About the authors

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.

Matthew Jacobs is a system engineer focused on cloud architecture technologies needed to support identity management, security, and collaboration tool sets for small and medium businesses, including enterprise organizations. His work has focused on digital transformation, including on-premise only, hybrid cloud networks, and complete public cloud-only deployment. Matthew brings a hands-on cloud architecture approach for Identity Management (IAM) and enhanced engineering to enable business agility that secures and supports a global remote work force. His current work in the Nashville, Tennessee area includes Fortune 500 media, entertainment, and hospitality companies, and his work history extends into public cloud federal compliance requirements for the banking and healthcare industries.
