About
Shawn Nunley is the founder of Cloud Security Office Hours (CSOH), a vendor-neutral community of 2,000+ cloud security professionals that meets every Friday on Zoom. He launched CSOH to give practitioners free, hands-on access to the kind of unfiltered, peer-to-peer conversations he wished he'd had earlier in his own career.
By day, Shawn is a Solutions Architect on the Majors team at Wiz, where he helps the world's largest enterprises secure their AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud footprints. He has 7+ years specializing in cloud security and 25+ years in technology overall, with a background that spans pre-sales engineering, solutions architecture, networking, and storage.
Before Wiz, Shawn held senior cloud security roles at CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks (Prisma Public Cloud), and RedLock — companies at the leading edge of CNAPP, CSPM, and cloud workload protection.
