To effectively safeguard against identity attacks, organizations must address a range of use cases for both human and non-human identities, including but not limited to:
- Account Takeover Detection: Detect any of the numerous variants that indicate an identity has been compromised.

Retailers Must Implement Ironclad Loss Prevention Strategies
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
One of the biggest threats to retail profits is “shrink,” or preventable losses due to theft or human error. Retail shrink accounts for billions of dollars per year in lost revenue, so it’s in retailers’ best interests to have a comprehensive set of standards designed to avoid these losses.
The rise of retail organized crime, cyberattacks, and new methods of theft have made reducing shrink harder than ever for retailers. In order to be prepared for these modern threats, retail store owners and managers must have ironclad loss prevention strategies in place, as well as the tools to enforce them.

Security Guards Employ Body Cameras for Theft Prevention
Frank Costa, President Nexgen Protection Services –
Body cameras are just the latest in a slew of security measures retailers have taken, such as locking up products behind glass cases and removing self-checkout stations.
When people know that their actions are being recorded they tend to behave differently. The advertisement of body worn cameras in use can deter members of the public from behaving antisocially, abusively or aggressively.
Retailers are also working more closely with law enforcement and devoting more internal resources to investigating theft.
