“We are thrilled to have Derrick join our board,” said Mike Kelly, CEO of ProcessBolt. “Derrick has been consistently recognized for his expertise in cybersecurity in the healthcare sector and across various public sector organizations, including the U.S. Army and National Security Agency. Derrick is an extraordinary leader and his experience will help us execute on our mission of making it efficient and cost-effective to protect against the various evolving threat vectors in the third-party risk space.”
Prior to joining Orlando Health in 2019, Derrick spent six years as the chief information security officer (CISO) at Cape Fear Valley Health System, in Fayetteville, N.C. He launched his career as a cybersecurity professional more than 20 years ago when he was proudly serving in the U.S. Army. During that 23-year tenure, Derrick held positions ranging from combat medic to signal officer and led soldiers in four combat operation deployments. He also holds the distinguished honor of working at the National Security Agency, U.S. Cyber Command, and U.S. Special Operations Command, for which his responsibilities included protecting the U.S. against cyber threats.
“Effective vendor risk management is more important now than ever for hospitals as supply-chain related breaches are directly impacting patient care,” said Derrick Lowe. “I have seen the limitations of existing vendor risk management technology. Disparate software solutions focusing on point-in-time risk assessments or continuous monitoring are simply insufficient in today’s dynamic and evolving risk environment. ProcessBolt’s approach to vendor risk management fully integrates AI-driven assessment automation with continuous attack surface monitoring and offers an application of AI to provide additional verification of vendors’ security postures. I am excited to join the ProcessBolt board of directors and look forward to contributing my expertise to the company.
Derrick has earned noteworthy honors for his professional and military accomplishments. On the military end, they include the Bronze Star Medal, for heroic or meritorious achievement/service in a combat zone, the Defense Meritorious Service and Joint Service Commendation Medals for meritorious achievement. Also, in 2023 he was a nominee for the Orlando Business Journal Veterans of Influence Award, which recognizes veterans for significant career achievements, a strong record of innovation or outstanding performance in their work, and community involvement.
Becker’s recognition of Derrick as one of only 60 executives for its “Hospital and Health System CISOs and CPOs to Know” list for 2023 places him among an esteemed list of CISOs and chief privacy officers who lead cybersecurity initiatives for health systems and hospitals nationwide.
