Hi!

I'm Benjamin Bowman. I'm a Cybersecurity researcher and entrepreneur focusing on building technology leveraging Graph ML/AI for defensive cyber applications.

I'm currently cofounder and CTO of a cybersecurity startup Cybermonic where we are building tools for augmenting the cyber analyst workflow with graph AI.

I received a B.S. in computer engineering from the University of Maryland at College Park in 2013. After graduating, I spent 4 years working as a software engineer at AT&T Government Solutions developing cybersecurity products for industry and government partners. In 2017 I began my full-time pursuit of my PhD at George Washington University. I graduated from GWU in January of 2022 and founded Cybermonic.
