About Sam Purcell

I’m a Cloud Cyber Security Engineer with hands-on experience securing enterprise environments across Azure and hybrid infrastructures. I specialize in designing and implementing Zero Trust architectures, identity & access management (IAM), and incident response frameworks that keep businesses secure while enabling growth. In my recent roles, I’ve delivered measurable results: leading the deployment of secure cloud workloads for 500+ users, hardening ICS/OT environments, and reducing incident escalation rates by 50% through smarter monitoring and automation. I hold certifications including Microsoft Cybersecurity Architect Expert, ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity, and CrowdStrike Cloud Specialist. What sets me apart is my ability to bridge technical depth with business priorities. I thrive on solving complex security problems, collaborating across teams, and aligning solutions with frameworks like NIST CSF and NCSC’s CAF.
