Your LP Tech Roadmap. From Devices to Agentic AI.

This Agilence whitepaper introduces the Loss Prevention Maturity Model, a practical framework grounded in real-world operations. It outlines four stages of LP evolution: Devices, Analytics, AI, and Agentic AI. Each stage has clear characteristics, specific technological requirements, and defined advancement criteria.

The model clarifies how foundational LP technologies build on one another, progressing from physical devices to the use of data generated by those devices. We then explore the potential of AI and how LP technology is in a process of shifting from reactive surveillance to proactive intelligence and ultimately toward autonomous action.

It offers benchmarks for self-assessment, the implementation challenges and prerequisites of each stage, and the steps LP organizations can take to progress through the stages. Most importantly, it provides a coherent roadmap for navigating rapid change, empowering organizations to move from doing more with less to achieving more with technology.

The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


Crimes Against Jewelers Continue to Evolve
From Conclave: Security Measures Jewelers Should Be Taking

JSA and Jewelers Mutual shared advice on spotting suspicious behavior, combatting cell phone jammers, and staying safe at home.

As criminal networks and technology evolve, jewelers must remain alert and mindful of new and ongoing threats to their business and personal safety.

During a session last week at AGS Conclave in Orlando, Florida, Scott Guginsky, executive vice president of the Jewelers’ Security Alliance, and Howard Stone, vice president of asset protection and claims at Jewelers Mutual, hosted a session on organized retail crime.

They discussed tactics, prevention strategies, and how jewelers can protect their employees, customers, and themselves, as well as their inventory.

Safe attacks are declining while distraction thefts and smash-and-grab robberies remain prevalent.

While the number of safe attacks have dropped off, Guginsky said distraction thefts are still occurring all over the United States.

“Some of the groups have made their way back to Romania with the proceeds from everybody’s stores. We follow them on social media; we can tell what they’re doing. Some of the ones on our hit list are gone, but [distraction thefts groups are] still hitting,” he said.

Smash-and-grabs continue to be a problem as well, he said, noting that last year California alone saw 35 incidents and 16 vehicle smashes, meaning smash-and-grabs in which the perpetrators drove a car into the store.

Another concern is groups from Venezuela taking over jewelry stores by force, he said, with around four or five occurring this year. The incidents have been violent, with employees hog tied and zip tied by armed thieves.

Guginsky also noted that grab-and-runs remain one of the most common jewelry crimes. He warned against showing a customer too many items at once, lest they run out the door with some. nationaljeweler.com


Cargo Theft Concerns Rising
SmartSense: Cargo theft concerns continue to rise
SmartSense by Digi is releasing findings from its Cargo Theft Report, based on a survey of 150 U.S.-based loss and organized retail crime (ORC) prevention leaders.

“Cargo thieves have continued to escalate their tactics and expand their use of technology,” said Guy Yehiav, president, SmartSense. “Businesses need to evolve with it. New forms of instantaneous location tracking and visibility intelligence are needed to understand what normal movement looks like, identify anomalies quickly and act before suspicious activity turns into a multimillion-dollar loss.”

As organizations face increasingly sophisticated and diverse cargo crime threats, this study examines expert perspectives on the tactics driving cargo theft, the financial impact on businesses and the strategies leaders believe are most effective for reducing risk.

The findings reveal that cargo theft has become an increasingly coordinated and sophisticated threat. 81% of respondents report it has become more organized in recent years, while 79% say their organization is more concerned about cargo theft today than ever before.

Cargo theft is evolving rapidly. According to the survey, businesses are facing highly coordinated criminal networks that exploit vulnerabilities across the supply chain using increasingly sophisticated tactics. thetrucker.com


Self-Checkout Theft Crackdown
Major gas station chain cracking down at self-checkout as driver cuffed over scan
A gas station chain has proved it’s watching at self-checkout after a driver was cuffed over a scanning issue. She was accused of swiping $20 worth of goods after being nabbed by the police.

