Welcome to my corner of the web!
I am James Benson, the Assistant Director of Cloud Security & Privacy Research at the Institute for Cyber Security. With a deep-rooted passion for learning and a commitment to helping others achieve their best, I’ve been fortunate to lead groundbreaking initiatives in bridging theoretical research with practical applications since 2016. One notable success story from my tenure involves guiding a student whose research led to the development of a patent-worthy solution.
Through this website, I aim to share insights, resources, and experiences garnered from years of navigating the intricate landscape of cloud security and privacy research. Whether you’re a fellow researcher, student, or industry professional, I invite you to explore the wealth of knowledge available here and engage with me to further our collective understanding in this critical field.
Beyond my professional endeavors, you’ll often find me indulging in my love for nature through long walks, finding serenity at the piano keys, immersing myself in a good book, or exploring new interests. These pursuits not only rejuvenate me but also inspire fresh perspectives and creativity in my work.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to connecting with you on this journey of exploration and discovery!
