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) - now ASD's Blueprint for Secure Cloud, Sam has more experience than most with how to balance usability and collaboration with the evolving nature of cyber security threats.

Sam has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to Microsoft 365, including what happens when it all goes wrong and the people you don't want get in and cause a muck. But this has presented the opportunity to learn how they do this, and more importantly, how to prevent it.

Sam is now the Head of Technical Consulting, with Fujitsu Cyber. He leads a diverse, specialist team across Australia and New Zealand who offer expertise in cyber security consulting including assessments and uplifts, security testing, and cyber-product professional services.

In 2025, Sam was awarded Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) status for M365 & Copilot, recognising both his expertise with the products and the work he's done sharing his experience with the wider cyber community.

Sam has publicly spoken on various cyber security topics in both Australia and New Zealand, including AISA Cybercon, Gartner and AUSCERT since 2023.
