Security Nerd by Day, Microsoft Enthusiast by Night

Hi, I’m Sebastian Flæng Markdanner—just a Microsoft-certified cloud and security enthusiast with a passion for sharing what I’ve learned along the way.

In my day-to-day I work as a Security Consultant @ extri:co - Part of IT Forum Gruppen.

At Cloudy with a Chance of Security, I’m here to guide you through the, sometimes, stormy world of tech, offering insights, practical guides, and the occasional relevant news—all focused on keeping identities and endpoints secure.

I took the scenic route to IT, starting in sales and officially jumping into the tech space in 2019. Since then, I’ve built a career on curiosity, grit, and a love for solving complex challenges. This somewhat unconventional path has been my edge—self-taught, self-driven, and laser-focused on mastering Microsoft’s ecosystem from the ground up.

As a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) and holder of certifications like Azure Solutions Architect, Cybersecurity Architect, and Enterprise Administrator, I’ve built up quite the toolkit, but instead of keeping it to myself, I’m here to share those experiences and lessons with you.
You can see my full Microsoft Transcript here.

Whether you’re navigating the complexities of Microsoft Defender Suite, Azure, Intune, or Entra, I’ve been there and done that—and I’m always learning more. So, if your tech forecast is looking a little cloudy, don’t worry. My blog offers insights, tips, and a touch of humor to help you along the way, one post at a time.

While I work with businesses of all sizes, my primary focus is on the SMB space. You’ll find stories from the field and reflections on cybersecurity challenges, all aimed at helping companies stay ahead of the game, whether you’re growing or already established.
