Being heard in cross-functional security decisions
The situation this course is for
Technical contributors often have the deepest insight but lack the structured framework fluency to lead vendor discussions, influence architecture direction, or position control decisions strategically.
Who this is for
Cyber Security Analyst operating in global defense and infrastructure environments, currently involved in technical reviews and control implementation.
Who this is not for
Executives seeking board-level summaries, developers wanting code-level OWASP Top 10 fixes, or non-technical compliance staff.
What you walk away with
- Lead vendor selection discussions with OWASP-aligned security criteria
- Shape security architecture inputs with structured, standard-backed reasoning
- Respond confidently to peer challenges using specific OWASP control examples
- Document control mappings that survive auditor follow-ups
- Position yourself as the go-to resource for application security decision logic
