Sam Brazier-Hollins

Sam has been deploying, assessing and uplifting Microsoft 365 environments since the early days of Office 365 in Australia across government, critical infrastructure and enterprise. As one of the original authors of the Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) Protected Utility Blueprint for Microsoft 365 (M365), Sam has more experience than most with how to balance usability and collaboration with the evolving nature of cyber security threats. Sam has continued to contribute to the Blueprint, originally on behalf of the DTA, and more recently as part of the open-source version, and is passionate about ensuring M365 services are consumed securely.

Recently, Sam has focused on emerging generative AI capabilities, such as Copilot, and how they can bring great productivity benefits to organisations but also significant risks if not managed appropriately.

As part of his role as a Principal Consultant and Head of Cyber for oobe, Sam leads a team focused on secure yet user-friendly solutions with a strong focus on M365 and Azure services.