The incident unfolded at a Wawa in Linwood, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, after police were called over a reported retail theft. Officers were dispatched to the store on September 6 at around 12.31pm, according to Lower Chichester Township Police.

Employees told cops a customer had used the self-checkout kiosk but had only scanned and paid for some of the products. She then allegedly bagged additional merchandise worth $20.94 before leaving the store without paying for them.

The grading of the charge was based on her criminal history, with officers noting that Pennsylvania retail theft charges can be graded differently depending on a person’s previous offenses.

Wawa isn’t the only gas station chain installing self-checkout in its stores as another huge brand rolled out thousands of kiosks. the-sun.com


New Restaurant Theft Target
LA Restaurants Face Growing Grease Theft Concerns as Used Cooking Oil Gains More Commercial Value

Los Angeles restaurants should protect their used cooking oil by securing storage containers, monitoring pickup areas, and preventing unauthorized grease theft.

Used cooking oil has become a valuable commercial material rather than a waste product with no worth. Restaurants generate large amounts of used fryer oil every day, and the collected oil can have value depending on its quality and volume.

That value has also created a security concern for Los Angeles restaurants that store used cooking oil outside their kitchens before scheduled pickup. Unauthorized individuals can remove oil from these containers without the restaurant’s knowledge, sometimes leaving the theft unnoticed until staff find an empty, damaged, or disturbed container. For food businesses, losing a full container means losing recyclable material that could otherwise be collected through their regular grease management program and recycled into various useful goods.

As grease theft continues to draw attention, Los Angeles restaurants are encouraged to take practical steps to store and protect their used cooking oil, secure used cooking oil containers, monitor storage areas, and make sure only authorized grease haulers remove the oil. desmoinesregister.com

The Five-Minute Problem:
Small Delays Can Create Big Inefficiencies for Retail AP


By the D&D Daily Staff

Not every loss prevention challenge involves a major incident or an expensive new technology. Sometimes the problem is five minutes.

Five minutes waiting for a manager with the right key. Five minutes locating the correct camera view. Five minutes tracking down an outdated phone number. Five minutes figuring out who needs to receive an incident report.

None of those delays sounds particularly significant. Across hundreds or thousands of incidents, investigations and routine tasks, however, those minutes can become a substantial drain on an AP operation.

It's a form of operational friction that can be difficult to see because it rarely appears on a traditional loss prevention scorecard.

Retailers routinely measure shrink, incidents, apprehensions, safety events and other outcomes. Measuring how efficiently AP employees actually perform everyday tasks is more difficult. A process can technically work while still requiring unnecessary emails, phone calls, system logins or approvals.

The challenge becomes even greater for large retailers. Procedures can vary between locations, employee turnover can leave contact lists outdated and different systems may require AP teams to repeatedly enter or retrieve the same information.

Reducing that friction doesn't necessarily require another major technology investment. Retailers can start by examining the routine tasks AP employees perform most frequently and asking a simple question: Where are people consistently losing time?

Standardizing escalation procedures, keeping contacts current, simplifying reporting workflows and ensuring employees can quickly access the information they need can eliminate small delays before they multiply.

There is also a broader lesson for AP leaders. Productivity isn't only about asking teams to accomplish more. Sometimes it's about removing the obstacles that make existing work unnecessarily difficult.

Saving five minutes may not sound like an important loss prevention initiative. Multiply it across stores, employees and an entire year, though, and those five minutes start looking considerably more valuable.


Beyond the Front Gate:
Building a Perimeter Security Strategy That Works

Effective event security depends on more than detection technology. Integrated planning, layered screening, and trained personnel can strengthen protection while keeping people moving.

Security perimeter planning should start far from the main entrance to allow early threat detection and risk mitigation.

Integrating operational planning, detection technology, and trained K9 teams creates a multi-layered defense that addresses different security challenges.

Faster screening processes improve guest experience without compromising security, emphasizing the importance of staff training and operational efficiency.

