Following an 18 year career in software design, development, leadership, and architecture, Erik Klein embarked on a 7 year journey (2007 - 2014) as a pre-sales engineer to evangelize, help develop, and help mature the value of first generation software security tools (SAST, DAST) from obscurity to dominance in order to begin the process of hardening software. From 2014 - 2021, he repeated this process with the second generation of software security tools (IAST, RASP, SCA) to bring far more accurate and actionable security findings to prevention and incidence response teams. Currently in his role as Director of Americas Security Solution Engineering at Dynatrace, Erik and his team bring highly accurate and contextually aware security findings using IAST, RASP, Runtime SCA, Security investigation, and other capabilities to the security masses without the need to scan or install agents by activating security features, at-scale in production, within existing observability solutions.
