Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErich Hansen is a seasoned application security leader with 11 years of engineering and DevOps experience, now leading AppSec at Cox Automotive from Atlanta. He blends hands-on software development, SRE, and secure-by-design practices to scale secure SDLCs and make security a shared enabler rather than a bottleneck. Erich has driven compliance and multi-cloud expansion—delivering SOC 2, EU site launches, WAFs, SASE, and large-scale data ingestion for healthcare AI systems. He mentors engineering teams, implements pragmatic governance, and builds LLM-assisted tooling for code review and remediation as AI reshapes both attack and defense. Comfortable toggling between strategy and code, he’s pragmatic about risk and cost, with a track record of shipping resilient, auditable systems across startups and enterprises. An often overlooked strength is his ability to operationalize security controls in product roadmaps, turning compliance milestones into business accelerants.