Technology alone cannot cover all security gaps; complementary layers like K9 teams and secondary screening are essential for comprehensive protection.

A well-designed security operation focuses on early risk identification, accurate alarm resolution, and efficient movement of people, rather than just visible equipment.

The right plan answers three fundamental questions: How early can you identify risk? How accurately can you resolve an alert? And how efficiently can people enter the protected environment? If any one of those answers is weak, the entire operation is weakened. securityinfowatch.com


Costco tops expectations with increases in traffic, average ticket
The warehouse club giant’s traffic rose 3.3% worldwide, while the average ticket increased 5.9% during the quarter. Non-foods sales outpaced the overall business, while fresh departments, pharmacy, travel and digital channels all posted solid gains, company executives said on the earnings call. They said that the company spent some of the tariff refunds it received during the quarter into price reductions on certain items. chainstoreage.com

Beyond the ORC Arrest Numbers:
What the National ORC Blitz Tells Retailers


By the D&D Daily staff

The headline from the latest National Organized Retail Crime Blitz was hard to miss: more than 1,900 apprehensions and arrests during just nine days.

But for retail loss prevention teams, some of the most interesting numbers may be further down the results.

The operation, conducted Aug. 1-9, involved 84 law enforcement agencies across 32 states and 40 retail brands. More than $2 million in retail theft losses were recovered or prevented. Authorities also reported 42 cases involving controlled substances, six stolen vehicles and eight weapons.

Perhaps more significant for the longer-term fight against organized retail crime, however, were seven leads involving fencing — the resale of stolen merchandise.

That distinction matters. A coordinated blitz can put substantial enforcement resources around stores and produce large numbers of apprehensions. Disrupting an organized criminal enterprise requires investigators to go further, connecting individual thefts across stores and jurisdictions and identifying the people receiving, moving and reselling stolen merchandise.

Federal investigations have demonstrated the value of making those connections. In testimony before Congress, Homeland Security Investigations described one investigation in which RFID data linked nearly 2,000 recovered pairs of American Eagle jeans to 35 stores across 13 states. The seizure helped investigators identify another arm of the criminal organization in Utah and generate additional leads.

The national blitz demonstrates another important point: information collected at the store level can become more valuable when it is combined.

A single apprehension may look like an isolated retail theft. Shared across retailers and agencies, however, names, vehicles, merchandise, locations and other investigative information can reveal patterns that would otherwise remain invisible.

For LP and AP teams, that may be the bigger takeaway from the 1,900 arrests. The immediate enforcement numbers are significant, but the lasting impact will depend on how effectively the intelligence generated during those nine days is used to identify and disrupt the networks operating behind repeat retail theft.

"AI" is the most overused word in loss prevention right now. Here's a framework that cuts through it.

Many vendors are making claims about AI. Few agree on what it means, and fewer still can tell you where your own program actually stands. The Loss Prevention Maturity Model is a vendor-neutral framework that maps the evolution of LP technology across four stages (Devices, Analytics, AI, and Agentic AI), with clear criteria for each and an honest take on what's genuinely deployed today versus what's still marketing.

If you haven't yet, take the free self-assessment to benchmark your program against the model, or read the full whitepaper for the complete framework.

AGs Take Aim at AI Development
Attorney General James Calls on Congress to Protect Americans from Unchecked AI Development

Bipartisan Coalition of AGs Urge Congress to Immediately Establish a Comprehensive Regulatory Framework for AI Development

New York Attorney General Letitia James today led a bipartisan coalition of 25 other attorneys general in calling on Congress to immediately regulate the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. In a letter sent to Speaker Mike Johnson, Majority Leader John Thune, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Attorney General James and the coalition warn that reports of recent incidents demonstrate that unchecked AI development endangers Americans and poses a potential threat to our financial system, critical infrastructure, and national security. The coalition urges Congress to quickly pass substantive legislation to regulate the AI industry to ensure that development occurs at an intentional pace, incorporates safety and transparency by design, and maintains states’ ability to oversee the industry.

