From reading a book about cloud security after his deployment at a naval base in Naples to becoming the Senior Vice President and CISO for Oracle SaaS Cloud Security, our guest today, David Cross, unpacks traveling technology and how to best tackle compliance in 2023.
He’s traveled 69 countries and intends to travel to many more; he relates it to compliance, understanding the world, and it’s different cultures, just like you need to understand what your organization needs, and how you need to adapt and navigate your business forward.
When it comes to security compliance, he believes communication is critical, it’s the only way to create successful teams, and ensure your organization can stay compliant and secure.
“The thing with security compliance and single source of truth is that music beat that people can align to, when there’s ambiguity, uncertainty and confusion, you always want to have a pillar in a source of truth” - David Cross
From running races to ensuring audit requirements are met, David Cross believes in ensuring you’re always ready to fight, you have your framework principles in place, and it’s not a last minute rush on the eve of the audit, because you’re preparing year round so when you actually have the audit, all things are covered.
