What does the future of observability, AI, and security look like in an increasingly complex digital world? In this special episode of Conversations from the Show Floor, we are live from Dynatrace Perform in Las Vegas with Steve Tack, Chief Product Officer at Dynatrace. A familiar voice to longtime listeners, Steve joins us in person for the first time to explore how Dynatrace is helping enterprises move from reactive IT operations to a proactive, autonomous future.
Steve shares insights into the company’s major announcements from the event, including advancements in AIOps, predictive AI capabilities, and the evolution of cloud security posture management. As AI continues to reshape enterprise strategies, we unpack how businesses are adapting their IT operations to embrace AI-powered automation while maintaining scalability, security, and resilience.
We also explore how observability and AI are converging, not only to detect anomalies faster but to predict and prevent issues before they impact the business. Steve discusses the growing importance of runtime context in cloud security and the critical role Dynatrace plays in unifying data streams across metrics, logs, traces, and business metadata to deliver real-time answers.
Beyond the keynotes and product announcements, Steve shares trends directly from the show floor conversations—how businesses are restructuring for greater agility, why platform engineering is becoming a central theme, and what the rise of AI-native architectures means for development teams.
If you’re wondering whether fully autonomous IT operations are within reach or how enterprises are turning AI observability from concept into practice, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Steve’s passion for customer-driven innovation shines throughout, offering a glimpse into where enterprise IT is heading—and what leaders need to consider as they navigate this next wave of transformation.
How are you preparing for an era of predictive, autonomous, and secure digital operations? Join the conversation and let us know your thoughts.
