“Leadership often varies in form and technique, but a leader’s influence remains unparalleled”
The foundations of any organization are largely shouldered by the grit and intellect of an efficient leader. Being au fait with the contemporary trends of technology, devising all-encompassing business strategies, maintaining a prolific approach, and possessing the quality of delegation, aids in precise sculpting of an ideal business leader. Exemplifying these traits of a business leader is Dr. Bin Xie, the CEO and Founder of InfoBeyond Technology LLC (www.infobeyondtech.com).
Dr. Xie grew up in a small mountain village with his parents and grandmother in China. As a child he often trekked between the mountains; this grew in him a spirit of perseverance. He discovered his boundless passion for technology innovation during his college studies. After graduating, a driven Dr. Xie packed up his belongings and moved to the United States to further his Ph.D. study in his new-found passion. He manifested his fervor for IT innovation by authoring three books and 70+ publications.
Not being satisfied with early-stage research alone, Dr. Xie took another leap forward. By leveraging his passion, he shifted his focus on developing cutting-edge solutions as an entrepreneur. Starting from a tiny office in 2008, InfoBeyond’s enthusiasm and dedication have propelled into motion by solving critical challenges in Cybersecurity and Intelligence. Since its inception, InfoBeyond has been recognized by the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, National Institute of Standards & Technology, and large enterprises for its efforts.
The organization’s team has doubled every two to three years and is supported by millions of dollars per year. Dr. Xie has recently been honored for Significant Contributions in Advancing Quality, Reliability, and Security by IEEE Communication Society in 2018.

Security Policy Tool has been awarded the 2017 Innovative Security Solution Award at the Big Data and SDN/NFV Summit and also featured as a NIST SBIR Success Story due to its pivotal value for security professionals.
The joy of streaming graph big data is at highest when previously hidden insights become visible in a real-time fashion. To accomplish this, InfoBeyond explores and utilizes graph embedding, machine learning, graph theory, and data streaming technologies. A software tool, EStreaming, has been deployed for military big data graph applications. InfoBeyond is also excited to provide innovations using fragmentation, moving target defense, cryptography, distributed storage, learning, intelligence, and other advanced technologies.