“Artificial intelligence may show great promise, but we have a duty to ensure that this technology does not risk Americans’ safety,” said Attorney General James. “In recent weeks, alarming reports of AI agents breaking containment have shocked the nation. My colleagues and I are calling on Congress to act swiftly to establish a regulatory framework for AI development to ensure this does not continue.”

On July 16, Hugging Face, an open-source library and repository, reported that it was being attacked by an unknown third party. Within a week, OpenAI admitted that the attack was waged by its AI agents, which escaped a testing environment and infiltrated Hugging Face using stolen credentials. OpenAI was aware of the agents’ capabilities and failed to monitor their activity or stop their exploits. The agents’ actions, if perpetrated by a human, would have constituted criminal conduct.

Following the Hugging Face incident, Anthropic and Meta also acknowledged their AI agents had entered the open web and performed dangerous and unlawful actions. This agent behavior has been known to the industry for years and is a direct result of their training. Through a practice called “reinforcement learning,” AI labs reward models’ achievement of goals and penalize unsuccessful attempts, leading models to take reckless measures to complete the tasks they are given.

These reports have led to some of the AI industry’s leading developers calling for regulation. OpenAI’s Chief Global Affairs Officer called for “mandatory, capability-based national AI safety regulation.” Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged the United States to lead international coordination of AI model development because this effort “will require government support.”

Attorney General James and the coalition are calling on Congress to take immediate action to ensure AI development does not lead to irreversible damage or further illegal behavior. ag.ny.gov


Even the Most Sophisticated Orgs Facing Attacks
FBI probes cyberattack tied to third-party jobs portal

The potentially serious breach highlights the supply chain risks facing even the most sophisticated organizations.

The FBI is investigating a cyberattack on its jobs portal after the cybercrime group ShinyHunters said it hacked the system and stole a vast trove of sensitive data from the bureau.

“The FBI is aware of a cyber-criminal enterprise group claiming a compromise of the FBIJobs.gov portal and alleged impact to FBI employee personally identifiable information (PII),” the bureau said in a statement on Wednesday. “While the point of breach is still undetermined—whether a third-party or the FBI’s enterprise—we are actively and aggressively investigating this matter and working closely with those third-party providers that support FBIJobs.gov to mitigate any and all risk.”

In a statement posted to its dark-web leaks site, ShinyHunters said it had stolen “very sensitive data on almost ALL FBI Agents and individuals who filed an application with the FBI for a job.” It listed several “FBI services” that it claimed to have hacked: “Criminal Justice (CJ), HR, Medlink, and more.”

ShinyHunters told 404 Media that it hacked into the jobs portal using a zero-day vulnerability in Oracle’s PeopleSoft human-resources platform, a tactic it has used before. The potentially wide-ranging breach highlights the supply chain risks facing organizations of all sizes and levels of sophistication. ShinyHunters specializes in supply chain attacks, and its intrusions have illuminated weaknesses in the security protocols at widely used software and infrastructure providers.

404 Media confirmed that a sample of stolen data provided by ShinyHunters included agents’ sensitive personal information. People familiar with the breach described it to Politico as a major counterintelligence failure that could lead to the harassment or stalking of FBI agents. Foreign governments could also use FBI employees’ personal data to monitor them and undermine their investigations and operations.

Cybercrime Costing Americans Billions
Americans lost over $20 billion to one type of crime. Here’s how we can fight it

Seniors over 60 accounted for $7.7 billion of losses, averaging $38,500 each, as social media scams surge

Almost all kinds of crime, from homicide to car theft, are down, according to the latest FBI data. That’s great news, but one type of less-reported crime is up — way up.

