ACLU targets ICE after Amazon pitched facial-recognition technology
Amazon has found itself in a new controversy over its facial-recognition
software. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on Wednesday filed a Freedom
of Information Act request with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
demanding the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) disclose whether it
uses
Amazon's software.
The civil liberties advocacy group's request comes after reports that Amazon
attempted to sell its "Rekognition" software to ICE and Homeland Security.

Amazon Opens First San Francisco Store
Facing Off With Other Cashierless Concepts in the Bay
Its fifth location overall for the concept, and already is working on launching
a second store in the city, due to open this winter, the company said
on
its website.
The e-commerce giant also is planning another store in Chicago, its second spot
in that city, which the company plans to open in 2019, according to Amazon.
Separately, Recode reported that the e-commerce company also is developing an
Amazon Go location in New York City, inside the Brookfield Place office
building near the World Trade Center site.
However, the San Francisco opening potentially could be the most interesting
one yet for Amazon Go, as it commences something of a competitive face-off
with other cashierless or automated checkout/mobile checkout concepts from
the likes of
Standard Cognition,
Zippin and Inoyko, all of which are technology companies that have opened
their own pilot stores in the Bay Area.
Amazon's rapid expansion and reportedly grand plans for
Amazon Go's proliferation in the coming years may overshadow what this band
of startups is doing with the automated checkout concept. But perhaps seeing
different technologies with the same goals operating in close proximity to one
another will highlight key differences between the approaches, as well as how
customers feel about each of them in their early stages.

Intellectual Property - An Asset That Most
Minimize & Don't Appreciate the Value
"Don't Give Away the Store: Protecting retail with design
patents"
One of the most important things for a retailer to protect from copying is
its retail environment, its familiarity. The thing that makes customers feel
they're in an Apple store, a Burberry store, a Best Buy, or a Home Depot -
even if there was no sign on the door. A retailer's unique style and
familiarity can build comfort and trust with its customers. At least, until
the competition copies this style, and it no longer feels unique.
.png)
Many retailers may feel that nothing in the intellectual property toolkit is
perfectly suited to combat this copying. Trade dress, a form of trademark
protection for three-dimensional articles, may be the most commonly used
tool. But it can be difficult to establish both a protectable right - by
showing that consumers identify the look of the store itself with a single
source - and infringement of that right - by showing that the look of the
copycat store is likely to cause confusion. Copyright is available for some
architectural designs, but it also falls short because it otherwise does not
cover the design of useful articles per se.
Fortunately, patents are available to protect retail environments. Not only
can patents protect retail interiors (and exteriors) on the whole, they can
also protect individual fixtures, architectural features, and any other
physical article that contributes to the overall style of a retail
environment.
Is your store's style influenced by the unique design of a display unit,
a table, a light fixture, a floor tile? Then patent it! If a competitor
copies it, you can assert your patent, even if they don't use it to create
an entire confusingly similar store.
chainstoreage.com
Editor's Note: Using a successful business model as an
example to build or create a business is a common technique and has been
widely practiced in every sector. But there's a line you can't cross.
Similar to controlling LP manuals and email list. Things that define your
program or simple lists that in a competitors hands enables them to profit
or cause damage or harm to your business. And it goes as far as what this
article points out. Something that most LP/AP executives probably aren't
even looking at. But something that everyone needs to be aware of and where
appropriate call it out and discuss it with your team. Just a thought.
Workplace trust is low. How can leaders fix this?
Your culture drives everything that happens in your organization
And as a recent survey found, reported in the Daily just last week, the Board
sees middle management as those who define it and drive it.
The problem is that our organizations are not great places to hang out in!
Recent research proves it:
● The Workplace Bullying Institute's
2017 survey found that 19% of Americans have suffered abusive conduct
at work. Another 19% have directly witnessed it. 63% are aware that
workplace bullying happens.
● Christine
Porath found that 98% of workers surveyed in the past 20 years
have experienced incivility in the workplace.
●
TinyPulse found that 77% of employees do not feel strongly valued at
work.
● And trust across our society is at an all-time low. The
2018 Edelman Trust Barometer found that trust among the US general
population fell nine points to 43 on a 100-point scale, the larges t drop in the
history of the survey's history. Trust among the informed US public plunged
23 points to 45, making it the lowest of the 28 markets surveyed.
These all contribute to the poor quality of our workplace cultures.
So, what do culture-savvy leaders pay attention to in their teams to ensure a
purposeful, positive, productive work culture?
Watch this crisp, three-minute video to learn the three things you and
your leaders should be paying attention to when it comes to culture.

