White House Crackdown Impacts Security Globally
By Taking Aim at Chinese Tech Firms, Trump Signals a Strategy Shift
In blacklisting surveillance companies, the United States is the first major
government to punish China for its crackdown on Muslims.
The
world has
largely sat by for nearly two years as China
detained more than one million people, mostly Muslims and members of
minority ethnic groups, in internment camps to force them to embrace the
Communist Party.
Trump administration officials on Monday placed eight Chinese companies and a
number of police departments
on a blacklist that forbids them to buy American-made technology like
microchips, software and other vital components. The companies are at the
vanguard of China’s surveillance and artificial intelligence ambitions,
with many of them selling increasingly sophisticated systems used by governments
to track people.
The White House cited their business in Xinjiang, a region of northwestern China
that is home to a largely Muslim minority group known as the Uighurs. The United
States government says more than one million ethnic Uighurs and other minorities
have been locked in detention camps there.
Much of that technology — including facial recognition and computer vision — can
be used to track people. That includes smartphone tracking, voice-pattern
identification and systems that track individuals across cities through powerful
cameras.

there's some risks involved.
Without Naming Huawei, E.U. Warns Against 5G Firms From ‘Hostile’ Powers
Securing Surveillance Technologies Is a Critical Concern
Spurred by high-profile data breaches, companies are taking steps to protect
their products, and the customers who rely on them, from hackers and others.
Given the convergence of video surveillance technologies with other security and
non-security solutions, securing the products that make up these systems has
become a priority for manufacturers, integrators and end users.
“With video security, the convergence of video and data such as analytics and
biometrics makes it an even more attractive target for criminals. Therefore, the
need to effectively detect and prevent cyber crime is even more pressing,” says
James Hoang, partnering and integration manager, Speco Technologies, Amityville,
N.Y.
The high profile of cyber breaches has created a culture in which device
manufacturers, particularly those in the security industry, are making concerted
efforts to prevent their products from becoming the “back door” that allows
hackers to access customers’ networks — and the sensitive data therein.
However, there’s a hidden challenge as a result of the growing cyber attack risk
and the precautions needed to address it, says Jeff Whitney, vice president of
marketing, Arecont Vision Costar, Glendale, Calif.

Insights from a global innovation perspective
When James Mullan spoke at the NRF PROTECT conference this summer, he covered a
new rubric of retail: changing consumer expectations, an enhanced customer
experience and a new paradigm for loss prevention. Retail, as we know it, isn’t
what it used to be.
“The traditional role of physical retail as the key mediator has fragmented,”
says Mullan, the senior vice president for global innovation at GDR Global
Intelligence when he spoke at the event; he has since taken a new role as a
strategic client partner at Kantar. Supply and demand are now more disparate,
perhaps than ever before. Consumers order and buy products through many
channels, from anywhere, anytime. Likewise, products are supplied to consumers
in different ways, from different places, by different people and entities.
Along with such change comes new concerns of controlling loss.

THE OLD MODEL AND THE NEW DISRUPTORS

Retailers Using Virtual Reality for Armed Robbery Training, Job Interviews &
More
Virtual reality - long touted as the next big thing in tech - hasn't taken off
as a consumer product, but employers are embracing it as a more efficient and
effective tool for on-the-job training. The sensory immersion is key to its
effectiveness. Because things look and sound as if they were real, the brain
processes virtual reality as though it were a real experience, says Stanford
communication professor Jeremy Bailenson.
"People learn by doing ... getting feedback on mistakes, and then repeating and
iterating," he says.
Not every workplace situation is conducive to virtual reality training. Some
tactile skills, for example, are better experienced in real life. But the
technology is especially useful for training people for novel or emergency
situations.
Verizon, for example, has been using the technology to train its retail
workers in handling armed robberies — a common crime in the wireless
industry. Retail workers can reenact being held at gunpoint, and in the process
learn proper ways to prioritize safety and minimize physical harm.
Feeling like they're at gunpoint creates a real stress response without putting
employees in danger. Verizon employees who survived robberies say the video
version is true to life, says Lou Tedrick, who heads the company's learning
and development.
"The emotions that they felt during the robbery experience they feel during the
VR experience," she says. That realism, she says, makes them better prepared and
more likely to remember the lessons. "By the end of the [virtual reality]
experience they feel like they've been robbed three times, and by the third time
their confidence is significantly higher," Tedrick says.
Walmart is already testing it as a way to interview job candidates, says
the retailer's head of learning, a man aptly named Andy Trainor.
"With all the data you get from VR, you can see where they look. You can see how
they move and how they react," Trainor says. "You could do an interview in VR
and based on the way they answer the questions, you can preselect whether or not
they'd be a good fit for that role."
This year, Walmart is training more than 1 million employees using virtual
reality. The retailer purchased 17,000 goggles that it's using in 4,700
locations to train most of its workforce this year. Trainor says VR is a far
cheaper and easier way to train people across a big organization.

