Ben Jones is the Co-Founder and former CEO of Searchlight Cyber. Ben started his career in defense and aerospace as an engineer designing unmanned aircraft. He transitioned into cybersecurity after recognizing the evolution of warfare towards virtual battlefields and the rapid growth of cyber threats to nations, organizations, and individuals. Searchlight launched in 2017 to help governments and law enforcement protect society from criminal threats across the dark, deep, and clear web. The company has since been involved in some of the world's largest dark web investigations and has now brought that same attacker intelligence and exposure management to enterprise security teams. As a strategic advisor, Ben supports the global cybersecurity firm in driving its commercial growth internationally and the development of its preemptive threat exposure management platform – equipping security teams with the visibility to neutralize threats before they become attacks.
