6 SECURIT Y TECHNOLOGY E XECUTIVE • Februar y/March 2018 • www. SecurityInfoWatch.com MY POINT OF VIEW By Steve Lask y, Editorial Director • slasky@Southcomm.com Steve Lasky If you have any comments for Steve regarding this or any other securit y industry-related issue, please e-mail him at slask y@southcomm.com. I t has been a tradition at Security Technology Executive magazine over the last 28 years to rely on trusted advisors to help steer the edito- rial direction of the publication, and in general, provide expertise where it was needed, either in print, online or conference. I have had the good fortune to be blessed with industry gurus and men- tors who have helped me learn and appreciate the dynamics of security and risk and how each relates to organizational survival and stability. As we publish our first magazine of 2018 I want- ed to introduce our new Editorial Advisory Board. The seven new members join our foundation advi- sors and regular contributors Ray Bernard and Ray Coulombe. This new Board will help set the course of what you see in the magazine this year through 2019. The security industry is evolving not only from a technology perspective but through compliance and regulatory restriction as well. Our team of con- sultants, engineers and end users will help the STE editorial staff create a technology and management roadmap for topics that will ensure our audience is equipped to meet all challenges.
