Benjamin Gereon Bailey is an Arizona-based cybersecurity and systems analyst with more than two decades of experience spanning higher education and healthcare. He currently serves as a Senior Cybersecurity Analyst at Arizona State University, helping protect research, student, and enterprise systems in one of the nation’s largest public universities.
Before focusing full-time on cybersecurity in higher ed, Benjamin worked in clinical technology at Mayo Clinic, where his systems analysis experience included work with radiology and imaging environments—giving him a rare, cross-sector perspective on safeguarding mission-critical systems that support both patient care and academic research.
Benjamin’s engineering-first foundation was built internationally: a partial BEng in Electronic Engineering & Software Design from the University of the West of England, Informatics studies Pre-Diploma at Universität Hamburg, and a foundation year in Engineering/Electronics at the University of Bath; earlier, he completed A-levels at the British School of Bruxelles. This blend of hardware, software, and systems training underpins his practical, “secure-by-design” approach to modern IT and cyber risk.
Selected career highlights:
- Advanced the cybersecurity posture of a major R1 university by supporting enterprise-scale defenses and collaborating with researchers and IT partners.
- Brought healthcare-grade reliability practices from radiology systems into broader information-security work, improving resilience in complex environments.
- Bridges European engineering education with U.S. operational experience to deliver pragmatic security outcomes in regulated settings.