How Lowe's Uses 'Intelligent Remote Guarding'
Protecting its Parking Lots & Warehouses
The Lowe’s Home Improvement big-box chain has been employing leading-edge video
monitoring from LiveView
Technologies with remote surveillance from
Protos Security to keep
eyes on its retail parking lots both during the day and after hours, says
John Doggette, director of asset protection operations.
During the day, mobile trailers with camera technologies affixed atop a mast
canvass the parking lots to provide both physical and visual deterrence through
both video and analytical functions, Doggette says. At night, when few if any
people are around, “We want to make sure our parking lots remain crime-free,” he
says. “We want to deter and/or eliminate any type of burglary or robbery.”
“Lowe’s uses the analytical capabilities to detect human heat signatures during
hours that stores are closed, which remote security professionals from Protos
analyze closely to determine when a given alert represents an actual threat. “If
the alert is a threat, they go through a series of verbal escalations,” Doggette
says, with the hardware itself speaking to potential intruders followed by the
remotely stationed human guard. If the event is reportable, a Protos Remote
Security Professional (PRSP) generates a written incident report with a number
of drop downs and attaches the video clip and sends out through the proper
Lowe’s personnel channels within minutes of the incident occurring. If needed, a
PRSP will contact local PD onto the scene.
Lowe’s would like to expand the footprint of stores around which it uses remote
video monitoring, Doggette says. “This is completely cutting-edge. Nobody was
doing this two years ago,” he says. “Even though remote guarding has been around
for several years, nobody is doing what I call intelligent remote guarding –
which is, every time that our remote guards are alerted, we know there’s
something happening. You’re not just on random patrol.”
Doggette sees this dynamic as the future of guarding. “There will always
be a need in certain situations to have a physical security guard on the
premises, but this allows the industry to really revolutionize that model,” he
says.

Money Magazine:
'Yes, Self-Checkout Machines Encourage Shoplifting.
Here's Why Stores Love Them Anyway'
For many stores, self-checkout machines are worth the hassle. Shops ranging from
superstores like Target and Walmart to convenience chain CVS to local
mom-and-pop groceries have all been adding machines.
One recent study suggested globally, self-checkout could continue to
grow 10% a year for the next five years.
Theft accounts for nearly 4% of inventory for retailers with self-checkout,
compared to just 1.5% for traditional checkout, according to
a
report from the U.K.’s University of Leicester. What’s more, in a recent
review of shoplifting offenders, 72% said that self-checkout made theft easy
to very easy; only 8% answered it made shoplifting more difficult, according
to the Loss Prevention Council.
In some instances, retailers are finding higher sales in addition to higher
loses with self-checkout, says Read Hayes, a criminologist at the University
of Florida and head of the Loss Prevention Council. Still, most are willing
to take the chance of greater losses. By switching to self-checkout, “the
convenience and cost to sell is much lower,” says Hayes.
A self-checkout setup with four machines costs $125,000 versus just $1,500 for
four traditional registers, according to estimates from M.I.T. But with only one
person needed to man the self-checkout aisle compared to four at the registers,
the cost savings can quickly add up, say experts.
Of course, ultimately most retailers will want it both ways — as few cashiers
and as little shrinkage as possible.
Stoplift Checkout Vision
Systems, a checkout vision software maker, aims to detect fraudulent
transactions through video rather than just using the weight scale provided at
the self-checkout machine. AI-enabled video allows the company to flag any price
switching or fake scanning and offer customer assistance, says Malay Kundu
founder of the StopLift, which was acquired by NCR Corporation, the largest
manufacturer of self-checkouts, last year.

