COO
Cyber Dive
Derek Jackson is a former military intelligence professional turned tech entrepreneur, driven by a mission to protect the vulnerable. After five years analyzing threats in information warfare, he shifted from defending national security to safeguarding his own children from digital dangers. As a father, Derek saw how easily kids can be manipulated online through harmful content, isolation, and coercion. In response, he co-founded Cyber Dive with Jeff Gottfurcht—a company committed to making the internet safer for kids and less stressful for parents. By merging insights from military intelligence with real-time technology, Derek helps develop tools that foster safety, connection, and trust within families. Today, he leads with the same focus and clarity that shaped his service—now, the mission is personal, and the battlefield is digital.
