Marcus Oyelaran

Security & DevOps Specialist

11+ years experience

Marcus Oyelaran spent eleven years moving between platform and security teams, including four years as a security engineer embedded inside a DevOps org at a healthcare SaaS company handling PHI at scale. He's run more incident postmortems than he can count, and most of what he writes for Backtrace comes directly out of those postmortems: the secret that leaked through a build log, the IAM policy that was too permissive by one wildcard, the deploy that skipped a gate because someone was in a hurry. He holds an OSCP and spends an unreasonable amount of time arguing about supply chain security on internal Slack channels.