Mother of El Paso, TX shooting victim 2nd to sue Walmart over lack of security
The mother of a man killed in the Aug. 3 mass shooting at the Cielo Vista
Walmart store has joined a lawsuit against the retail giant contending her son
died as a result of poor security at the store. The legal action on behalf of
deceased El Paso residents Leonardo Campos and his wife, Maribel Hernandez, is
now the
second legal filing in which Walmart is blamed by victims for security
lapses prior to the gunman's attack.
"Wal-Mart failed to live up to its legal duty because it did not employ security
guards to patrol the store among other security measures. The El Paso Wal-Mart
location where the shootings occurred does not appear to have had any armed
guards for security, although a number of other Wal-Marts around the country
do," said a statement issued Tuesday by the Zambrano Law Firm of McAllen, which
represents the Campos family.
Walmart responded on Tuesday to the new court filing, which occurred on Monday,
with the following statement: "We will never forget this tragic event, and our
condolences continue to go out to everyone who was affected. Safety is a top
priority, and we care deeply about our associates and customers. We will respond
as appropriate with the court."

Privacy and Facial Recognition - Keeping People Safer
Governments should think about consequences before banning new tech, say
participants at Nasdaq-NCSA cyber summit
Emerging technologies hit a barrier in privacy laws. As privacy laws continue to
roll out in Europe, California and other regions, privacy and security experts
disagree over how technologies including facial recognition, artificial
intelligence and 5G should be regulated.
Some proposals to ban these tools or place strict restrictions on them could
have undesirable repercussions, said Ruby Zefo, chief privacy officer at Uber
Technologies Inc. “You want the right person picking you up in the car, not an
impostor,” she said.
Ms. Zefo and others at a cybersecurity event hosted by Nasdaq Inc. and
the National Cyber Security Alliance Tuesday make the argument that
judicious use of biometric tools can keep people safer.

Europol Press Release:
Cybercrime is becoming bolder with data at the centre of the crime scene
Europol’s
2019 cybercrime report provides insights into emerging threats and key
developments
Cybercrime is continuing to mature and becoming more and more bold, shifting its
focus to larger and more profitable targets as well as new technologies. Data is
the key element in cybercrime, both from a crime and an investigate perspective.
These key threats demonstrate the complexity of countering cybercrime and
highlight that criminals only innovate their criminal behaviour when existing
modi operandi have become unsuccessful or more profitable opportunities emerge.
In essence, new threats do not only arise from new technologies but often come
from known vulnerabilities in existing technologies that remain unpatched for
extended periods of time. Law enforcement must therefore not only focus on the
potential impact of future technological developments in cybercrime, such as
artificial intelligence but also approach cybercrime in a holistic sense,
including prevention, awareness and increasing cyber education and resilience.
Europol’s 6th annual Internet Organised Crime Threat Assessment (IOCTA),
presented today at the Europol-INTERPOL Cybercrime Conference at Europol’s
headquarters, offers a unique law enforcement view of the emerging threats and
key developments in the field of cybercrime over the last year.
In addition to the main trends of 2019, the IOCTA also recommends focusing on
two cross-cutting phenomena that enhance all types of cybercrime. The
full IOCTA 2019 report can be found on Europol’s website.
Cross-cutting cybercrime phenomena - Data is at the centre of crime
scenes.
2019 IOCTA main trends - Ransomware remains the top cybercrime threat in
2019.

Cybersecurity Leaders Launch Initiative for Interoperable Security Technologies
The
OASIS international consortium has announced an industry initiative to
bring interoperability and data sharing across cybersecurity products.
With initial open source content and code contributed by IBM Security and
McAfee, and formed under the auspices of OASIS, the
Open Cybersecurity Alliance (OCA) brings together organizations and
individuals from around the world to develop open source security technologies
that can freely exchange information, insights, analytics and orchestrated
responses.
According to industry analyst firm, Enterprise Strategy Group, organizations use
25 to 49 different security tools from up to 10 vendors on average, each of
which generates siloed data.
To accelerate and optimize security for enterprise users, the OCA will develop
protocols and standards that enable tools to work together and share information
across vendors. The aim is to simplify the integration of security technologies
across the threat lifecycle – from threat hunting and detection, to analytics,
operations and response -- so that products can work together out of the box.
Founders of the Alliance, IBM Security and McAfee, are joined by Advanced Cyber
Security Corp, Corsa, CrowdStrike, CyberArk, Cybereason, DFLabs, EclecticIQ,
Electric Power Research Institute, Fortinet, Indegy, New Context, ReversingLabs,
SafeBreach, Syncurity, ThreatQuotient, and Tufin. The OCA welcomes participation
from additional organizations and individual contributors.

