Facial Recognition's Enterprise Impact

Case Studies
Investors: Should "Ask Retailers About Their RFID Strategy"
Sensormatic Solutions Driving Global Inditex & Macy's RFID Success
Inditex Calls RFID "Cornerstone of Their Digital Strategy"
Inditex's outstanding first half was due, in part, to its use of radio frequency
identification, which is why analysts should be asking more publicly traded
retail companies about their use of the technology.
Inditex, parent company of global retail clothing 7,000 store chains Bershka,
Massimo Dutti, Oysho, Pull and Bear, Stradivarius, Uterqüe, Zara and Zara Home.
The article reports that RFID technology
"is the cornerstone of Inditex's digital strategy.
Radio frequency identification is already working in
Zara, Massimo Dutti and Uterqüe."
According to MDS, the technology will be deployed across all of Inditex's chains
by 2020 (see
Inditex CEO Announces RFID Expansion Plans, Tyco Wins Chain-wide Contract From
Inditex and Wall Street Journal Article on Zara's Use of RFID).
The retailer's sales for the first half of 2019 were up by 7 percent, while its
profits rose by 10 percent.
Target has also posted strong earnings in the past few quarters, due in part to
its use of RFID (see
Target
Announces Nationwide RFID Rollout). This raises the question in my mind of
why retail financial analysts aren't asking other retailers about their RFID
strategies.
RFID can also provide the inventory visibility required to enable "buy online,
pick up in store" (BOPIS, or "click and collect") and "ship from store" business
models. Without RFID, companies often need to hide inventory from online
customers for fear an item won't be in the store if their system indicates there
are only two or three left. Macy's is able to show customers every item
available in its stores, even if there is only one left, because it uses RFID
and thus has confidence in the accuracy of its inventory counts (see
Macy's
Launches Pick to the Last Unit Program for Omnichannel Sales).
If I were investing in retail stocks, I would want to know how retailers are
using RFID and what their strategy is for merging online and offline channels.
Those that utilize the technology will be able to effectively execute BOPIS and
"ship from store" strategies. Those that don't will continue to struggle,
disappoint customers and ultimately lose sales.

RFID Journal's 'Ask The Experts Forum'
What Does It Take to Use RFID for Loss Prevention?
How can I utilize the technology for more than just inventory accuracy?
Beyond the basics of equipment and full depth of usage and visibility for LP:
The real value of RFID, in my view, is that it tells you what was stolen so that
the product can be replenished. It also provides data that allows companies to
investigate how and where theft is occurring. For example, if you know items are
going out a specific exit at certain times of the day, a security guard can be
positioned at that exit during those spans of time in order to deter theft.
American Apparel
found that RFID helped it to
reduce internal shrink by as much as 75 percent
at some of its stores (see
RFID
Delivers Unexpected Benefits at American Apparel). Stacy Shulman, who was
the retailer's VP of technology in 2011, told me that a cultural change occurs
when you deploy RFID. Because you are tracking individual items, staff members
realize each item has value and are thus less likely to take something, thinking
the company will never miss it or care that it's gone.

Facial Recognition's Growing Sales "Massively"
'Ruti' is using facial recognition technology in stores to boost sales
Designer Ruti Zisser, owner of the decade-old
California-based fashion brand, believes
technology is the key to building a successful in-store experience that delivers
on personalization. The brand started deploying facial recognition technology
into each of its nine stores last year.
A customer walking into Ruti's new flagship store that
opens in New York City next week
might be greeted by
a sales associate with a seeming photographic memory
of her size, past purchases and more. The
tech behind the recall: facial recognition.
Zisser said
adding this technology has grown in-store sales "massively."
The brand's estimated annual revenue is around
$9.6 million.

