Taylor Hersom

Taylor Hersom builds world-class security programs for organizations who not only want to embrace cybersecurity but want to realize the benefits of putting data privacy first- from brand recognition to customer loyalty- while realizing substantial ROI. He was a security & compliance expert with Deloitte followed by a CISO for a technology firm where he built a security program from the ground up - catching the entrepreneurial bug. He has a keen understanding of cybersecurity & compliance as it relates to the next generation of companies who are predominantly de-centralized and cloud-centric. He serves as the security thought leader for multiple organizations globally and also as a Board Advisor for various startups. Taylor resides in Austin, TX and enjoys hiking with his four dog monsters, is never far from a book (or an entire stack), and is an avid connoisseur of lattes, which you can usually find him sipping in meetings.
