James Trappett
James Trappett's security research encompasses vulnerability discovery, CVE analysis, penetration testing methodologies, and the intersection of AI with cybersecurity. The focus is on understanding how systems fail and how to build more resilient defences.
Systematic analysis of known vulnerabilities (CVEs) in web applications and server software. Setting up controlled test environments to reproduce, understand, and document security flaws for educational and defensive purposes.
CVEVulnerability AnalysisWeb SecurityResponsible DisclosureResearch into modern penetration testing techniques, tools, and frameworks. Developing systematic approaches to security assessment that combine automated scanning with manual analysis.
Penetration TestingRed TeamSecurity AssessmentOWASPInvestigating how artificial intelligence can be applied to both offensive and defensive cybersecurity. Research into AI-driven threat detection, automated vulnerability discovery, and intelligent security monitoring.
AI SecurityThreat DetectionAutomated AnalysisMLResearch into securing containerised environments, network architectures, and cloud infrastructure. Best practices for defence-in-depth strategies and zero-trust architectures.

Vulnerabilities are reported to vendors before public disclosure, and test environments use isolated, controlled setups that pose no risk to production systems.
