This conference talk from SREcon25 Americas explores the significant overlap between Cybersecurity and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), demonstrating how understanding and leveraging these connections can enhance both disciplines. Learn how safety science principles reveal that security and SRE improve through increased success rather than merely reducing failures. Discover research findings from DevOps, Software Security, and other fields that demonstrate strong correlations between various types of organizational performance, suggesting that organizations can most effectively reduce cybersecurity risks by improving their overall technology performance. Examine the shared capabilities between SRE and Security teams, including critical activities like patching, attack surface management, observability, incident response, postmortems, testing, and platform engineering. Understand how SRE and Security teams can collaborate by supporting mutual goals, sharing perspectives on handling both common and rare incidents, and implementing Security Level Objectives to guide resource allocation decisions similar to how SRE teams use Service Level Objectives.
