Siloed security decisions slowing down product velocity and risk alignment
The situation this course is for
Security guidance gets diluted across teams, regions, and product squads. Without a shared framework, OWASP recommendations are interpreted inconsistently, leading to rework, delayed sign-offs, and compliance gaps that surface late. Influence stays local, not enterprise-wide.
Who this is for
Senior engagement or risk executive operating at the intersection of security, product, and delivery , shaping how standards are interpreted and adopted across divisions
Who this is not for
Engineers looking for OWASP implementation code, or junior analysts seeking entry-level compliance training
What you walk away with
- Standardized OWASP control mappings adopted across multiple business units
- Faster consensus on application risk thresholds with product and security leads
- Repeatable security review templates used across global delivery teams
- Stakeholder alignment on risk decisions without escalation to senior leadership
- Clear audit trail linking OWASP benchmarks to control decisions in major projects
