Loss prevention / asset protection

The role of retail loss prevention and asset protection continues to evolve and grow. Join your peers to learn more about timely issues like organized retail crime, workplace violence prevention, shrink and loss management, and other loss-related issues.

NRF PROTECT offers sessions tailored to specific roles, knowledge and responsibilities, with time to network and collaborate. Today’s retail threats require LP/AP leaders to expand their awareness and involvement beyond traditional areas of focus. At NRF PROTECT, you’ll work with cross-functional partners to explore holistic strategies and solutions that help you contribute to the larger cause of enterprise security risk prevention.

Digital and online fraud

In 2023, return fraud contributed $101 billion in overall losses for retailers. The potential for significant financial impact on retail companies of all sizes makes it imperative for leaders across different fields to understand digital fraud threats and work together to address them.

NRF PROTECT places an emphasis on this fast-evolving area of security risk. Hear from top industry experts on important topics such as how to recognize return fraud operations and act quickly to stop returns fraud and refund abuse.

Enterprise and global security risk management

Today’s risk environment is one of a multitude of threats that require a global enterprise risk approach. Enterprise security risk management is a mission-critical approach to identifying, mitigating and responding to threats that require cross-functional alignment against physical, digital and cyber risks impacting your brand across operational, financial, strategic and reputational threats. NRF PROTECT provides content that serves your organization’s ability to protect against a more holistic risk environment.

Leadership and cross-functional conversations

Taking place at the opening and closing of each day, Keynote Sessions offer broad lessons and new approaches to think differently in how you lead, develop as a professional and manage key issues impacting the entire NRF PROTECT audience. Whether your role is loss prevention, digital fraud or enterprise security risk management, our Keynote Speakers encourage diverse perspectives, foster collaboration, spark innovation and keep our industry moving forward.
