Author Biography
Marshall Copeland is a cloud security architect focused on helping customers "shift left" with cloud security defenses in Azure public cloud using cloud-native services and third-party network security appliances. He uses Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with ARM templates or Terraform HCL to build cloud infrastructure and disaster recovery solutions. Marshall's Azure security design skills include Azure Sentinel, Security Center, Policy, Firewall and ACL networking, and a few open-source solutions such as ELK stack, Wireshark, and Snort. He partners with security operations to guide cloud investigations to enhance "blue team hunting" efficiencies.
