About the Event

It is no exaggeration to say that critical infrastructure holds society together. When power, water or other essential resources are unavailable, the risk of disorder increases dramatically, while the ability to conduct law enforcement, homeland security and military operations is diminished. As a result, these sites are valuable targets to individuals and groups who seek to sow chaos and weaken the nation.

From vandals and criminals to accelerationists and other domestic violent extremists to nation-state actors, the threats, both physical and cyber, are varied and complex, producing a high demand for robust security measures. This virtual symposium will examine how the right people, processes and technology can mitigate risk and enhance resilience at critical infrastructure facilities.

Retail theft is no longer just about an occasional shoplifter. Organized retail crime (ORC) gangs now use smash and grab (or crash and grab) robberies and flash rob store invasions, as well as less dramatic tactics like return fraud and gift card fraud, to acquire products that quickly appear for sale online. The multivector ORC threat demands a robust security approach that encompasses both physical and digital defenses. This virtual symposium will examine how retailers can enhance loss prevention and mitigate shrinkage while, most importantly, protecting staff and customers from bad actors.
