Grainger appointed Mark Lohman as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).

Lohman joined Grainger in 2014 as senior director of information security and business continuity. Since then, he has helped establish the company’s cybersecurity. The new appointment formalizes Lohman’s CISO role with Grainger, which includes functioning as the company’s HIPAA Security Officer.

Prior to joining Grainger, Lohman spent more than 20 years leading and training security teams, managing incident response issues and improving security for large global companies in the aerospace and defense, energy, financial services and healthcare industries.

“Mark has decades of experience in information security, and we are excited to announce his new role as Chief Information Security Officer,” said Greg Harman, Grainger Vice President and Chief Information Officer.

“Cyber threats are constantly evolving at the same time our company information must become more accessible and mobile for our customers, suppliers and team members. This means companies need to prioritize vigilance and awareness to realize information security.” Web: Grainger.com