Americans reported losing $20.9 billion to internet-enabled crime in 2025, 26% higher than the year before and the highest figure ever recorded by the FBI. Folks over 60 reported $7.7 billion of it, averaging $38,500 apiece. The real toll is even higher, since the Federal Trade Commission notes that most victims never make a report. It’s clear more needs to be done to protect Americans from these crimes.

But many of the losses aren’t hacks where a firewall was breached or a password stolen. They’re scams where victims are persuaded to voluntarily send money to overseas bad actors. That’s an important distinction because a transfer that the customer has been convinced to make looks to every automated system in the chain like a legitimate one.

The fact that the money leaves the country should also inform government’s response. Treasury estimates Americans lost at least $10 billion in 2024 to scam operations in Southeast Asia, a 66% increase. These are sophisticated operations in Burma, Cambodia and Laos, many staffed by trafficked workers held in debt bondage or via violence. foxnews.com


Kosovar National Pleads Guilty to Operating Cybercrime Marketplace Offering Tools and Products to Cybercriminals


 




Amazon Welcomes Walmart In
Amazon Brings Walmart Orders Into Seller Central
Maybe that Amazon-Walmart rivalry isn’t so fierce after all. Amazon announced Thursday morning (Sept. 24) that it will let marketplace sellers manage orders and shipment tracking from eBay, Shopify, TikTok and Walmart inside Seller Central, extending its seller dashboard to the other places merchants do business.

According to several Amazon executives, sellers in its U.S. store will be able to connect accounts on those four platforms and bring listings and orders into one workspace. The rollout will be gradual and free to sellers. Amazon plans to add more channels and features over the coming months.

Walmart’s inclusion stands out: Amazon is inviting merchants to manage sales on a major retail rival from inside its own software. David Forsythe, Amazon’s VP of North America seller business, told PYMNTS the decision reflects how merchants already operate.

“For many of those sellers, Walmart is one of those channels,” Forsythe told PYMNTS. “We really believe that when sellers succeed across their entire business, they’re going to succeed on Amazon as well. This is just a reality of having multiple channels, and we want to support sellers across all those channels.”

More than 95% of independent sellers in Amazon’s store sell through multiple channels, according to the company. Those merchants drive more than 60% of sales in its store. Yet a seller who uses several platforms may have to check separate dashboards to find new orders, update product pages and track shipments. The new tools aim to put those jobs in one place. pymnts.com
 

Amazon Price Hikes Coming?
Amazon move could mean Prime price hikes are on the way
According to TheStreet, Amazon seems to raise Prime prices like clockwork every four years: It’s last hike in 2022 raised the membership’s cost by 17 percent, taking it from $119 to $139, CNBC then-reported. Before that, prices went up in 2018, and before that, in 2014.

But apart from the four-year pattern, there’s something Amazon did recently that’s caused some to ponder whether another hike is imminent in the United States: El Financiero reports that Amazon raised Prime prices by 30.3 percent in Mexico as of this past Monday, taking it from 99 pesos (roughly $5.66) to 129 pesos ($7.37). This is the first time ever the service has gotten a price increase in the country.

Amazon has also recently upped prices for other services: Fortune reported back in August that the company implemented a 60 percent hike across devices such as Echo smart speakers and Kindles in order to offset those ever-growing memory costs plaguing the tech industry. The price of Prime Video’s ad-free, 4K tier nearly doubled in April, according to The Verge.

A 2022 Amazon press release cited a “rising wages” as well as hefty transportation costs as the reason behind the last U.S. Prime membership cost increase. And given a recent wage increase for Amazon workers and the current price of gas — along with all the other factors mentioned in this article — it wouldn’t be too far off to expect another Prime cost hike is due.  cleveland.com

Sometimes the Best Sales Strategy Is to Shut Up


There’s a moment in a good customer conversation when the retailer starts telling you what the real problem is. This is not the moment to interrupt with Slide 37. Put the clicker down. Resist the urge. Listen. The answer to what they actually need may be completely different from what you came prepared to sell... and that’s usually where the interesting opportunity begins.
