As Editorial Director, his position is Lord High for the content side of 
the magazine. His fuller bio appears at

        http://infosecuritymag.techtarget.com/briney-bio.shtml

The piece is op-ed (opinion editorial) similar to Safire or Novak. As such 
that column is meant to do everything but provoke apathy in the readership. 
So if you detect some bluster or overstatement, he is fulfilling the 
mission by giving his opinion (even if it is wrong).

Often stated in the educational biz, the student is left to solve the rest 
of the problem (is he qualified and is he full of bs).
