About Vijeesh Mohandas

I am a cybersecurity and risk management leader with over 21 years of experience helping organizations build resilient, secure, and scalable technology environments. My career has been centered around enabling businesses to operate securely while driving innovation, particularly in complex and highly regulated industries. Currently, I serve as Senior Manager – Information Security Portfolio Management at Oracle Cerner Healthcare Solutions India Pvt Ltd, where I lead strategic security initiatives supporting critical healthcare infrastructure. My focus is on building strong security programs that protect sensitive data, strengthen governance, and enable organizations to navigate the evolving threat landscape with confidence. Throughout my career, I have successfully built and scaled security teams, operational functions, and governance frameworks that align security strategy with business priorities. Some of the initiatives I have led include: • Building an Information Security function from scratch with global operational coverage • Creating Security Architecture and Security Automation teams to improve operational efficiency and accelerate security maturity • Leading large-scale IT infrastructure transition and M&A programs, including the seamless migration of thousands of users and hundreds of critical systems without business disruption • Implementing enterprise Information Security and Human Risk Management programs aligned with regulatory and industry standards My areas of expertise include cybersecurity governance, enterprise risk management, security operations, cloud security, security architecture & IAM. I am particularly interested in advancing human risk management and security culture, as technology alone cannot solve today’s cybersecurity challenges. I hold several industry-recognized certifications including CISM, CCSK, CompTIA Security+, and SANS Security Awareness Professional. I am currently pursuing advanced certifications in AI Governance and Certified Information Privacy Manager (CIPM) to deepen my expertise in emerging technology governance and privacy management. Beyond technology, I strongly believe that effective cybersecurity leadership is about influencing culture, building trust, and enabling organizations to innovate securely. I am always interested in connecting with professionals who are passionate about cybersecurity leadership, risk governance, security culture transformation, and emerging technology risks.
