New era

There was once a time when people were saying Asian Security Review had great content, but the format was like a newsletter; those days are long gone. People nowadays pick up the magazine, enthralled by the look, before they relish the content.

There was also a period of time when people thought that Asian Security Review’s web site reflects the character of many in security – professional but a little bit conservative, or boring in layman’s terms.

This has become history as well – the new AsianSecurity.org web site is now officially launched. The idea of revamping our online presence was incepted a while ago, but talking to security professionals, staging events and training kept us really busy.

The web site is not just an online mirror of the magazine, it provides up-to-date physical and information security news from across the region and beyond, carefully categorised into different sections.

And it is more interactive, our editorial team will constantly update the blog space with latest thoughts, commentaries about security developments across the region and afield. You are welcome to comment on the posts and write to any of our journalists should you want your voice to be heard. Critics are especially welcome as only through that we make progress to serve you better. With the web site comes the e-newsletter, which comes out every week. You can sign up by clicking the ‘subscribe’ link on our home page.

And of course we wouldn’t let the web site take all the glamour – our team at Asian Security Review are working hard to revamp the design and the content of the printed Asian Security Review magazine.

You can also subscribe to the printed version of Asian Security Review via the same link.

And I believe the first issue of 2009, which comes out in early February, will be a pleasant surprise.

Happy (peaceful) New Year!
