Robinhood Markets built Secure Enhanced Remote Approval (SERA) to reduce access-approval friction for developers and incident responders without sacrificing security. The platform uses passkey-based approvals from any device and cut approval time by 20%, helping the company move faster across its 24/7 engineering and incident-response workflows. #RobinhoodMarkets #SERA
Keypoints
- Robinhood’s old access approval process slowed incident response and innovation.
- The company replaced laptop-bound approvals with SERA, a passkey-based remote approval platform.
- SERA works across managed and unmanaged devices without relying on VPNs.
- Cross-functional teams in appsec, cryptography, and infrastructure delivered the system in four months.
- Robinhood is now expanding SERA as an “Approval-as-a-Service” platform for other internal use cases.
