How they approach application security

Athene's AppSec philosophy focuses on developer enablement and self-service, aiming to 'make the secure path the easy path.' They prioritize building solutions that development teams can consume directly.
Their risk management approach includes proactive measures such as threat modeling and secure design reviews to provide remediation guidance during the development process.

The team

Athene's security leadership includes Steve Kozman, SVP and CISO, and Ryan Stone, Director of Information Security Operations.
The team recently sought an 'Identity and Application Security Lead' to act as a 'builder who works at the intersection of identity and application security.' While the exact organizational reporting line for the AppSec team is not publicly stated, the role involves designing solutions for both development and security teams to consume directly.

What they're working on

A key active initiative at Athene is the 'Security Guardians' champions program.
Operational workflows include performing testing and validation of security controls in code and APIs, as well as conducting threat modeling and secure design reviews.
The team is also focused on automating identity infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) patterns with tools like Terraform and CloudFormation.
