Walmart Wrestles With How to Respond to Active Shooters
 Like
most retailers, Walmart is accustomed to the everyday dealings of shoplifters.
Now, it’s confronting a bigger threat: active shooters. Three days after a man
opened fire at one of its stores in
El Paso, Texas, and left
at least 22 dead, the nation’s largest
retailer is faced with how to make its workers and customers feel safe.
The discounter has long dealt with violent crimes at its stores across the
country, including one that took place less than a week ago in Mississippi where
a disgruntled employee killed two co-workers and wounded a police officer. In
early November 2017, three customers were killed at a Walmart in Colorado in a
random shooting by a lone gunman.
The El Paso store shooting, however, was the deadliest in the company’s history,
Walmart spokesman Randy Hargrove confirmed.
No workers were killed but two are recovering from injuries.
 Robert Moraca, vice president for loss prevention at the National Retail
Federation, said he’s fielded lots of
calls from retailers around the country over the weekend, many of whom just
wanted to go over their security protocols.
“We naturally have a heightened security awareness,” he said. He noted that most
retailers have active shooting training programs for workers so there’s not “a
lot of knee jerk reactions.”
Walmart launched computer-based active shooter training in 2015 for all its
employees and then in 2017, it made its workers take it on a quarterly instead
of annual basis. Last month, Walmart started incorporating virtual reality
technology in its active shooter training.
The training focuses on three pillars: avoid the danger, keep your distance and
lastly, defend.
In store locations with high crime, Walmart has off-duty policemen who patrol
the parking lots. It also uses a wide variety of technology including towers
that have surveillance cameras in its parking lots, Hargrove said.
But
most of its efforts are focused on curbing shoplifting, including putting more
unarmed greeters at the door. Hargrove
noted that like with any catastrophic event, Walmart is reviewing its protocols.
Melissa Love, a 26-year-old store associate in Long Beach, California, said
Walmart’s active shooter training is inadequate and does not make her feel
prepared. She said employees essentially watch a video and there is no chance to
practice.
“It’s kind of boring to be honest. It wasn’t like you were going to learn
anything,” said Love, who has worked at Walmart for three years. “It’s like, oh,
we have to do this again, and nobody takes it seriously enough. You wouldn’t
know what to do if it actually happens.”

A Walmart employee and customer helped 140 people escape in El Paso shooting
When gunshots rang out at an El Paso Walmart, Gilbert Serna yelled for everyone
to follow him. He said he led nearly 100 people out the back of the store to
safety before returning to the parking lot to help others.
"I was scared, I'm not going to lie, but I wasn't thinking about my own safety.
I was thinking about everybody else's safety," Serna told CNN on Monday.
The father of two has worked at this
Walmart store for almost 19 years. He was
standing near the back of the store on Saturday when
he heard a "code brown"
announced over the two-way radio. It took him a moment to register what that
meant - active shooter.
Seconds later, he heard gunshots. The 36-year-old immediately signaled for
customers and co-workers to follow him to the back room of the store. Through
that room, Serna located the fire exit and led the large group out of the
building.
"We were out in the open." Serna said.
"I opened the shipping containers and
told everyone to get in."
Instead of joining them safely inside the containers, Serna closed the door and
went to check on more people who needed to escape. While Serna was leading
people to safety at the back of the store, another person stepped in to help
others. Serna didn't know it at the time, but
a regular customer he recognizes was helping
people elsewhere in the store.
After hearing three gunshots and seeing at least five people bleeding on the
floor, Adria Gonzalez pulled her mother by her blouse and made it to a storage
area at the Walmart.
Gonzalez and her mother were shopping for their groceries and for a few school
supplies they were planning to donate this week. They were walking by the meat
counter when the shooting began, she said.
The assistant teacher took off her pink hat and started waving it at people
nearby, signaling a way out for those in the store, Gonzalez told CNN on
Saturday.
"Let's go, let's go. Vamos, vamos," the 37-year-old said. "Let's go."
About 40 people followed her to the storage area near the meat counter, where
they waited in silence. They waited until they could no longer hear any
gunshots.
Minutes later, the gunshots stopped. The group ran as they exited the building.
Walmart employees were there trying to help people escape and picking people up
in their cars, Gonzalez said.

