What this move signals
Nevada announced the hire of Bertrum Carroll, a retired Army lieutenant colonel, as its new chief information security officer on March 30, 2026. Carroll most recently spent eight and a half years at the workers' compensation insurer Employers, where he was CISO and a vice president.
He replaces Bob Dehnhardt, who retired in May 2025, several months before a ransomware attack disrupted many of the state's operations. Nevada went without a permanent security chief through that incident; Carroll inherits the recovery.
