Robinhood Cuts Access Approval Time to Support High-Velocity Development

Robinhood built Secure Enhanced Remote Approval (SERA), a passkey- and PKI-based platform to reduce friction in internal access approvals across managed and unmanaged devices. Delivered in four months via close collaboration between appsec, cryptography, and infrastructure teams, SERA cut approval time by about 20%, emphasizes usable security, leverages AI for bootstrapping and documentation, and is positioned as a reusable "Approval-as-a-Service" for high‑stakes internal actions.
