Global Electronic Security Forum Magazine

September Issue

As emerging technologies continue to reshape the electronic security industry, the legislation governing them is beginning to take shape as well. For industry professionals, the time to enter those conversations is not after a problematic bill has been introduced—but while the policy itself is still being written.

In this month's Top Right Drawer, Taylor Criddle, Vice President of Advocacy and Public Affairs for the Electronic Security Association, examines why the industry must take a more proactive role in shaping the policies that will affect its future. Drawing upon the SECURE Act as an example, Taylor illustrates what can be accomplished when industry leaders identify a challenge, help develop a practical solution, and bring that framework directly to policymakers. As lawmakers turn their attention toward artificial intelligence, biometrics, privacy, workplace surveillance, and data use, Taylor makes a compelling case that the industry's technical expertise and real-world experience must be part of the discussion from the beginning.

The goal is no longer simply to defeat bad legislation—it is to help write better legislation.