FAA bill to impact security industry
Bill sets policies for not just drones but security technology as well
President Trump signed into law on Oct. 5, H.R. 302, the FAA Reauthorization Act
of 2018, a bill that provides a roadmap for FAA-related policies, programs and
procedures that will impact the security industry in a number of ways, from
the use of counter-drone measures to the expanded use of CCTV and biometric
technology within airports.
Included in the new law is the Preventing Emerging Threats Act, which was a 2018
policy priority for the Security Industry Association, according to Joseph
Hoellerer, government relations manager for SIA.
"It presents an opportunity for our members who specialize in the counter-UAS
[unmanned aircraft systems] space to work with DHS and DOJ, hopefully getting
their technology procured by those two governmental entities," said Hoellerer.
It is SIA's hope, he added, that this legislation also starts the conversation
about giving commercial entities similar authority to counter UAS threats.

Retailers missing the mark with BOPIS, shipping
Inconsistencies in operational processes are killing the customer experience.
This was according to a new study by strategic retail advisory firm HRC Retail
Advisory (HRC), which revealed that 100% of companies offering omnichannel
services are experiencing operational challenges. Specifically, retailers are
experiencing execution issues that have caused customer frustration and
increased cost to the retailers.
Buy online, pick up in-store (BOPIS) is a major source of retailers' headaches.
Companies describe the initiative as consistently unreliable, as systems often
tell shoppers that an item is available in a specific store, yet the store does
not actually have it in stock. In fact, 66% of retailers blame BOPIS
inconsistencies on inventory inaccuracies.

Global Retailers Say Unplanned Absence Wreaks Havoc on Store Operations
According to a survey of 800 retail managers across multiple countries conducted
by The Workforce Institute at Kronos Incorporated, for every 10 hours of
in-store labor budgeted, more than one hour is wasted due to staffing
misalignment caused by unplanned employee absence.1 Absenteeism drives
understaffing worldwide and poses significant workforce management challenges
for retail organizations, with many citing a significant impact on productivity,
labor costs, store revenue, and customer satisfaction.

In what may be a first, Patagonia endorses two Senate candidates
For the first time in its corporate history, outdoor retailer Patagonia endorsed
2 Senate candidates. The move is unusually political for a for-profit company,
but it's also very 'on brand.' As social media makes the payoff of 'morality
marketing' more immediate, other companies like Nike and REI are also starting
to mix business and politics for those sweet, sweet retweets.

New Sekura research unveiled at LPRC
Sekura Global is pleased to unveil results from the first phase of our research
with the LPRC. The research formed part of the Product Protection Working Group,
focusing on Sekura's award-winning SlideTag and Self-Retracting BoxGrip, and was
first made available at the recent LPRC Impact Conference in Florida.
Phase one of the study involved interviewing former-offenders to determine how
they perceived the SlideTag and Self-Retracting BoxGrip technologies, whether
they understood the tags, and whether they would be deterred from attempting
theft of merchandise protected with these tags. In this way, the report
establishes whether offenders might "See it - Get it - Fear it" in each case.
The key findings from the study are as follows:
Self-Retracting BoxGrip
● 75% of Offenders surveyed had never encountered the BoxGrip before
● 100% of Offenders noticed the BoxGrip (See It)
● 100% identified the tag as a deterrent (Get It)
● Average deterrence of 5.9 out of 7, meaning "Somewhat Strongly/Strong
Deterred" (Fear It)
SlideTag
● 100% of Offenders surveyed had never encountered the SlideTag before
● 100% of Offenders noticed the SlideTag (See It)
● 88% identified the tag as a deterrent (Get It)
● Average deterrence of 5.1 out of 7, meaning "Somewhat Strongly/Strong
Deterred" (Fear It)
Interviews of offenders were undertaken in-person at the LPRC Innovation Lab in
Gainesville Florida, and the report was conduct by Mike Giblin and Dr Read Hayes
(of the LPRC). In the second phase of the research, customer and store associate
data will be collected in a retail lab environment and will be made available in
2019.

