Career path

CSO Online reported the appointment of Carroll as CISO at Georgia Southern University in its September 2026 roundup of new CISO appointments. CSO Online filed that announcement under its Identity and Access Management coverage area. The same CSO Online article also listed new CISO appointments at payments, financial services and technology companies, including Pavilion Payments, Plaid, Toast, Tradeweb, First American, Farmers & Merchants Bank of Long Beach and Luma Financial. Georgia Southern University's IT Services department lists Carroll as the named contact for its Office of Information Security. The university also maintains a separate administrative team page for the Chief Information Officer's office within IT Services, on which it states that cookies are used to help the site run smoothly and to support certain functions for visitors.

Remit

The Office of Information Security's contact page invites visitors to reach out for questions, support, or to report a concern, directing general security inquiries to security@georgiasouthern.edu alongside Carroll's own listing as contact. The office also coordinates mandatory cybersecurity training for all Georgia Southern University employees, including student workers, during April and October of each year, to maintain compliance with University System of Georgia cybersecurity awareness requirements. For the 2026 cycle, that training opened on March 30, 2026 and was due to be completed by April 24, 2026, with each session taking about 20 minutes to finish. Staff who do not complete the training within that window risk losing access to Georgia Southern systems and services. The security office's page also directs technology assistance requests to a MyHelp ticketing system or other contact methods.
