Steve Lasky

Steve Lasky has been a professional journalist for 45 years and a 35-year veteran of the security media industry and a multiple-award-winning journalist. He is currently the Group Content Director for the Endeavor Business Security Media Group, the world’s largest security media entity, serving more than 190,000 security professionals in print, interactive and events. It includes Security Executive, Security Business and Locksmith Ledger International magazines, and SecurityInfoWatch.com, the most visited security web portal in the world (www.securityinfowatch.com).

Steve helped launch two of the industry's premier end-user publications over the last three decades. Since the early 2000s, his editorial vision has created the first serious buzz about the convergence of physical and logical security – not only from a technology standpoint, but also from an enterprise business management perspective. Dealing with real issues like compliance, metrics, and business drivers for security, Security Executive magazine is a top read for both the CSO and CISO communities.

Steve was a 26-year member of ASIS and served on the ASIS Physical Security Standing Committee for nine years. He has also been instrumental in several successful peer-to-peer events, including Secured Cities, SecureWorld Expos, and Global Security Operations 2010 (GSO 2010) conferences. In 2007, Steve was awarded the International Association of Professional Security Consultants' annual Charles A. Sennewald Award for Distinguished Service to the security industry. Steve is in demand as a moderator and speaker at security events around the country.

He is a former editor and writer with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Marietta Daily Journal, and Tampa Times and a correspondent for WEDU in Tampa, Florida. Steve is a graduate of the University of South Florida in Tampa and did his post-graduate work at Nicholls State University.
