What the CFO's Are Reading
Including Ethical Behavior in Reviews & Bonuses - Skyrocketing
'5 Key Principles of Business Ethics'
Effective ethics and compliance programs make it easy for employees to "do
the next right thing, rather than the next thing right."
A new survey of corporate
ethics and compliance managers indicates that companies are trying hard to
get their employees behave in an ethical manner.
Change is happening quickly, it seems. In the survey, which polled 480
such managers, 55% of them said their organizations factor ethical behavior
into their workers’ performance reviews. In a similar study a year ago, only
35% of respondents said so.
Also, 31% of those surveyed this year said ethical behavior is now
factored into bonus allocations, a huge jump from 11% in 2018.

Editor's Note: Great read - and not surprising given #MeToo,
data breach impact on brand reputation - stock price - sales, the viral
real-time news cycle and the internet. Almost a must read. Just a thought.
Understanding the Convergence Between Online and Real-World Threats
What happens online sometimes manifests as a real-world threat. Real-world
threats are typically planned, referenced or originated online. Understanding
the convergence between online behavior and real-world actions is increasingly
important in the corporate security field. Here’s how security professionals can
think about identifying and understanding threats in a society that increasingly
straddles the virtual and physical worlds.
Listen to the noise, but understand the signals
There’s no shortage of angry chatter online. Indeed, without outrage and anger,
the internet would be a much quieter place. But malicious actors, whether
they’re targeting an event, a company/institution they dislike, or specific
people, can be distinguished from the typical online chatter. The more
information we have on suspected threats, the better our understanding of the
malicious actor and their intent.
The best defense is multi-pronged - Why convergence matters

Major UK food retailer trials app-based technology
that could make checkouts redundant
U.K. food retailer the Co-op is extending its trial of till-less technology in
stores as cash payments decline and consumers change the way they pay for goods
and services. In an announcement Wednesday, the Co-op said the app would be
available in more than 30 stores in England, Wales and Scotland by the end of
August. The technology allows customers to self-scan items as they shop, with
the amount they spend debited from their Apple or Google Pay account. Using this
system, shoppers do not need to visit a store's till.

NRF Responds to Trump Administration's Plan
to Impose 10% Tariffs on Another $300 Billion of Chinese Goods
National Retail Federation's Senior Vice President for Government Relations,
David French:
“As we’ve said repeatedly, we support the administration’s goal of restructuring
the U.S.-China trade relationship But we are disappointed the administration is
doubling-down on a flawed tariff strategy that is already slowing U.S. economic
growth, creating uncertainty and discouraging investment. These additional
tariffs will only threaten U.S. jobs and raise costs for American families on
everyday goods. The tariffs imposed over the past year haven’t worked, and there’s no evidence
another tax increase on American businesses and consumers will yield new
results. We urge the administration to bring our allies to the table and find
new tools beyond tariffs to achieve better trade relations.”

'We may lose Christmas':
Escalating Hong Kong protests taking bigger toll on shops, economy
Months of increasingly violent protests in Hong Kong are taking a growing toll
on the city's economy, weighing on confidence and scaring away tourists from one
of the world's most vibrant shopping destinations. Economists say the impact of
anti-government protests over the past eight weeks is already worse than in
2014, when a so-called "Umbrella revolution" paralyzed the city's financial
district for 79 days.
Demonstrations are more spread out across the city this time and violence has
been more intense, prompting local and foreign shoppers to avoid certain areas.
Stores and even bank branches have been forced to close for prolonged periods.
Various strikes are planned in coming weeks, while disruptive civil disobedience
actions are taking place almost daily and look set to continue for months. On
Tuesday, hundreds of protesters blocked train services, causing commuter chaos.
The main retail association has warned members expect a double-digit drop in
sales in July and August.

The first-ever Cybersecurity Women of the Year Awards - August 5th, 2019
The awards will be presented at an inaugural gala during the week of the
Black Hat, DEFCON and B-Sides Las Vegas conferences. These conferences bring
tens of thousands of industry analysts, hackers, designers, venture capitalists
and executives together to discuss risks and threats facing enterprises and
society in general. Organizers of the CSWY Awards want to “lighten the mood a
bit,” of these conferences by bringing together conference participants for a
celebration recognizing women in the security space, doing breakthrough work and
transforming the industry.
A full list of nominees and details on their work can be seen
here.
“It is very rare to talk about the achievements and milestones in cybersecurity,”
said Carmen Marsh, the organizer of Cybersecurity Women of the Year Awards and
CEO of the cyber-risk management company, Inteligenca. “We need to showcase our
leaders and how they actually protect businesses and consumers from disasters
every day. Those security experts who work in the darkest corners of the digital
world deserve their day in the sun.”
Some of the cybersecurity industry’s largest companies and associations are
helping Marsh put together the CWSY event including Microsoft, Intel, Adobe,
McAfee, Information Security Systems Association (ISSA), Cloud Security Alliance
(CSA) and Zeektek.
“We think celebrating the accomplishments and achievements in our industry
will attract more talent into our field,” Marsh said. “Seeing that there are
already women making a difference will resonate with others who maybe have
considered a change, but have been scared off for one reason or another. We need
to send a powerful, clear message that women are not only welcome but invited to
make distinct and meaningful contributions to the security industry.”

