The new AP/LP paradigm How retail complexity is transforming loss prevention, corporate risk, and asset protection

Today’s retail landscape is growing more complex, driving a profound shift in which asset protection professionals face both unprecedented opportunity and escalating challenges. The nature of risk itself is changing — retail domains are converging, and loss is expanding well beyond the singular metric of shrink. In this environment, traditional approaches to asset protection are no longer enough. This session brings a global perspective from two points of view on how organizations should be rethinking and rebuilding for greater efficiency and resiliency. Attendees will gain insight into total retail loss across organizational domains, alongside real-world strategies for executive risk management and enterprise security at scale. A key focus will be how artificial intelligence is reshaping retail risk: from predictive analytics, real‑time threat detection, and proactive intervention, to enhance both profit and business resiliency.