Gwinnett Walmarts Must Clean Up Crime: Solicitor General
Gwinnett County's solicitor general said there's an unacceptable level of
crime at county Walmarts and the retailer has to stop it.
Gwinnett County, GA., Walmart's 8 locations have to clean up their act and take
steps to prevent crime at their stores or face ordinance violation citations,
according to the county's solicitor general.
"Criminals see it as an easy target," Brian Whiteside, the
Gwinnett County Solicitor General, told Patch in an August interview. He
said that Gwinnett County Walmarts have seen 3,000 calls for police, 10 car
jackings and two deaths in recent years.
A shoplifter
killed a security guard in a Lilburn Walmart in 2016, and a dispute in
the Snellville Walmart parking lot in 2018 led to a
fatal shooting of a Bosnian War concentration camp survivor.
Loss Prevention Practices are Inadequate
Inside Target's Corporate Command Center
When
Natural Disasters Near, Team Target Springs Into Action
 Eight
days before Hurricane Dorian made landfall in the U.S., a group of team members
gathered in Target's
Corporate Command Center
(or C3 for short). Others dialed in from Target locations across the country.
Tiny bullseyes dotted a map of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas in front of
them -- representing hundreds of Target stores, distribution centers and offices
in the potential path of the storm.
The meeting marked the activation of Target's Green Team to address
the looming storm. The team would spend the next week connecting daily, closely
monitoring the hurricane and coordinating efforts to take care of team members,
guests and communities in the impacted areas.
Created in 2006 in response to Hurricane Katrina,
the Green Team - a cross-functional group led by the Global Crisis Management
team - includes representation from nearly two dozen teams across Target,
including Human Resources (HR), Property Management, Assets Protection, Store
Operations and Supply Chain. Since its
beginning, the team has supported Target stores, distribution centers and
offices in the wake of natural disasters like Hurricanes
Florence and
Michael,
tornadoes in Oklahoma,
flooding in Texas and
California wildfires.

JSA's Partnership with Law Enforcement & Intelligence Sharing
Helps Drive U.S. Jewelry Crime to Record Lows
The Jewelers' Security Alliance (JSA) has
released its 2018 Annual Crime Report
which showed that
dollar losses from crimes against U.S. jewelry firms decreased by 25.9% from
2017 to 2018, hitting record lows. Dollar
losses declined from $72.1 million in 2017, to $53.4 million in 2018. The total
of $53.4 million represents a remarkable
75% decline in dollar losses since 1999
on an inflation-adjusted basis.
John Kennedy, JSA President said, "Due to support from the industry, JSA has
been able to add substantial resources to its crime analysis and intelligence
capability, its reward program and its crime information-sharing effectiveness.
In addition to informing the industry with frequent Crime Alerts, JSA shares
detailed intelligence information regarding jewelry gangs, suspects and crime
patterns with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, both here and abroad,
on a daily basis. JSA receives countless messages of thanks from law enforcement
personnel for information that has helped in their investigations, and from
jewelers who have prevented crimes."
JSA's Report indicated both the ups and downs of U.S. jewelry crime statistics
for 2018:
-
The total number
of crimes increased from 1,394 in 2017 to 1,441 in 2018.
-
Dollar losses from Off-Premises Crimes (such as against traveling
salespersons or losses at shows) decreased from $18.1 million in 2017 to
$7.2 million in 2018, a record low since at least the 1980s.
-
Smash and grab robberies increased from 71 in 2017 to 129 in 2018, an
increase of 81.6%, while arrests of smash and grab jewelry criminals
increased from 28 in 2017 to 65 in 2018.
-
One jeweler was killed during a robbery in 2018, tied for a record low since
1980, compared to five in 2017.
-
Jewelers in mall locations experienced 66.4% of all on-premises crimes in
2018, compared to the crimes at all locations such as strip centers,
downtown locations or stand alone stores.
-
Grab and runs
were the most frequently reported crime, with 641 cases.

In the Aftermath of Hurricane Dorian, DOJ Reminds the Public to be Aware of
Fraud, Report it to the National Center for Disaster Fraud
 The
Department of Justice established the
National Center
for Disaster Fraud (NCDF) in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, when billions of
dollars in federal disaster relief poured into the Gulf Coast region, which
opened opportunities for criminals to exploit people during vulnerable times.
The NCDF, a national coordinating agency within the Department's Criminal
Division, operates a call center at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge
and serves as a centralized clearinghouse for disaster fraud complaints and
information relating to both natural and man-made disasters. The NCDF seeks to
improve and further the detection, prevention, investigation, and prosecution of
fraud related to natural and man-made disasters, and to advocate for victims of
such fraud. More than 20 federal, state, and local agencies participate in the
NCDF, which allows them to forward on complaints to the appropriate agency for
investigation.

