TEMPERATURE TEST:

Emerging Security Technologies

For this temperature test, we asked brand protection professionals whether they are considering

  • Taggant or forensic markers, which use chemically or physical encoded materials to establish a unique identify of a product
  • Blockchain, a public or private digital ledger created with cyptography and typically shared peer-to-peer, that keeps a time-stamped, in-sync record of each transaction of a product’s life
  • Artificial intelligence enabling digesting of vast amounts of varying data types and making appropriate comparisons, allowing for the development of algorithms for determining product authenticity.

The holiday season saw the increased use of “bots” to buy-up inventory of goods online and then resell them on popular platforms. Did this cause you to increase enforcements?