Bottom Line: On Cisco's $8.6M Settlement
Failing to Patch Video-Surveillance Products
While Selling to U.S. Government
A security consultant reported vulnerabilities in Cisco's Video Surveillance
Manager in 2009 - but the company ignored the issues and fired the
consultant. Violating the US False Claims Act for years.
The whistleblower lawsuit, brought by law firm Constantine Cannon LLP, alleged
that Cisco violated the US act when it sold vulnerable video-surveillance
systems to federal agencies, state governments, and the District of Columbia.
The lawsuit originated from issues in Cisco's Video Surveillance Manager that
were reported in 2009 by a security consultant, James Glenn, while working for a
Cisco partner. After initially listening to Glenn, the company fired him and
continued selling the product, the lawsuit maintained.
The settlement is part of a trend of companies having to increasingly pay
fines for their lapses in cybersecurity.
For security companies, the settlement should be seen as a warning that
they could be held liable for vulnerabilities in their products if the issues
are not handled in a timely manner.

What Security Markets Are Likely To Embrace AI?
Artificial intelligence is on the verge of changing the face of multiple
industries – from healthcare to entertainment to finance, from data security to
manufacturing to the cars we drive (or that will drive themselves!) In the
physical security market, AI has garnered a lot of attention as a buzzword and
as a harbinger of things to come. We asked this week's Expert Panel Roundtable:
What security markets are most likely to embrace artificial intelligence (AI)?
David
Budzinski, Global Vice President & General Manager | Technology & Consumer
Products, Johnson Controls
 "Integrating AI into security solutions is happening across all industries and
is helping to improve operational efficiencies and to provide a more proactive
approach into facility security. When coupled with machine learning, AI can
identify patterns to improve predictive analytics for a better understanding of
facility systems. This data equips security personnel with recommended actions
based on historical information and insights from the systems. Predictive
analytics also offer corrective action for maintenance needs, limits system
downtime and ensures consistent occupant and asset security – a beneficial asset
for many industries. For example, if systems go down in a healthcare setting,
like a hospital, patient care can be left at serious risk. With more AI-based
solutions, the medical staff can remain focused on providing optimal care,
helping patients heal in a safe, secure environment."
Jean-Pierre
Picard, Manager of Product Marketing, Genetec
 "The markets that will embrace AI will depend on which AI techniques you
consider. Today, a new generation of video analytics and automatic license plate
recognition systems
built on machine learning algorithms is already being used in mission-critical
applications, such as law enforcement, utilities and transit. Predictive
analytics, which project past data into potential future events to help
prioritize actions, will likely be another AI-powered application that will gain
traction. Since it requires access to large amounts of data, it is likely to be
first adopted by organizations that have unified security and operations
systems, such as large industrial installations, retail chains and
transportation hubs, or customers with large numbers of security sensors, such
as citywide surveillance. Anomaly detection is the application that stands to
have the broadest adoption. Its use cases are varied, ranging from system health
monitoring to dynamically detecting potential cyberthreats and identifying
unusual changes in crowds."

Research shows devices banned by US government lack basic security practices
It Appears the Administration Was Right After All
As the August 13 deadline looms for the US ban on Chinese surveillance
cameras, the news cycle is re-engaged with the issue. The panic about banned
cameras still being in operation shines a spotlight on both the severity of
the issue and the dire need to find a solution.
Through our research, based on tens of millions of embedded device binaries,
it’s clear that the banned devices lack basic security building blocks
and consequently expose users to the security threats that are alleged by the
US.
One may ask – are the banned Chinese devices the only vulnerable devices in the
field? The answer is surely no. Many devices from various countries also lack a
proper security state, however, they were not banned for use by the US
government – for example, D-Link camera, Amazon Ring, LG Hom-Bot, Cisco routers,
and many more.
As part of deep research conducted by our security team, a few well-known
vendors which are widely used were found vulnerable – QNAP, Synology, and
many more which cannot be mentioned yet, as VDOO adheres to a responsible
disclosure process.
However, the banned Chinese devices have some security issues of the highest
severity that could potentially cause significant damage.
Research findings indicate a grim security state.
What can the government and end users do?
One of our recommendations for the US and any other government, as well as
for the private end-user, is to use only IoT devices which are certified and
standardized according to a reliable body that uses neutral technologies to
assess the device’s security risks. Such certification can indicate that the
most important security requirements were implemented, which dramatically
reduces the chances of cyber-attacks or exploits.