Toxic Workplace Cultures Hurt Workers and Company Profits
-The Impact of Toxic Work
Culture
In July, SHRM commissioned research on
toxic workplace cultures and what happens to the employees who work in
them. "The
High Cost of a Toxic Workplace Culture: How Culture Impacts the Workforce-and
the Bottom Line," released today, found that many workers consider culture
and managers to be closely connected. In fact, 58 percent of employees who quit
a job due to workplace culture say that their managers are the main reason they
ultimately left. And the cost of this turnover? $223 billion in the past five
years.
"Lack of communication [between managers and workers] is a leading contributor
to the culture issues facing many organizations," the SHRM report notes.
- 6 out 10 say managers are the reason they leave their organizations.
- 1 in 3 say their manager doesn't know how to lead them.
- 3 in 10 say their manager doesn't encourage a culture of open and transparent
communication.
- 1 in 4 say: Dread going to work, don't feel safe voicing their opinions, don't
feel respected and valued.

'The Defining Internet Crime of Our Current Age'
Ransomware Crisis is Going to Get a lot Worse
And what's on the horizon is even more worrying
There is plenty of evidence to suggest that
ransomware attacks are getting bigger and more sophisticated. In the space
of just a few years ransomware has gone from a minor irritation for PC users to
being a significant threat to large corporations and even nations. Major
cybercrime gangs are looking to cash in on attacks, and state-backed attackers
have realised the potential for creating both chaos and profit.
Ransomware is now the defining internet crime of our current age. It's the
inevitable consequence of the corporate world's obsession with hoarding as much
data as possible, about anything and anyone, and its relaxed attitude towards
keeping that data safe.
In another twist, ransomware uses encryption, one of the key technologies we use
to do business and communicate online, as a tool to lock away data from its
rightful owner.
In some respects, the solution to the ransomware crisis is relatively simple.
Basic internet security hygiene will prevent the vast majority of attacks before
they have a chance to gain a foothold.
There's every sign that this is an epidemic that will get worse, not better.
The willingness for victims and their insurers to pay out means more crooks will
be tempted to try their hand. Ransomware-as-a-service kits mean even wannabes
with limited skills can try their hand at a running a scam. While some law
enforcement agencies have done a good job of providing the tools
to let victims decrypt their systems
few ransomware gangs have faced justice.

Did the Infamous Ransomware Gang Behind GandCrab Fake its Retirement?
Evidence Mounts That Sodinokibi Ransomware Is GandCrab Gang's 'Retirement' Plan
Evidence is mounting that the operators of the notorious ransomware-as-a-service
operation called GandCrab announced their retirement only after they ramped up
an apparent rival called Sodinokibi.
Security firm
Secureworks says that, based on multiple clues, it believes that the threat
groups behind GandCrab and Sodinokibi - aka Sodin and REvil - "overlap or are
linked."
The timing of the two groups' activities bolsters that theory, as do their
tools.

CISO role grows in stature, but challenges remain
In order to find out how
CISOs perceive the state of their profession, Optiv Security interviewed 200
CISOs or senior security personnel with equivalent responsibilities in both the
US and the UK.
Perceiving cybersecurity
Perhaps most surprising was the fact that 58% said experiencing
a data breach makes them more attractive to potential employers. This
stands in stark contrast to years past when a data breach was often a fireable
offense for CISOs.
Ignoring best practices
More than half (54%) of U.S. CISOs and 44% of U.K. CISOs indicated that they
practice their
incident response plans at a frequency of once a year or less. Industry best
practices call for frequent incident response tests and practice, so teams are
ready for the real thing when it happens.
Finally, CISOs were in broad agreement (88%) that it would be worthwhile to have
a global treaty in place on cybersecurity, like the Geneva Convention, where
countries agree to a set of principals governing their conduct on the internet.

