Patrick Taylor
CEO

Patrick Taylor is recognized as a thought leader in the convergence of controls monitoring, information security and the implementation of technology to boost corporate governance. As CEO of Oversight Systems, he is responsible for understanding customer needs for operational governance and making sure those needs are met in the company’s product development. Taylor recognized that most IT security and financial system controls focus on user access and role management, but do not 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, he launched Oversight to pioneer the concepts and technology for continuous transaction monitoring (CTM).

Taylor has spoken at several compliance and audit industry conferences, 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 (ISS) and Symantec, he has also presented at such events as RSA, Networld+Interop, COMDEX, NetSec and the Goldman Sachs Information Technology Conference.

In addition to his previous experience with ISS and Symantec, Taylor has also worked in key roles with Oracle, Red Brick Systems, GO, Air2Web and Fast-Talk. He received a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with honors from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and a master’s degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration.