‘I Had to Get Those Kids Out of There’:
Soldier Whisked Kids to Safety During El Paso Shooting
When the little boy approached Army PFC
Glendon Oakley in the El Paso store and
said there was an active shooter at Walmart, he initially didn’t believe him.
The 22-year-old, who is stationed at nearby Fort Bliss, was buying a jersey at
the time on Saturday morning.
“The
guy at the register and I, we just looked at each other. This was a little kid.
We didn’t pay him any mind,” he tells PEOPLE. But when Oakley left the store, he
saw people running. Then he saw 10 or more children running without their
parents. Then he heard gunshots. Oakley is trained on how to use his weapon, so
he pulled out his weapon and began scooping up kids along with another man to
whisk them to safety.
“I picked up four or five. The other guy got some more of them. We just carried
those kids to get them safe,” he says. “I wasn’t thinking about myself. I was
thinking about those kids. I did what I was trained to do.”
Oakley eventually found police officers and set down the kids with the police.

At Cannabis Shops, Face Recognition Is Already a
Thing
Dispensaries are adopting in-store surveillance systems to protect profits.
Experts warn it's a 'slippery slope' to discrimination.
The cannabis industry is embracing new technologies like facial recognition and
advanced video analytics throughout the supply chain—from grow rooms and
processing facilities to distribution centers and retail dispensaries. The
companies behind the technology say it benefits cannabis businesses, employees,
and consumers.
In Denver, Colorado, alone, there were 34 reported
dispensary robberies in the first half of 2019.
Some tech companies see the risk of theft as an opportunity to sell facial
recognition systems. Don Deason, VP of Sales for Blue Line Technology, claims
his company’s platform has significantly reduced cannabis robberies. It works
like this: When customers approach the front door of a dispensary, audiovisual
cues prompt them to look up at a camera. If they comply, the system records an
image of their faces, and the front door opens. If they decline or their faces
are obscured, by a
mask for example, then access is denied.
The system is also used to deter robberies and mass shootings in convenience
stores, schools, and office buildings.
Deason told Motherboard that as long as customers don’t shoplift or cause a
disturbance, “their information is deleted after 48 hours.” However, if a
store's management believes customers are misbehaving, they can tag each face
with a unique number, and the system retains that information indefinitely. If
tagged customers later return to the store, the system recognizes them and
alerts employees of their arrival by email or text message. Deason said Blue
Line encourages dispensaries not to confront tagged customers, but ultimately
"store owners set the store security policy and procedures," and, "the security
response varies based upon store policy."
Blue Line’s platform also controls access to restricted areas of cannabis
businesses such as grow houses, cutting rooms, and safes, serving as a
replacement for keys and access cards. When paired with other devices such as
RFID tags, which are affixed to cannabis products, face recognition systems
can track cannabis as it changes hands from one employee to the next.
In addition to tracking employees and controlling access, facial recognition is
used in dispensaries at the point of sale for age-verification. A Las
Vegas based company called 420 Cyber markets its
Badass Budtender
kiosk as a replacement for human “budtenders” who check ID at the register. The
kiosks can be equipped with facial recognition to ensure customers are of legal
age.
Inside dispensaries, facial recognition can do far more. 420 Cyber markets what
it calls “Video Active Security Monitoring” (VASM),
which it says can determine whether customers carry concealed weapons, if there
are warrants for their arrest, and whether their appearance matches “be on the
lookout” (BOLO) alerts issued by police. It can reportedly recognize A-list
celebrities if they happen to visit your store.

