Bourget Bourget is a cybersecurity entrepreneur and CEO of Blue Cycle with 12 years of experience building automation-first tooling for Blue Teams and SOCs. He blends hands-on engineering—contributing to open-source projects like StackStorm and msg-extractor—with executive leadership and a track record founding and scaling security firms such as Syncurity. Based in Rochester, NY, he couples an MS in Computer Security with deep DevOps and SOAR expertise, automating response workflows “one API and one commit at a time.” An active mentor, advisor, and investor in the cyber ecosystem, he advises startups and accelerators while serving on boards and mentoring founders. Notably, his contributions to StackStorm improved backend reliability and error handling, reflecting a pragmatic focus on operability and user-facing documentation. He’s equally at home writing install guides as he is architecting automated remediation for real-world incident response.