Organized Crime Report Shares Insights on GDPR, Skimming, Counterfeiting
The
2018 Internet Organised Crime Threat Assessment (IOCTA), by the European
Union policing agency Europol, reports that ransomware remains the key malware
threat.
The 72-page report suggests that the new GDPR (General Data Protection
Regulation) and the lesser-known Network and Information Security (NIS)
directive, also relating to data breaches, will likely lead to greater
reporting of breaches to law enforcement and increasing cases of cyber-extortion.
As for payment fraud, the report warns that the threat from skimming
continues and shall do as long as payment cards with magnetic stripes continue
to be used. The abuse of PoS terminals is taking on new forms: from
manipulation of devices to the fraudulent acquisition of new terminals.
And as for online markets of cybercrime toolkits or fake documents or banknotes,
even firearms and explosives, Europol sees more, smaller vendor shops; and
secondary markets catering to specific language groups or nationalities. Most
illicit trade however still occurs on the surface web. The nature of the
counterfeit commodity is reflected in which market it is sold. Counterfeit goods
such as clothing, pharmaceuticals, electronics, or jewellery, sold wittingly or
unwittingly, will typically be found on the surface web where they can reach the
maximum customer base.

ISACA Issues New Resources for Auditors to Assess
& Maintain GDPR Compliance
The 25 May 2018 enactment of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a
European Union regulation, thrust many auditors into positions of even greater
responsibility: serving as critical resources in complying with the new rules
governing the use and manipulation of personal data.
 Months after implementation, many auditors are still navigating these changes
and working to ensure their audit programs address all the new requirements of
GDPR. To meet their needs and provide guidance and best practices, ISACA, in
partnership with ACL, has released a new complimentary white paper,
How to Audit GDPR.
Exploring six of GDPR's principles-lawfulness, fairness and transparency;
purpose limitations; data minimization; accuracy; storage limitations; and
integrity and confidentiality-How to Audit GDPR identifies where GDPR can be
considered within an enterprise's strategic audit plan. The white paper also
compares the roles of data controller and data processor under GDPR, and it
outlines the responsibilities that data controllers have in working with
third-party data processors.
"Auditors play an integral role in ensuring enterprises are compliant
with complex GDPR requirements," said Jo Stewart-Rattray, CISA, CISM, CGEIT,
CRISC, Director of Information Security and IT Assurance at BRM Holdich and
chair of ISACA's Women's Leadership Council. "These new resources provide
the clarity and guidance to support auditors in their efforts to build these new
considerations into their annual audit plans."
Auditors can gain additional tools and insights into the GDPR auditing process
through ISACA's new
GDPR Audit Program Bundle, which is US $49 for ISACA members and $79
for non-members and includes the following components:
An instructional overview (PDF file)
● GDPR Audit Program-Enterprise: a comprehensive GDPR auditprogram geared
primarily toward large enterprises (Excel file)
● GDPR Audit Program-Technical: a selection from thecomprehensive program above
that focuses on technical aspects of GDPRcompliance (Excel file)
In addition, professionals can learn more by attending the free hour-long
webinar from ISACA and ACL,
Delivering Efficient Ongoing Assurance of Your GDPR Program, on
Thursday, 25 October, at 6 a.m. CDT. Tom Faraday, senior product manager at ACL
Europe, and Steve Connors, partner at Haines Watts, will discuss how to
effectively and efficiently conduct GDPR audits in support of an organization's
data protection officer and leadership.

AGARI - Whitepaper - Business Email Compromise
Report
In the second half of 2017, Business Email Compromise attacks continued to
accelerate with 96% of organizations experiencing attacks.
Because BEC attacks have no payload (such as a malicious attachment or URL) to
detect and block, they are able to slip past most conventional security
technology used to protect organizations.
This guide takes a look at 1 billion real-world emails that were considered safe
by conventional security technologies - Secure Email Gateways (SEG), Advanced
Threat Protection (ATP), and Targeted Attack Protection (TAP) - and
establishes which security technologies incorrectly classify emails as safe, and
the nature of these malicious emails.

