Rachel Guinto is a seasoned risk and cybersecurity professional located in Canada. Her diverse experience spans two decades encompassing roles in operations, governance, and risk management. Her career across multiple areas of information security started several years after graduating from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Arts in political science. She took an unconventional path to cybersecurity starting first in the production department of a print advertising company followed by editorial roles at a tourism magazine. As the internet quickly gained in popularity, Rachel adapted and pivoted to the digital world as a web content producer for the financial portal of an organization's women focused website.
Due to the collapse of the dotcom era, the website she worked for was cancelled and departments downsized. With extra time on her hands, Rachel continued to pursue opportunities in the digital space and enrolled in an accelerated program at Centennial College for Applied Arts and Science, earning a diploma in computer programming. The program required completion of an internship and as luck would have it, she landed a role in the information security department of a Canadian bank. This internship led to Rachel's first full-time position since transitioning to a new career path. From there, her journey expanded over time across many security domains including roles in access management, assessment, and assurance, hardening validation and vulnerability management.
After several years as a security advisor for internal projects, Rachel navigated multiple management roles at two Canadian banks leading teams in customer identity, cryptographic infrastructure operations and architecture, metrics reporting, application development and support, and enterprise security standards and regulatory management. These diverse experiences led to her appointment as a CISO with a provincial government agency, followed by a role at Manulife in the second line of defense where she is currently the Associate Vice President (AVP) of Information Risk Management.
Rachel is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), a Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), and active in the industry and community. She is a member of the Advisory Council of York University’s Cloud Computing Strategy, and the standards review committee of the CIO Strategy Council. Rachel volunteers her time with (ISC)² having presented the Cyber Safety and Education material to parents and students and participated in CISSP exam development. She is also often a speaker and panelist at various IT and security conferences, and post-secondary institutions. Somewhere in between all these engagements, Rachel also manages a household of three active children and an energetic labradoodle.
