Most Product Managers defer security decisions, losing control over timelines and design integrity
The situation this course is for
Security reviews stall product launches. Engineering teams push back on controls. Compliance flags gaps late in the cycle. Product Managers end up reactive, reworking instead of leading.
Who this is for
Product Managers in regulated science-driven industries who need to own security by design without becoming engineers
Who this is not for
Security analysts, penetration testers, or developers looking for hands-on coding labs
What you walk away with
- Set and enforce baseline security requirements for all digital product initiatives
- Own OWASP Top 10 alignment without dependency on security teams
- Embed secure design into sprint planning and vendor selection
- Produce audit-ready threat models and control narratives
- Lead cross-functional reviews with engineering and compliance as the authority
