About Shawn Page

A Detection & Incident Response Engineer specializing in Azure cloud environments, with hands-on depth across the full security stack — identity, endpoints, secrets management, network, and email security.My work sits at the intersection of threat detection and rapid response. I build and tune detection pipelines, lead incident response from initial triage through full remediation, and architect cloud security controls that make environments measurably harder to compromise. From KQL-driven detections in Microsoft Sentinel to identity containment in Entra ID and Active Directory, I operate across the entire lifecycle — not just one piece of it.My technical foundation is backed by a M.S. in Computer Science and certifications including CompTIA Security+, CySA+, AZ-900, AZ-500, and SC-200 — each one chosen deliberately to deepen my understanding of cloud-native threat detection, intrusion analysis, and incident response.Before cybersecurity, I competed at the Division I and professional level in football. That background didn’t leave me when I hung up my cleats — it shaped how I approach this work. The discipline, the film study, the obsession with execution under pressure. Security is a different arena but the mindset is the same. I show up to be the best in the room.#cybersecurity #microsoft #detectionengineer #cloud #clousscurity
