Security Chaos Engineering: Sustaining Resilience in Software and Systems by Kelly Shortridge and Aaron Rinehart.
Kelly holds a BA in Economics from Vassar College. She previously serving as Vice President of Security Strategy at Capsule8 (acquired by Google Cloud) and management roles at SecurityScorecard. She co-founded IperLane, a security startup acquired by CrowdStrike. Today Kelly is a Senior Principal in the Office of the CTO at Fastly. She is a frequent speaker at major conferences like Black Hat, RSA, and O’Reilly Velocity.
Aaron holds a BA in Economics from the University of Missouri. He was the Co-founder and CTO of Verica (a chaos engineering startup) and a Distinguished Engineer at Capital One. He is widely recognized as a pioneer in applying chaos engineering specifically to the security domain. A former Chief Security Architect at UnitedHealth Group (UHG), Aaron led the release of ChaoSlingr, an early open-source security chaos engineering tool. He is a frequent keynote speaker at the National Press Club, RSA, and DEF CON.
Both share that traditional security relies on the “fortress” mentality, building thicker walls to keep attackers out. However they state that modern, complex, distributed systems failure is not possible, it’s actually inevitable. So, don’t let the inevitable system failures stall organizational progress. By adopting Security Chaos Engineering, you certainly build the ‘immune system’ your software needs to withstand adverse events, ensuring your business goals and engineering velocity remain on track even under pressure.”