Organizations At Risk for Data Breaches: System Vulnerabilities Increase
by 92 Percent
A new
State of The Crowdsourced Security in 2019 study reports a 92 percent
increase in total vulnerabilities reported over the previous year. The average
payout per vulnerability increased this year by a whopping 83 percent, with
average payouts for critical vulnerabilities reaching $2,669.92 — a 27 percent
increase over last year.
Mega-bugs like ETERNALBLUE, Double Kill, Meltdown, Spectre, and the
vulnerability in Apache Struts2 — which was responsible for the Equifax breach —
just a few examples of bugs that were exploited in ways that made headlines and
left many systems, users and companies devastated.
In the first half of 2019, there was a 29 percent increase in the number of
programs launched in versus the same time the year before and a 50 percent
increase in public programs launched. Why: More companies are reaching
security maturity and taking their programs public as a part of their corporate
social responsibility on the Internet.
Top Five Vulnerabilities Over the Last Year
1.Broken Access Control
2.Sensitive Data Exposure
3.Server Security Misconfiguration
4.Broken Authentication & Session Management
5.Cross-Site Scripting

70% of Orgs Will Use Security-as-a-Service by 2021
More than 70% of organizations will be using Security-as-a-Service by 2021,
according to new research from Thycotic.
The privileged access management provider surveyed IT managers and technology
decision makers at the KuppingerCole European Identity & Cloud conference in
Munich in May, compiling its findings in the Security as a Service on the Rise
report.
Two out of three respondents said their organization is already adopting
Security-as-a-Service, or will be in the next 12 months, with 70% planning to do
so by 2021. Those polled cited reduced costs, faster IT services delivery and
greater flexibility as reasons for opting for Security-as-a-Service solutions.
Respondents also indicated they are turning to cloud-based security services to
help keep up with rapidly escalating threats, costs and a lack of staff
resources with cybersecurity expertise.
“In another interesting result, the survey showed the security functions most
frequently moved to Cloud-as-a-Service were led by Privileged Account Management
and Identity Access Management,” added Carson.

EBay Sues Amazon Managers Over Claims of Seller Poaching
New lawsuit followed talks with alleged whistleblower
Ebay’s new lawsuit targets Amazon managers who it alleges helped coordinate a
scheme to lure sellers off its own marketplace.
EBay is suing three Amazon.com employees who it claims worked to illegally
recruit its third-party sellers, the latest twist in a nearly yearlong tussle
between the e-commerce competitors.
EBay first raised the allegations in a cease-and-desist letter it sent to Amazon
in October saying the Seattle firm had contacted EBay sellers on a platform used
by many to communicate, and attempted to persuade them to leave the marketplace.
The letter claimed that roughly 50 Amazon sales representatives world-wide
had sent more than 1,000 messages to sellers on its platform.
David Grable, an attorney for eBay, said Thursday that the company brought its
suit in part because a person with firsthand knowledge of the alleged scheme
came forward with new information.
EBay’s new lawsuit targets Amazon managers it believes to have helped coordinate
the alleged scheme. According to the complaint, the defendants and other Amazon
employees directed dozens of sales representatives and assigned quotas, in the
U.S. and overseas to set up eBay member accounts to use the platform’s
internal messaging system to recruit sellers.

UK Online shopping code for confusion!
New fraud rules mean you'll need a security code to buy items
but shops and banks aren't ready
Millions of online shoppers could face chaos after a security shake-up that may
bar customers without mobile phones. Critics say banks have not done enough to
prepare shoppers for the major changes, which are due to take place within
weeks.
The new system, aimed at preventing fraud, requires customers to use an access
code - typically sent to a mobile - before making purchases online. They must
enter this number at the check-out to confirm payment. But Money Mail has
discovered a string of issues that could leave shoppers locked out.
● Thousands of Santander customers without mobiles cannot complete purchases.
● The checks could also exclude those who do not get a mobile signal at home.
● Up to a third of purchases could fail.
● Some banks have still not yet warned their customers about the changes.
● Major banks are refusing to let customers 'whitelist' favourite retailers,
which means they will always have to input the code.
Almost one in five payments to retailers are online, but under new European
legislation, shoppers must soon verify internet purchases with a special code.
The idea is to make it harder for fraudsters to go on a spree with credit or
debit cards.

