The multiverse of IT storytelling | Harness blog. "While we go to the movies for popcorn, Leon goes for architectural therapy - finding SRE life lessons in Spider-Verse metaphors and 'nightmare fuel' monitoring tools. Please welcome the host of Technically Religious and Principal Technical Marketing Engineer at Cribl, Leon Adato!" Leon Adato on SRE lessons from Spider-Verse and surviving tech failures. At SREday NYC 2026, the ShipTalk podcast welcomed Leon Adato, Principal Technical Marketing Engineer at Cribl and host of the Technically Religious podcast, for a conversation about how engineers navigate failure and uncertainty in complex systems. In the episode, ShipTalk host Dewan Ahmed, Principal Developer Advocate at Harness, spoke with Leon about finding lessons for reliability engineering in unexpected places - including movies like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. For Leon, the world of SRE is full of moments that feel like plot twists: systems fail, vendors disappear, and tools that once seemed essential suddenly become obsolete. The key is not avoiding those moments - but learning how to respond to them. What Spider-Verse teaches Harness Inc. about being an SRE. Leon often draws parallels between technology and storytelling, and one of his favorite examples comes from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. In the movie, Miles Morales struggles to control his powers because he is overwhelmed by pressure. At one point he literally gets stuck to a ceiling because he cannot relax. Leon sees that moment as a perfect metaphor for engineers during a production incident. When systems break and the pressure is high, engineers can become overwhelmed by the situation. That stress can make it harder to think clearly and move forward. Just like Miles learning to trust himself, SREs often need to pause, refocus, and trust their experience to navigate a difficult outage. When a technology choice falls apart. Leon's talk at SREday focused on a scenario many engineers eventually face: watching a technology choice fail. Sometimes the failure comes from a vendor implosion. Sometimes the product simply becomes obsolete. Sometimes the tool just doesn't live up to its promises. In those moments, engineers may feel like the decision reflects badly on them. But Leon argues that these situations often produce valuable outcomes. When a tool collapses or a platform fails, teams are forced to rethink assumptions, improve architecture, and make better decisions moving forward. What initially feels like a disaster can become an opportunity to build stronger systems and stronger teams. Owning the glitch. Another theme Leon emphasized is the importance of owning failures openly. When something breaks, engineers can respond in very different ways. Some people try to hide the issue or shift blame. Others acknowledge the problem and focus on fixing it. Leon believes the second approach leads to healthier engineering cultures. Reliability engineering depends on transparency. Systems fail, and the best teams treat those moments as opportunities to learn rather than something to hide. Owning the glitch helps organizations improve their systems - and helps engineers grow in the process. Final thoughts. Leon Adato's message for SREs is simple but powerful. Technology will always change. Tools will come and go. Systems will occasionally fail. What matters most is how engineers respond to those moments. Staying calm during outages, learning from failed technology choices, and approaching problems with honesty and humility are what ultimately make teams stronger. And sometimes, a good lesson in reliability engineering can even come from a superhero movie. Enjoy conversations like this with engineers, platform builders, and reliability leaders from across the industry.

Cribl expands Guard with AI detection of Sensitive Data in streaming pipelines. March 23, 2026 Press play to listen to this content SAN FRANCISCO, March 23, 2026 - Cribl today announced background detection for Cribl Guard, an AI-driven capability designed to continuously scan in-flight logs, traces, and events to uncover previously unknown sensitive data patterns. This new capability adds a proactive intelligence layer to Cribl Guard, empowering security professionals to identify hidden data risks before they result in exposure. With background detection, Cribl Guard proactively finds new patterns of personally identifiable information (PII), secrets, and regulated data - including patterns that existing rules have never seen. Unlike external DLP tools that require copying streams out of your environment, the purpose-built AI model runs entirely within Cribl Workers, ensuring sensitive data analysis never leaves the customer's own infrastructure. "Security and IT teams don't want to enable AI and agentic assistants on sensitive data and face costly, time-consuming cleanups. By analyzing data flowing through pipelines, background detection catches sensitive information in flight before it even gets to a data store," said Dritan Bitincka, co-founder & chief product officer of Cribl. "This helps organizations transition from static policy enforcement to continuous, AI-driven risk discovery and mitigation." Background detection is powered by Cribl's telemetry AI models that identify new, unknown sensitive data, that immediately surface the finding in the Cribl interface. Security and observability professionals can investigate the sampled events with full event context, dismiss them if appropriate, or instantly convert findings into new Guard rules with a single action. This shortens the path from AI-driven detection to enforced protection before sensitive data reaches downstream destinations such as SIEMs, data lakes, and observability platforms. "In today's complex, data-rich environments, security teams can't afford to wait for sensitive data to land in a SIEM before they act. Cribl Guard's background detection, powered by purpose-built AI, fundamentally shifts the security paradigm from reactive cleanup to proactive, in-flight risk mitigation," said Stuart Bowell, Global Head of Observability, Security and Telemetry, NETbuilder. "It directly addresses the challenges of shadow IT, giving our shared customers the confidence to accelerate their data initiatives while remaining compliant and secure." Key benefits of Cribl Guard background detection include: * Uncover Hidden Risk Before Exposure: Automatically detects new PII, secrets, and regulated data that existing static rules may have missed, reducing the likelihood of audit fines, breach notifications, and expensive remediation efforts. * Detection to Protection in One Step: The moment a risk is identified, a security admin can efficiently turn it into an active Guard rule, saving time and leading to faster, more confident security decisions. * Strengthen Audit Readiness: Provides defensible evidence of ongoing monitoring and documented mitigation, replacing reliance on rulesets that haven't been revisited in months. * Keep Sensitive Data Inside Your Infrastructure: The custom AI model runs within your own Cribl Workers, so sensitive data is never processed outside your environment - a critical distinction from external DLP tools. By keeping a custom AI model in the Worker, a node where the data is being emitted and constantly analyzing data streams in the background, Cribl helps prevent unexpected sensitive data exposures before they become incidents, minimizing financial and operational impacts for the enterprise.
