Patrick Taylor - CEO
Mr. Taylor is recognized as a leader in the convergence of controls monitoring, information security and
the implementation of technology to boost corporate governance. As CEO of Oversight Systems, Patrick is
responsible for understanding customer needs for operational governance and making sure those needs are
met in Oversight's product development. Patrick recognized that most IT security and financial system
controls focus on user access and role management but don't address the need to understand the integrity of
what people do in their authorized roles and activities. After speaking with executives from across the
country, Patrick launched Oversight Systems to pioneer the concepts and technology for transaction
integrity monitoring.
As a thought leader in continuous monitoring, Patrick has spoken at several compliance and audit industry
conferences from organizations, such as the Institute of Internal Auditors and the Association of Certified
Fraud Examiners. As a respected information security industry insider who served in various product
management and strategic marketing roles with Internet Security Systems and Symantec, Patrick is a frequent
speaker at conferences, such as RSA, Networld + Interop, Comdex, NetSec and the Goldman Sachs Information
Technology Conference.
In addition to his previous experience with ISS and Symantec, Patrick worked in leading roles with ORACLE,
Red Brick Systems, GO, Air2Web and Fast-Talk. Patrick has a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with honors
