I’m Jason Trapp, a senior Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) specialist with 5+ years investigating ransomware, business email compromise, cloud compromises, and advanced threat actor activity across Australian and New Zealand organisations.
I’m a member of the GIAC Advisory Board and hold 9 GIAC certifications spanning incident response, cloud forensics, intrusion analysis, forensic examination, security architecture, and security leadership.
My work has involved responding to significant incidents affecting national healthcare providers, financial institutions, and critical infrastructure across the Australia and New Zealand region. I’ve published technical research on malware analysis, vulnerability advisories, and threat intelligence through Triskele Labs and independently, and contributed to the State of Cyber DFIR Report, an annual analysis of incident trends across 200+ real-world engagements.
I created DFIR Decoded to share original research, case studies, and technical analysis from real investigations which are written for practitioners who want depth, not surface-level summaries.
Currently pursuing a Master of Science in Information Security Engineering at the SANS Technology Institute.
