A tailored course, built for your situation
Mastering OWASP for Product Owners in Enterprise Cloud Platforms
Build secure-by-design features faster and lead security conversations without slowing delivery
The situation this course is for
Product Owners face increasing pressure to deliver fast while meeting stricter security benchmarks. Yet, most lack a structured way to integrate security into planning, leading to last-minute fixes, rework, and eroded trust. The gap isn’t effort, it’s fluency in the language of risk.
Who this is for
Product Owner or Functional SME in a cloud or enterprise software environment responsible for feature delivery and cross-team coordination with security and engineering
Who this is not for
Security auditors, penetration testers, or developers focused on code-level fixes. This is not a technical deep dive into secure coding, it's for decision-makers shaping what gets built.
What you walk away with
- Lead security discussions with confidence using OWASP terminology and structure
- Anticipate common OWASP risk patterns during feature scoping
- Reduce rework by aligning teams early on secure design principles
- Become the go-to reference for secure feature delivery across engineering pods
- Strengthen delivery velocity by baking in compliance-by-design
