Over the past year, Datadog has successfully integrated its Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and Security teams into a unified group to enhance its operational and security posture. This integration aimed to improve visibility, align shared objectives, and encourage proactive risk management by combining the traditionally distinct roles of security, which focuses on preventing external threats, and SRE, which ensures system reliability. Led by Tanner Prynn and Angela Beteta, the initiative involved refining processes to scale permissions, enhance audit logging, and strengthen organizational governance, ultimately resulting in more efficient workflows and a robust internal trust framework. The iterative governance strategy employed by Datadog emphasized collaborative solutions, blameless incident remediation, and close partnerships with product teams to prototype features that align with both internal and customer goals. As a result, Datadog not only addressed existing reliability challenges but also established a foundation for continuous improvements, with other teams across the organization adopting and evolving this combined approach to redefine collaboration and enhance security and reliability.
