A senior faculty and former dean stated, ‘Adriana Sanford brought a level of class we seldom see here at Pepperdine; I hope we can see her at future Pepperdine events.’ The manner in which she artfully integrated her valuable professional experience with the key principles she was advising the graduates to consider was both incredible and inspiring.

Seldom do we find someone with such an intellect, communication skills, energetic work ethic, and moral values so effectively balanced in a single individual.”

"Adriana Sanford was the keynote speaker at the April 21, 2017 Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) CISO Forum in Washington, D.C. Dr. Sanford brilliantly addressed Chief Cyber Security Officers on Multijurisdictional Conflicts Under a New Security Landscape. She explained that the new landscape requires greater collaboration among governments and the private sector and that legal debates concerning personal data, encrypted communications, and mass government surveillance will continue to mount. As National security remains a concern - she discussed how governments are scrambling to protect their own interests in an inter-connected world—often at the expense of privacy and perhaps other individual freedoms. An audience grabber - Dr. Sanford addressed numerous questions and attendees expressed their desire to have additional talks by Dr. Sanford in the future!"