North American biometrics market forecast to
surpass $11B by 2023
Consumer demand for a balance of convenience and security is driving
businesses to adopt biometrics, and will increase the industry’s revenues in
North America from $4.6 billion to $11.1 billion by 2023, a CAGR of 19.3
percent, according to new market research from Frost & Sullivan.
The market will be boosted by the need to secure the proliferating network
edge and IoT devices, which is leading to partnerships between biometrics

Fed to Create Payments System to Speed Money Transfers
The Federal Reserve plans to develop a faster payments system for banks to
exchange money, providing a public option to another real-time network built by
big banks. The new system would allow bill payments, paychecks and other common
consumer or business transfers to be available instantly and round-the-clock, a
change from the government’s current system that is closed on weekends and can
at times take days to settle a transaction. The Fed said it anticipates that the
new service will be available in 2023 or 2024, and will support payments of up
to $25,000.

NCR SmartAssist Uses AI to Detect Self-Checkout Theft
- Reduces Interventions by up to 70% Artificial intelligence (AI) has a new frontier: the store
checkout.
Video analytics technology, patented by
StopLift Checkout Vision Systems, now
part of NCR, helps determine what occurs during each transaction at the retail
or supermarket checkout to immediately distinguish between legitimate and
fraudulent behavior.
NCR, the global leader in self-checkout technology with more than 250,000
installations worldwide, acquired StopLift in November 2018 and integrated the
AI technology into its NCR SmartAssist solution.
 NCR SmartAssist enables retail chains to detect and deter self-checkout theft
and scan avoidance, prevent false alerts and unnecessary interventions, alert
the attendant in realtime, and improve customer experience at the self-checkout.
Interestingly, SmartAssist is the rare loss prevention solution that has the
added benefit of improving the customer experience. Store data shows up to a 70%
reduction in the number of self-checkout interventions with SmartAssist. With
fewer false-positive alerts, the attendant can focus on true customer service,
acting properly on legitimate alerts and covering a greater number of
self-checkout stations. This means greater productivity gains and associated
labor savings for the retailer.
 “We’ve found that self-checkout theft and other scan avoidance has been up to
five times higher than at assisted checkout,” said Malay Kundu, formerly CEO of
StopLift and now General Manager of Computer Vision Solutions at NCR. “Retailers
always suspected that self-checkouts would be highly prone to scan-avoidance,
and our technology has certainly found this to be the case.”
NCR’s technology flags scan-avoided merchandise and unscanned merchandise left
in the shopping cart – and sends a real-time alert to the attendant via wrist
device or to the self-checkout screen itself. Now the attendant can take
immediate and appropriate action before the customer leaves the checkout.
The AI technology also addresses ticket switching, e.g. a dishonest customer
covering the bar code label of an expensive item with the bar code label of a
cheaper item. Another ticket switching practice is a customer stacking an
expensive item like steak over a cheap item like ramen noodles and passing them
over the scanner. In some cases, a dishonest customer will even have the cheap
item’s barcode taped to their wrist or in their palm as they make it appear that
they are scanning the more expensive item.

Battling Fraud and Cybercrime with Machine
Learning
From the retail and payments processing industries to financial services and
insurance, machine and deep learning solutions are now essential weapons in the
fight against fraud.
As a global payment processor with more than 2 billion cards in use around the
world, Mastercard engages in a constant fight against fraud. The company
processes around 165 million transactions per hour, and every one of those
transactions must be examined in real time for signs of fraud.
To accomplish this mind-boggling task, Mastercard relies on the power of high
performance computing (HPC) systems driving machine learning algorithms. These
algorithms apply 1.9 million rules to each transaction in a matter of
milliseconds. These rules examine things like the cardholders’ buying habits,
geographic locations and travel patterns, along with real-time data on card
usage — such as what they are trying to buy and where they are trying to buy it.
None of this would be possible without machine learning algorithms.
In a few words, machine learning is simply the process of training a system by
feeding large amounts of data into an algorithm to help the system learn how to
perform a task.
Machine learning is one of the most fundamental building blocks
for the AI solutions used in the fight against fraud, cybercrime and similar
threats to the enterprise.
Machine and deep learning solutions are now on the frontlines in the battle
against fraud and cybercrime in industries ranging from retail and payments
processing to financial services and insurance. And with new Ready Solutions
that make AI systems easier to deploy, IT teams now have easier access to the
weapons they need to fight back in a manner that better protects the enterprise
and its customers.