Biometrics Institute develops action plan to promote ethical use of biometrics
Biometrics
Institute reports that more than 270 members and stakeholders met last week
during the Biometrics Congress and related events to agree on an action plan to
promote the responsible and ethical use of biometrics.
According to the announcement, it was agreed to develop additional good practice
papers focusing on questions of presentation attack detection and the use of
facial biometrics to be used to provide education and training to the biometric
community. The Biometrics Institute notes it is "well-placed to provide
thought-leadership and guidance on important questions including how to balance
security, convenience and privacy, how to harness biometric technology to create
social enablement, how to manage identity in the uncontrolled digital space and
how to manage identities along the travel continuum".
The Institute has previously produced good practice guiding material including
Understanding Biometrics - Considerations for Implementing a Biometric System
and the
Privacy Guidelines. biometricupdate.com
NEC features facial recognition-based retail concepts at Futurecom
At last week's Futurecom 2018 event in Brazil, NEC demonstrated how innovative
the customer experience in a smart business can be with the use of facial
biometrics. In a space set up as a smart cafe, NEC deployed its G5100 POS
terminal so visitors to the fair could make financial transactions and simulate
the purchase of typical products this type of business carries using a modern
POS system. The entire purchase process is digital with users being identified
by facial recognition. This allows for targeted promotions based on the
customer's last purchases.

E-Commerce in Greater Jeopardy With Soaring
Numbers of Stolen Card Data
An almost tripling of the number of false retailer websites designed to phish
for customer credentials and black-market listed stolen goods for resale are
some findings in a new report.
Riskified and IntSights Cyber Intelligence released "The
Retail and eCommerce Threat Landscape Report," which studied how the
growth in online shopping, combined with the explosion of
compromised financial data available, made the retail and e-commerce
industries one of the most targeted sectors in the darknet.
The joint report, which analyzed data from third quarter 2017 to third quarter
2018, addressed the scope and severity of the current threat and fraud landscape
for retailers from selling credit card data and personal information from data
breaches to sharing commonly used tools and schemes.
The report found some key trends:
● A 297% rise in the number of false retailer websites designed to "phish" for
customer credentials. In the third quarter alone, there was an average of 23
phishing sites per company, a significant increase from 2017.
● A 278% rise in stolen goods listed on black markets for resale.
● An average of 22.1 internal login pages or development servers exposed per
retail company in 2018.
● Fake apps and social media profiles on the rise with a 469% spike in
suspicious applications and a
345% increase in fake social media profiles (respectively) in the fourth
quarter of 2017.

Security ranks as number one eCommerce priority
for US SMBs
More than half (54%) of US online small to medium-sized businesses worry that
the move to frictionless payments, such as transactions that take place behind
the scenes in apps, is leaving them more open to fraud and will negatively
impact revenues according to a new report from Paysafe. This concern is
heightened by the fact that 76% feel they are being more aggressively
targeted by fraudsters now compared to a year ago and 54% consider card
fraud an increasing challenge.
These concerns mean US SMBs now view security as the most important factor when
considering their eCommerce setup. Security (59%) ranks above reliability
(45%), cost (49%) and ease of transactions including refunds (45%). US SMBs
are also wary that these concerns may hamper the buyer journey for consumers.
Four in five (80%) believe that longer verification processes during the payment
stage - which could potentially combat these issues - runs the risk of losing
consumers. Yet, 75% - a global high - admit they don't know how to balance
security with an acceptable customer experience, a global high amongst
respondents, highlighting the trade-off faced by US online merchants.

ICE emphasizes social media in fight against
counterfeiting
Law-enforcement agencies across the U.S. government and anti-counterfeiting
organizations from academia and industry gathered today to discuss how social
media can be effectively used to protect intellectual property rights and combat
the flow of counterfeit goods that threaten the health and safety of American
consumers, negatively impact the nation's economy and fund criminal
organizations involved in violent crimes.
In fiscal year 2017, HSI arrested 457 individuals, obtained 288 indictments and
received 242 convictions related to support of IP enforcement operations.
Additionally, combined efforts between ICE and CBP led to 34,143 IPR seizures
with a value of $1.38 billion.

Active listening is absolutely critical if you really expect to
influence change or modify behavior. You've got to hear what they're saying
before you can plan or expect to do virtually anything. And hearing what they're
saying is not simply hearing the words it's all about hearing the meaning and
the intentions behind the words. Because words have a tendency to hide the true
meanings and beliefs. As truth is often cloaked in humor so is meaning hidden in
words. With the number one obstacle being one's self hearing is often drown out
by how we want others to view us. So if you can leave your self at the door so
to speak you can then begin to focus on hearing what they're saying.
Just a Thought,
Gus
