Story
Financials work at American Express spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Security telemetry was splitting across regional habits. Detection engineers asked for a shared way to run detection engineering without freezing local judgment.
Dynatrace (Application Security) is what they standardized on. Dynatrace is an observability and security platform that uses causal AI to analyze traces, metrics, and logs across cloud stacks. American Express uses it as the system of record for security telemetry, with detection engineers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
