Jimmy Wylie is a malware analyst at Dragos, Inc., focused on threats to critical infrastructure. He was the lead analyst on several landmark cases, including PIPEDREAM—the first ICS attack utility belt; TRISIS—the first malware to target safety instrumented systems; and the analysis of historical artifacts from CRASHOVERRIDE—the first malware designed to disrupt breakers and switchgear in electric transmission substations.
With over 15 years of experience in reverse engineering and malware analysis, Jimmy has worked with multiple DoD contractors, applying skills in network analysis, memory forensics, and malware detection to counter national-level adversaries. He later developed and taught malware analysis courses to civilian and military professionals nationwide.
Jimmy has presented at SANS ICS Summit, S4, DEF CON, and RECON, sharing insights on ICS malware analysis and threat group capabilities. Outside of work, he enjoys board games, crossword puzzles, and testing the limits of his library card. Find him on LinkedIn, Mastodon (@mayahustle@infosec.exchange) and BlueSky (@mayahustle.com).
