The question is this. Is this skepticism based on fact or as a result of that well-established human trait – resistance to change?

Mohammed Murad

Multiple retail organizations are also reporting an increase in shoplifting attempts and point of sale shrink since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak. In times like these, as a rise in theft, burglaries and other disturbances are expected, security is more important than ever.
