An interview by Erin Harris with Jeremy Brecher, VP of technology for electronic security, Diebold

Asset protection and loss prevention teams should leverage the Internet of Things to promote safety and security throughout the retail enterprise.

If you’re not yet familiar with the Internet of Things (IoT), the term refers to Internet-enabled devices that can network and communicate with each other and the cloud, forming intelligent systems that gather and quickly analyze millions of bits of data. As retail customers engage with intelligent devices, retailers can use Big Data analytics to drive a more personalized shopping experience for consumers. Jeremy Brecher, VP of technology for electronic security at Diebold, explains what IoT means for loss prevention/asset protection in retail.
