Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Chapman is a seasoned information security leader with over two decades in IT and more than a decade focused on hands-on DFIR, currently managing Palo Alto Networks' Managed Threat Hunting team. He specializes in ransomware investigations—authoring SANS FOR528—and blends deep technical malware analysis with threat hunting and incident response leadership. A passionate educator and public speaker, he instructs for SANS, authors Pluralsight courses, and has presented at DefCon, BSides, and other major forums.

He pairs enterprise incident response experience from firms like Bechtel and BlackBerry/Cylance with a developer’s background and continuous-curiosity mindset. Outside work, his eclectic past (comedy and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu dropout) hints at a direct, engaging communication style that serves him well in high-pressure investigations and training.
