Ross Young is currently the CISO at Caterpillar Financial Services, the bank behind the massive construction manufacturer. Prior to Caterpillar, Ross spent 2 years as a Divisional CISO at Capital One as well as over 10 years with the US government at organizations like the CIA, NSA, and Federal Reserve Board. 

On today's show, Ross and I explore his early desire to be a CISO and discuss how his career in the government and more recent shift to the private sector has enabled him to be an effective security leader. More specifically, Ross and I discuss one of the primary roles of the CISO which is maintaining the appropriate balance of security with enabling developers and the business to innovate. Ross and I dig into this and talk about strategies he's used to find a healthy balance throughout his career.
