Top SchoolAndrew Krug is Head of Security Advocacy at Datadog with over a decade of hands-on experience in cloud security, identity management, and technical advocacy.

That mix of public-facing advocacy, developer empathy, and practical DevOps/security engineering informs his strategic approach to improving how organizations detect and respond to threats.
