Ben has extensive experience managing information security programs with the federal government, both abroad and in the continental US. His experiences with the government are broad, encompassing all domains of security as he managed physical access to information resources in forward deployed war zones to encrypting transmissions between nation states to actively monitoring and responding to attempted intrusions from foreign entities to developing written information security policies that include the appropriate use of thermite grenades to destroy classified information.
