In this episode of Securing the Win, host Calum Nicholas sits down with Matt Cadieux, Chief Information Officer at Oracle Red Bull Racing, to unpack how a world-championship team builds security into its digital backbone. Cadieux explains how the organization’s infrastructure now touches every corner of the business, from VR-led car design and factory systems to trackside decision room, and why resilience is a layered discipline, not a single tool. He shares lessons from real incidents, the balance between speed and control, and how culture turns “security” from an IT task into a team sport. We dive into device trust, identity (including passkeys), and the team’s collaborative partnership with 1Password, plus what it takes to stand up the Red Bull Powertrains program from scratch. For technology leaders, the throughline is clear: clarity of ownership, trusted access, and continuous learning are how you move fast without breaking what matters.
