Leading AP forward: Owning the enterprise security risk agenda

In today’s rapidly shifting retail landscape, every challenge — whether financial, digital, in‑store, or online — ultimately comes down to one thing: risk. As the threat environment grows more complex, top LP and AP leaders must step forward, championing an enterprise security risk management mindset that expands far beyond traditional loss prevention. This session brings together four innovative leaders from diverse brands and retail environments to share how they are redefining what modern asset protection looks like. They’ll explore why earning — and using — a seat at the table is essential for shaping the systems that identify, assess, and mitigate risk across the enterprise. And they’ll reveal how becoming fully integrated partners within their organizations leads to stronger alignment, greater confidence, and smarter business outcomes.
