking e-commerce sites is on the rise, with nearly four-fifths (79.2 percent) classified as moderate or sophisticated, up from 75.8 percent in 2018.

E-commerce companies suffer from a continual barrage of bad bots that criminals, competitors, resellers and investment companies use to carry out unauthorized price scraping, inventory checking, denial of inventory, scalping, customer account takeover, gift card abuse, spam comments, transaction fraud and more. These nefarious activities not only damage the customer experience and brand, they can also lead to poor website performance and even downtime, ultimately resulting in lost revenue during peak traffic times like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

"We agree with the approach taken in proposed legislation to ban the use of 'Grinch bots' and 'sneaker bots,' which are used to scalp limited edition, high-demand inventory, yet we know from first-hand experience that legal action alone is not enough. Online retailers must also practice good web security hygiene and take advantage of the technology solutions at their disposal to protect their websites and customers. Gaining a granular understanding of bot threats is a critical first step in the right direction," said Tiffany Olson Kleemann, VP of Bot Management at Imperva and former CEO of Distil.

Octavio Andres Difo-Castro, 28, of Brooklyn, New York, admitted that he employed several individuals who, at his direction, opened bank accounts and applied for and received financing for automobiles, clothing, and electronic devices using fraudulent driver's licenses, Social Security numbers, and other documents he created with stolen information he purchased on the Dark Web.

Difo-Castro's admitted to the court that, at his direction, several individuals opened bank accounts using fraudulent IDs he provided to deposit and withdraw fraudulently obtained funds; to pose as both the seller and the buyer of vehicles in order to fraudulently secure bank and/or credit union financing from financial institutions in several states; and used stolen IDs he provided to obtain retail store credit and make purchases at clothing and cellphone retailers in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
