Security Philosophy
- ALTEN's Application Security philosophy centers on a 'SecDevOps' approach, emphasizing the integration of security 'right from the design stage' and 'right from the start' of the development lifecycle.
- Their mission is to enable security through a codified process supported by tools, while fostering a culture where DevSecOps is a shared responsibility.
- The risk philosophy is driven by an independent CISO whose role is to 'control risks' and treat cybersecurity as a matter of organizational culture rather than just a technical gate.
Security Team
The AppSec function appears to be governed by a CISO-led structure. Key public-facing leaders include Romain Moioli (Chief Information Security Officer), Łukasz Kania (CISO at Alten Polska), and Rajesh Aravind M (Information Security Leader at ALTEN India). These leaders are responsible for the 'implementation of Alten Group security policy' and 'promoting the information security strategy.' While the total headcount for the AppSec team is not publicly available, the Group as a whole employs over 10,000 people.
Key Initiatives
- ALTEN's primary AppSec initiative is the implementation of a 'Security Development Lifecycle (SDL).' This includes 'Threat modelling' and 'On-demand code review' during the design and development phases.
- They practice 'Shift Left' through 'Automated cybersecurity scanning within CI/CD pipelines' using tools like Spectral.
- Vulnerability management involves 'Implementation of remediation plans' and the use of scanners like Aqua Trivy and Snyk.io to manage intake from penetration testing and automated tools.
