Frantz is the Director of Information Security and Cyber Threat Defense at Synovus. Knox, a former TSYS School Nexus student, is IAM Engineer at Synovus. Frantz earned an A.D. in avionic systems technology from the Community College of the Air Force in 2011. That same year he completed the B.S. degree in from the University of Phoenix.  In 2013, Frantz earned an MBA from the University of Phoenix, which he followed up a year later by earning a second A.D.

Frantz and Knox spoke to the Turner College students about Zero Trust Security. The visit was summed up aptly by Patrick Aiken, the Director of the Turner College's TSYS Center for Cybersecurity, "It's cool to see former students like Joseph and Ben come back and mentor those coming behind them, . . . sharing current events and concepts."
