Founder
& CEO, Loptr LLC and Lowkey Software LLC
A long-time security consultant and entrepreneur, Dave
Newell is the CEO and founder of Loptr LLC and Lowkey Software LLC. In 2013, Newell
started Loptr to make it easier for organizations to get their information
security processes done. He believed that even client teams without security
expertise could have a working information security program with the right
building blocks and a helping hand. Dave crafted Virtual Security Team (VST) to
that end, and he is an integral part of the team that helps Loptr’s clients get
information security work done.
In early 2018, he launched Lowkey Software to help organizations plan, implement, operate,
and monitor their overall security and compliance programs in a SAAS platform. Today,
more than 8,000 VSC licenses are sold to workforce members in industries
ranging from finance to healthcare, manufacturing, non-profit, legal,
agriculture, retail, and insurance.
Additionally, Dave is a highly sought-after guest
lecturer on cybersecurity, entrepreneurship, and start-up businesses, and has
been featured numerous times in Western New York media as an industry expert. For
two years running (2015-2016), Loptr was a semifinalist in the 43North global
competition, one year before Dave was named as a finalist in the Entrepreneur
of the Year category of InfoTech WNY’s BETAS (Buffalo Emerging
Technology Awards Showcase.) The same year Loptr was recognized as a finalist Best
Emerging Tech Company. He has authored numerous papers, including
“Putting Risk Back Into Risk Analysis” and “Identifying Security Weaknesses in
Your Enterprise,” both published in ISACA’s Cybersecurity Nexus “Knowledge
& Insights” section.
Dave is a former US Air Force officer who served in
the Pentagon’s 7th Communications Group, and he previously co-founded Crave
Technology in Denver, Colorado. He earned his bachelor’s in computer
systems/mathematics.