NYC's Real-Time Cyber Defense Platform
Two years after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio created the
NYC Cyber Command
to lead the Big Apple’s cybersecurity defense efforts, the team built an
open-source, cloud-based data pipeline to serve as a security log aggregation
platform that analysts could use to quickly detect and mitigate threats to city
networks and systems.
In accordance with its cloud-first strategy, NYC Cyber Command built the
pipeline on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google products such as Cloud
Pub/Sub, a scalable data analytics product that facilitates data ingestion.
Security events are published to Cloud Pub/Sub and then pull subscriptions make
the data available to log parsers and other services via Google’s Cloud
Dataflow, a fully managed service for stream and batch processing that puts the
data in formats security analysts can use.
“We have data coming from external vendors, and all this data is ingested
through Pub/Sub, and Pub/Sub pushes it through to Dataflow, which can parse or
enrich the data,” said Noam Dorogoyer, a data engineer and IT project specialist
at the command. “The way the data comes in can be simple such as
comma-separated. Other times it’s a mess. There is not a common format among the
vendors.”

Zulily is laying off employees at corporate offices in Seattle and Columbus,
Ohio as part of a restructuring effort, according to a Zulily spokesperson and
an internal memo from CEO Jeff Yurcisin first published by GeekWire. The
retailer did not disclose the number of employees being laid off, but Yurcisin
revealed the company will streamline its merchandising and studio departments.
Yurcisin began the memo saying that the company was at “a critical inflection
point” that required changes to the business. “We will also be increasing our
investment in technology, the user experience and other areas to help support
speed and agility as we experiment and innovate to build our fun and addictive
shopping experience,” Yurcisin said.

Survey: Just how damaging are negative online
reviews?
Forty-eight percent of online consumers have left a negative review online, with
nearly three-quarters (73%) having done so in the last year, according to new
survey of 100 U.S. retailers and 2,000 consumers from ERP platform provider
Brightpearl. Almost eight in 10 shoppers (79%) say that it is “very” or
“somewhat” likely that they would leave a negative review following a bad
experience, and 45% will share a negative retail experience with
someone else to warn them off a particular brand.
However, by focusing on one key area of the online shopping experience,
retailers can reduce the likelihood of negative online reviews. Survey results
reveal that 77% of all one-to-three-star feedback left by online shoppers were
related to problems after the buy button, such as issues with delivery or
returns.
Retailers have largely not addressed the post-purchase e-commerce experience.
Only 13% of retail respondents have invested in technology or solutions to help
address the issues that most commonly cause poor feedback and ratings, such as
problems with receiving items on time or overly complicated returns.

East Stroudsburg, PA: Cellphone thieves strike
multiple times in Poconos
They are incredibly fast and very good at what they do. They can slip in and out
of a building like a Navy Seal team, grab the goods and disappear as fast as
they came. They don’t leave fingerprints or evidence for that matter. They are
professional burglary teams and they’ve been roaming the Poconos, scouting the
area for quick scores. They’ve scored big time at least twice at Best Buy at the
Shoppes at Stroud on Route 611, looting the store of expensive iPhones, said
Stroud Area Regional Police Chief Jennifer Lyon. After a three week inquiry by a
reporter, Lyon on Monday disclosed the big box store had been struck not once,
as previously reported, but twice by a professional theft ring. SARP, after
questions from the media, confirmed in May that Best Buy had been the victim
of an $80,000 heist around Easter. Reports later began to circulate that
what happened in April was actually the second time the store had been hit.
Lyon confirmed those reports on Monday.

Seems like the longer a process goes, the harder it is for everyone to stay
focused on the initial purpose and maintain the enthusiasm as when it began.
Time and difficulty have their impact, but maintaining the passion and
enthusiasm is up to each person. With the last step seemingly the easiest, it is
usually the most critical step of all and many tend to approach it as if it is a
mere formality when, in reality, that last step can be the biggest and, if you
do not watch out, it could be a step right off the cliff.
Just a Thought,
Gus
