Being caught between developer velocity and security compliance without clear decision authority
The situation this course is for
Developer Relations Engineers often bridge high-velocity engineering teams and centralized risk functions, but without formal decision rights on control application, they become bottlenecks rather than enablers. This creates delays, inconsistent interpretations, and eroded trust on both sides.
Who this is for
Senior technical advocate in developer relations at a large-scale tech organization, fluent in engineering culture and security frameworks, seeking greater decision ownership without escalation
Who this is not for
Individuals looking for introductory OWASP walkthroughs, non-technical compliance staff, or those outside developer advocacy roles
What you walk away with
- Own final determination on OWASP control applicability per project tier
- Approve time-bound control exceptions without senior review
- Set remediation timelines for high-severity findings below escalation threshold
- Deploy standardized control justification templates aligned to Meta's risk appetite
- Lead cross-functional design sessions with final say on control trade-offs

- During cross-team design review with conflicting priorities
- After receiving audit findings with tight remediation deadlines
- When onboarding a high-risk third-party integration
Before vs. after
Before
Reactive coordination between developers and security teams, frequent escalations, inconsistent control application, and delayed project timelines due to undefined decision rights.
After
Proactive ownership of OWASP control decisions, faster resolution cycles, consistent framework application, and trusted authority across engineering and risk functions.

If nothing changes
Continued reliance on escalation for control decisions erodes influence, slows delivery, and positions the role as a bottleneck rather than an enabler in high-velocity environments.
How this compares to the alternatives
Generic OWASP training provides awareness but no decision authority. Public workshops lack role-specific protocols. Internal documentation is fragmented. This course delivers targeted, actionable decision frameworks used by senior practitioners at scale.
Frequently asked
Who is this course designed for?
