When You Do DevSecOps, Don’t Forget the SREs

Introduction

It's common today to talk about the "gap between security and development" or the "DevOps security disconnect." That makes good sense; there is indeed a need to de-silo security from the development and DevOps processes.

What receives surprisingly less attention, however, is the disconnect between reliability engineering and security. For all that we talk about DevSecOps, we pay almost no heed to the importance of integrating security more centrally into the incident management work performed by SREs.
