Managing IT and cybersecurity risks in isolation leads to failure; a holistic, engineering-based approach is essential. Inspired by Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), this model emphasizes quantifiable risk management through balance—using “error budgets” to weigh cost, reliability, and speed. Applying this to cybersecurity creates “threat budgets,” measuring acceptable risk levels to optimize protection without stalling innovation. This approach, termed Service Threat Engineering, promotes collaboration between operations and security teams by aligning their priorities under shared risk management principles. Tanium’s Converged Endpoint Management platform enables this integration, improving visibility and resilience.