Seattle, WA: FBI: Delivery drivers involved in Amazon Multi-Million dollar Theft
Ring
The two contract delivery drivers working for Amazon had a clear-cut assignment:
They were supposed to bring packages from a warehouse south of Seattle to a post
office for shipping, or sometimes drive to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
to pick up items that were being returned to the company. Instead, the FBI said
in a search warrant affidavit unsealed last month, they routinely stole the
items and sold them at pawn shops.
A police detective last summer noticed that one of the drivers had dozens of
pawn shop transactions, and thus began an investigation that uncovered a theft
ring that sold millions of dollars' worth of stolen goods on Amazon.com in the
past six years, the FBI said. According to the search warrant affidavit, two
storefront businesses posing as pawn shops bought the goods from shoplifters,
then had the items shipped to Amazon warehouses, where they were stored until
sold online. Entities associated with the alleged ringleader did at least $10
million in sales on Amazon since 2013, FBI agent Ariana Kroshinsky wrote in her
affidavit. The agency said it was awaiting further records from Amazon to
determine the full amount.

Oklahoma City, OK: Camping World Employee accused of Stealing $300,000 of
Property
A former Camping World mechanic is accused of stealing more than $300,000 in
property from his employer, including an RV. Investigators said after several
RVs went missing, the company hired a private security company who determined it
was an inside job. “From RVs to batteries, to TVs, that were inside RVs,” said
Oklahoma City spokesman Megan Morgan. Over a span of several months, four RVS,
including a 2019 Forest River Cherokee, were stolen right off the lot. Also
taken were tools from the store's mechanic shop. Store mechanic Ronald Park
filed a police report, "alleging several thousand dollars' worth of tools were
stolen." After a security company was brought in, they spotted Park's vehicle
pull in after hours. “Officers were able to go in and run the suspects name and
found he had sold at least 45 RV batteries to local scrap yards,” said Morgan.

Sonoma County, CA: Man shot by Deputy after assaulting Santa Rosa Plaza Security
Officer with knife
Authorities said a Sonoma County Sheriff’s deputy shot a man Thursday evening
after he attempted to stab a mall security officer and brandished a knife on the
deputy. The sheriff’s office said security officers told the Santa Rosa Police
Department that a man stole items from a store and when a security officer
attempted to stop him, the man pulled a knife and attempted to stab his face.
The sheriff’s office said the deputy stopped his patrol car and the man walked
by the deputy, refusing commands to stop. The deputy gave warnings and deployed
his Taser which had no effect on the man.
As the deputy tried to get in front of the man to stop him from walking away,
the man retreated backwards and ran to the deputy’s patrol car and entered the
driver’s seat, authorities said. An altercation ensued as the man pulled the
door shut while brandishing a knife towards the deputy as the deputy tried to
open the door. Authorities said the deputy shot his service weapon at the man,
striking him at least three times. The sheriff’s office said the man was treated
for his injuries at the scene, reported to be non-life threatening injuries.

UK: London: ‘This Morning’ accused of 'glamorizing' shoplifting as smug thief
'gives advice' on stealing
Kim Farry claims she stole over $2million from a variety of stores of the years
but has since turned her life around after five stints in jail. Speaking to This
Morning hosts Ben Shephard and Rochelle Humes, she said that she began stealing
to feed her large family as a child and later moved on to stealing clothes.
Initially, she kept getting caught but began to figure out how to fool the
detectors and described the various methods she would use in the store. Asked
whether she felt guilty for what she had done, Kim replied: "Yeah of course but
it was only my way of life." She insisted that people would tell her employers
about her shoplifting: "I'd get a job and someone would come in and ruin it."
Kim revealed that she became so good at stealing that she began to employ other
people to go back to stores with de-tagged stolen goods and get money back for
them.

"Something just told me it was the wrong thing to do -- it didn't feel right --
I didn't have a good feeling about it." The subconscious is a very strong silent
partner we all have and oftentimes it speaks to us in these phrases. The problem
becomes when we over-think things and muffle the most powerful partner we have
-- our own minds. Or we allow our closest confidant, our closest friend, or even
at times our mentor to change or alter our true feelings. Coming to the right
decision with any big issue is difficult and certainly we need the input of our
trusted inner circle, and our spouse, but at the end of the day you're the one
living with the consequence of your decision and you alone are responsible for
it. When the bird on your shoulder is talking, make sure you listen because most
mistakes are made when that voice has been muffled.
Just a Thought,
Gus
