Seasonal Asset Protection focuses on preventing theft and loss during peak shopping seasons, often in retail stores. Asset Protection Specialists have a broader role in ongoing security and loss prevention across various retail environments. While both roles require similar certifications and work in retail settings, Seasonal Asset Protection is more temporary and seasonal, whereas Asset Protection Specialists work year-round to safeguard assets.
