About JASON WOOD

My Mission

I help people protect their businesses against the adversary through training and strategic consultations.

Information security is not an end to itself. It is about protecting organizations against adversaries who intend to disrupt operations, extort money, steal intellectual property, or inflict other harm on us. Unfortunately, our adversaries are skilled and motivated, so we must be just as skilled and focused to protect our businesses. My job is to help you in that mission.

My Story

My career began as a systems administrator, but security was already on my mind from the beginning. After several years, I moved to working solely in information security. My background includes being a trainer and course author, a penetration tester, performing threat hunting, and working as a security researcher. I managed a team of consultants and was part of growing security consulting company.

I enjoy being involved in the community and helping others in the security field. I have been a co-host on the Security Weekly News podcast for seven years. I also enjoy speaking at conferences and meeting with other security and technology professionals.

I am a strong believer in training and education, whether formal or informal. Reading and testing new technologies out is something I have done throughout my career. My formal education includes:

 

  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science
    • California Lutheran University, 2007
  • Master’s of Science in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance
    • Western Governors University, 2025
  • Graduate Certificate in Penetration Testing
    • SANS Technology Institute, 2023 
  • Credential of Readiness (CORe) from
