Influence across more business lines with OWASP

A 199 course for technical practitioners extending their impact beyond core teams

$199 one-time
24-hour access provisioning 30-day money-back guarantee Hand-built implementation playbook
12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Stuck influencing only your immediate team despite deeper technical mastery

The situation this course is for

Strong coders often plateau at team-level impact, even when their expertise could shape secure practices across departments. Without a structured way to translate OWASP knowledge into cross-functional alignment, influence stays local.

Who this is for

Technical IC in a multiline organization who codes, reviews, or advises on secure implementation and wants their OWASP expertise to shape broader practices

Who this is not for

People new to OWASP, compliance officers without coding background, or those seeking certification prep

What you walk away with

  • Lead OWASP-aligned remediation rollouts across multiple development teams
  • Document risk narratives that engineering and product leads adopt without pushback
  • Shape secure coding standards used in more than one business unit
  • Become the go-to resource for teams shipping under OWASP Top 10 requirements
  • Deliver reusable templates that persist across team changes and leadership cycles

If nothing changes
Without deliberate practice, technical excellence stays local, even when the potential for broader impact exists. Others may adopt fragmented or outdated approaches, leading to rework, inconsistent risk posture, and missed opportunities to align across units.

How this compares to the alternatives

Most OWASP training focuses on awareness or certification, this course is for practitioners who already know OWASP and want to extend its use across their organization. Unlike generic security courses, this is tailored to coders influencing beyond their direct scope.