How to Define & Prioritize Risk Management Goals
At the 2019 FAIR Conference, held this week in Washington, D.C., Jack Jones,
chairman of the FAIR Institute and executive vice president of R&D at RiskLens,
moderated a panel focused on defining goals of an effective risk management
program.
Firms that exclusively focus on best practices and compliance are not going to
be cost-effective, he argues.
One of the core objectives should be to
bring all
risk management groups together: audit, compliance, legal, enterprise
risk management "need to have very open and honest conversations," and clear
communication "served me incredibly well," especially when working with external
auditors and regulators.
It's up to security to deliver tangible metrics and a narrative to corporate
stakeholders. "Whatever metrics you deliver have
to provide a narrative that the audience can respond to," he adds.
Now Hiring: Risk-Focused Leadership
The first step to implementing a risk management program is finding a leader who
can translate risk into terms that inform a dialogue within the business.
Alignment between the business and security risk management is both "critical
and overlooked," Johnson emphasizes. Historically, security programs have
involved a lot of "blocking and tackling" to keep people out of trouble, Johnson
adds. But with the right strategy, security can be used to deliver valuable
outcomes through a risk management program.

New Study Reveals that 96% of Enterprises Face Costly IT Outages, Though IT Says

The

two concerns of IT teams worldwide, organizations are still plagued by frequent
brownouts (where infrastructure or software performs at a degraded level) or
outright outages. The typical organization surveyed experienced a combined total
of 10 such events over the past three years
The cost of even an hour of downtime can be staggeringly high, depending on the
organization.

Two Kazakh Hackers Plead Guilty in Global Digital Ad Fraud - $29M in Ad Losses
Botnets Hitting 1.7M Infected Computers in U.S. & Elsewhere for Click Fraud
In this scheme, the defendants used a global "botnet"¾ a network of malware-infected
computers operated without the true owner's knowledge or consent to perpetrate
their fraud. The defendants developed an intricate infrastructure of
command-and-control servers to direct and monitor the infected computers, and to
detect whether a particular infected computer had been flagged by cybersecurity
companies as being associated with fraud. As a result of this scheme, the
defendants falsified billions of advertisement views and caused businesses to
pay more than $29 million for advertisements that were never actually viewed by
human internet users.

Amazon's New Alexa Feature Enables Visual Identification of Consumer Goods
Amazon added a feature to the camera-equipped Echo Show device that enables it
to visually identify consumer goods. Users can ask, "Alexa, what am I holding?"
and the device will narrate back a description of the item. Amazon designed the
feature - aptly named "Show and Tell" - to help blind and low-vision users
identify groceries.
Users could, for instance, hold up an empty jar of peanut butter and ask Alexa
to order a new jar. Amazon seems to be moving toward a tech-enabled seamless
shopping experience as a means of achieving its "Grocery Shopping for Everyone"
ambition.

Louisville, KY: $90 million in counterfeit Cartier Jewelry seized by CBP
 Kentucky
may be in the middle of the country, but the Customs and Border Patrol facility
in Louisville has seized millions of dollars in counterfeit jewelry this summer.
The CPB says that since the middle of July, officers at the Express Consignment
Operations hub in Louisville have seized counterfeit bracelets and other jewelry
worth more than $90 million if the goods were genuine. Between July 17 and 31,
CBP officers seized three large shipments of counterfeit bracelets totaling more
than $42 million. This led to the arrest of a pastor in North Carolina who was
discovered with a cache of more than 3,200 fake Cartier bracelets. On Aug. 2,
North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall announced that church pastor
JianGang "Frank" Lan was charged with felony criminal use of a counterfeit
trademark and is being held under $25,000 bond in the Orange County, N.C., jail.
Another large seizure took place from Sept. 9 to 17, when CBP Officers seized
five shipments that contained counterfeit jewelry, which would be worth more
than $48 million if they were genuine.

Healthy debate in any industry spurs growth, understanding,
and challenges the status quo. Without it the normal evolutionary processes
which are slow to begin with slow even further. It is those who have the courage
to debate that make a difference and create change. However, as in the case of
any debate interpreting and understanding the messages is critical in order for
it to have a positive impact and facilitate change.
Usually driven by opposing sides, debates are driven by individual experience
and environmental influences that are often times invisible and therefore
unrealized. But at the end of the day, regardless of opinion all debates spur
discussion, thought, and emotion. And that is what causes change and
understanding.
While interpretation is an individual experience, the experience itself has the
ability to impact and educate.
Just a Thought,
