Security Philosophy
Security Team
Amadeus employs a centralized security governance model led by a Group CISO who has the authority to appoint security representatives across regions and business units. Key public-facing leaders include Jay Hilyard (Director, Application Security - Hospitality), Svend Fjerdingstad (Head, Application Security Office), and Prakash Mishra (Head - Application Security Office, Bangalore). The team includes Application Security Engineers responsible for integrating scanning tools like Checkmarx into CI/CD pipelines. Team size and exact current job counts are not publicly available.
Key Initiatives
Active initiatives include the implementation of a Secure SDLC featuring 'Staged Gates' and the integration of automated security scanning into CI/CD pipelines.
