Ben Stewart

Ben has grown his security skill-set through years of high profile, complex development projects, primarily in the Financial Services industry. Building and securing systems responsible for large, regulated money movements, enabling secure code review processes and pipelines, and communicating objectives to internal and external stakeholders has led to a comprehensive understanding of application, network, and system security. He takes great pride in dissecting business logic flaws and subtle attack vectors that could lead to unexpected outcomes. Once a problem is identified, he works to ensure remediation is clear and understood by all parties. A self-taught learner with sharp attention to detail, he gets as much joy from teaching a new topic as he does learning it. Ben received his bachelor's degree from the University of Connecticut where he was a member and champion of the NCAA Men's Final Four team in 2011. That drive and competitive spirit was carried over into a career in cyber security that spanned Investment Banking, Private Equity, and consumer facing investment platforms including architecting, developing, and securing systems worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
