Aligning SRE and security for better incident response

In this series, we looked at why we combined our SRE and security teams into one cohesive group, and how we made that happen. With this combined approach, we set out to build our internal platform and customer-facing products with a security-first mindset, while still drawing upon the deep expertise of our existing SRE practices. Combining the teams improved the way we build tools for both our engineers and customers and strengthened our ability to mitigate risks.

Security and SRE: An Example from Datadog's Combined Approach

In most companies, Security and SRE organizations are distinctly separate entities and often fall under different executive branches of the company. The work of Security and SRE organizations may appear different, but their goals are the same: keep the company running. This separated structure hinders collaboration, but what if you could change it? Over the past year, Datadog has joined our SRE and Security teams together in a single organization unifying all aspects of reliability.

Security and SRE: How Datadog's combined approach aims to tackle security and reliability challenges

Security is essential to cloud-based development, but integrating it into dynamic, distributed environments is difficult. Factors like complex architectures and operational constraints often create roadblocks, which makes it harder to enforce security policies and mitigate threats. These challenges are especially apparent within security organizations, where siloes limit their ability to keep pace with the larger organization as it scales.

SREs bring ORDER(R) to CHAOS

Categorizing the challenges and duties of your trusted friend, the site reliability engineer (SRE). From Snyk Ambassador Keith McDuffee, DevSecOps and founder of StackRef.com. “What’s the difference between a DevOps engineer and a site reliability engineer?” It’s a question I hear all the time — and one I’ve heard (and sometimes asked) in job interviews. But is there a correct answer? It all depends on who you ask.

Access Control Podcast: Episode 9 - SRE-Powered Dev Productivity

In this ninth episode of Access Control, a podcast providing practical security advice for startups, Developer Relations Engineer at Teleport Ben Arent chats with Mario Loria. Mario is a Senior SRE at Carta who has been leading their move to Kubernetes and other cloud native technologies. Carta helps companies and investors manage their cap tables, valuations, investments, and equity plans. As users of Carta, we hope their security is top notch. Today we’ll be chatting about orchestrating Kubernetes, training teams on cloud native, and optimizing for the developer experience!