Business Email Compromise Attacks Spike 269%
Vendor Email Compromise Puts a Spin on BEC
Business email compromise (BEC) ramped up 269% from last quarter to this
quarter, according to Mimecast's latest
Email Security Risk Assessment (ESRA). This quarter showed a massive
spike in emails containing dangerous file types, malware attachments, and spam
in target inboxes.
The quarterly report reviewed more than 260 million emails from more than
480,000 users. Of the emails that were scanned by various email security systems
and successfully delivered, 28.8 million were spam, 28,808 contained malware
attachments, and 28,726 contained dangerous file types. More than 60,000 of
these messages contained BEC, or impersonation fraud, scams.
BEC scams continue to plague organizations because they can easily slip past
traditional security systems. Savvy attackers continue to build on their schemes
with increasingly subtle strategies, too. For example, vendor email
compromise (VEC), a
newly discovered technique, involves the intruder sitting on a target
network and observing communications to better craft fraudulent messages.

Winnipeg, MB: Politicians trying to close liquor store due to safety & addiction
concerns
Closing the downtown Liquor Mart location as a means of combatting both
downtown safety and addictions issues has the support of Mayor Brian Bowman.
Liberal leader Dougald Lamont floated the idea of stopping retail sales at the
Ellice Avenue and Hargrave Street location on Tuesday, saying it sells a
highly-disproportionate amount of budget sherry with a high alcohol content.
“Basically they’re the one dealer of an addictive substance that’s ruining a
lot of people’s lives, and there’s a responsibility that comes with that,
even though it’s legal and regulated. It’s a huge driver in insecurity and
danger in terms of public safety downtown,” Lamont said.

'Amazon brushing' scam delivers mysterious packages to doorsteps
Some customers receiving dozens of unwanted shipments per week
Free gifts pilling up on your doorstep might not feel like much of a scam. But
if you ask the people targeted by this strange con, it’s getting old fast. The
BBB just released a warning about "brushing". Essentially, it’s a ploy by
Amazon vendors, often overseas, to falsely boost their reviews.
They send the so-called gifts to real people then leave a fake review after the
item ships. That way it’s listed as a "verified purchase" review which carries
more weight. It’s becoming a nightmare for victims receiving endless
boxes of useless stuff. Plus, with all these fake reviews floating around, how
can you trust what you’re buying is actually a good product?
Amazon said they’re aware of the problem and they work to "ban all vendors and
reviewers who abuse the reviews system." They also never charge recipients for
the mystery gifts. But the perplexed recipients said the site isn’t able to
actually put a stop to the deliveries, and they’re starting to feel boxed
in.

NRF: Retailers disappointed Supreme Court will not hear ADA website case
9th Circuit Court decided websites should be treated like physical stores
The National Retail Federation said it was disappointed that the U.S. Supreme
Court today declined to hear a case that would have enabled the court to
establish a reasonable, nationwide standard for evaluating website accessibility
claims filed under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
At issue is whether a website is a “public accommodation” like a physical
store within the meaning of the ADA. In a brief filed with the court in
July, NRF and the Retail Litigation Center said a ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals had stretched the definition too far by deciding that
websites and mobile applications must be judged as public accommodations
rather than just considered as one of many ways in which a consumer might access
a retailer’s offerings.

No matter how smart a person is or how good a product or service is, your
success always boils down to your attitude - your demeanor - how well you
connect with those you're working with. Making that connection - working on that
relationship - and approaching your internal and external customers as just that
- customers - is critical if you expect to be successful. Remembering one key
point all the time may help - they don't have to buy anything you're saying or
selling regardless if you're a vendor or an LP executive. Because at the end of
the day, there's always someone else close by that can offer the same thing
you're offering.
Just a Thought, Gus
