Abstract: 

Security and SRE are natural allies in the fight against randomness, terrible systems, and how those systems can hurt people and give us yet another reason to hate surprises. This talk goes over where our interests overlap, where they don’t, why, and how to take advantage of this in a world of infinite possibilities and limited, prioritized time.
