ABOUT BEN

Ben Wilcox is the Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Security Officer at ProArch. With over 25 years in technology, Ben's career spans architecting enterprise solutions, cybersecurity strategy, compliance, and driving meaningful business transformation.

Dual-Role Leadership

At ProArch, Ben wears two critical hats. As CTO, he searches for opportunities on the tech horizon to help optimize and secure operations. As CISO, he takes a proactive, hands-on approach to compliance and cybersecurity, ensuring every decision strengthens the foundation of the business.

Security Philosophy

"Security isn't just about defending against threats — it's about enabling trust, protecting growth, and ensuring every decision we make strengthens the foundation of the business." Ben's insatiable appetite for architecting technology solutions that solve real business challenges drives everything he does.

Beyond the Office

When not architecting security solutions, Ben races cars with the Northeast Audi Club, teaches racing instruction, and enjoys gardening and cooking with his family. His precision on the track mirrors his approach to cybersecurity — calculated risk, rapid response, and relentless focus.
