Delivery leads caught between speed and security often lack authority on OWASP trade-offs

The situation this course is for

Security findings slow delivery. Teams debate severity. Developers push back. Stakeholders question risk posture. Without structured command of OWASP, delivery leads lose influence at critical junctures.

Who this is for

Enterprise delivery leader managing cross-functional software rollouts with security and compliance dependencies

Who this is not for

Individual developers focused only on coding, or CISOs managing program-wide policy

What you walk away with

  • Justify OWASP remediation timelines with authoritative reasoning backed by framework logic
  • Distinguish critical-path risks from noise in application scanner outputs
  • Apply the OWASP Top 10 to sprint planning and release gates with confidence
  • Lead security review sessions with structured, auditable decision records
  • Reduce rework cycles by aligning dev, QA, and security on OWASP severity thresholds up front
