"For me, it's all about working with people... at the end of the day, you want to work in a place where you can trust other individuals, you can get to know other individuals, and being personable with one another makes an organization great to work for," Raven David tells ISACA.

In this Industry Spotlight episode, we meet Raven David, Cyber Risk and Governance Manager for The University of New South Wales (UNSW).

Fascinated with technology at an early age, the native Australian recalls that he spent part of his childhood disassembling computers and putting them back together to understand better how they worked. This passion led him on a fantastic life journey and set him on a path to dominate the industry as a risk management, governance, compliance, assurance, and emerging technologies expert.

Raven talks about his less traditional educational and career track. While working full-time, he managed a full-time class schedule simultaneously, to a career that allowed him to establish and manage a cyber risk and compliance team within a corporation of 5,000+ employees.

Listen as Raven recaps the success of his cybersecurity awareness program, gives thoughtful advice to the next generation of young professionals, and discusses his current self-educating project, 3D printed chess set with Arduino-powered actuators and a Python chess engine. 

As an active contributor to ISACA and the ISACA Sydney Chapter, Raven recently volunteered, mentored, and led the 2021 Oceania Conference Taskforce and is currently a CRISC Certification Working Group.

In this ISACA Industry Spotlight episode, get to know the next-gen cybersecurity leader, Raven David.

Is Privacy a commodity? This episode explores the future direction of privacy and the demise of privacy in the digital age. Could privacy become something that people cannot afford, creating a two-tier system of internet users — those who can afford privacy and those who cannot?

Join ISACA’s Performance Based Training Engineer, Collin Beder as he speaks with Tom Schneider, Senior Associate of Proactive Advisory for Cyber Defense Labs as they discuss Tom’s recently released article “Ensuring that Cybersecurity is Everyone’s Job”.  Employees expect to focus on the responsibilities that are communicated to them, for example in their job descriptions. If cybersecurity and privacy responsibilities are not documented in job descriptions, then it is likely that staff will assume that cybersecurity is not a primary responsibility for them because management did not consider it significant enough to include. Collin and Tom will delve into these topics and why keeping cybersecurity on everyone’s mind will be better in the long run.
