Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTanner Prynn is a Senior Security Engineer focused on Trust and Safety with three years in his current role at Datadog and over a decade of applied security experience through prior consulting leadership at NCC Group. He combines deep application security expertise with practical systems knowledge—spanning network and OS internals—to design scalable security improvements across the software lifecycle. As a former Technical Director and Principal Security Consultant, he has led teams on complex engagements, developed internal security tooling, and raised company-wide review standards through training and documentation. Based in Chicago, Tanner brings a hands-on mindset to hard problems, translating adversary-focused thinking into measurable protections for large-scale platforms. He’s equally comfortable writing secure architecture guidance as he is building the tools that make enforcement and assurance repeatable. A background in computer science, mathematics, and information science underpins his analytical approach to threat modeling and secure design.
