Security reviews slowing down ERP delivery cycles
The situation this course is for
Teams face delays because security is treated as a gate, not a design partner. The result: rework, misalignment, and diluted ownership across PMO, product, and engineering.
Who this is for
Senior Product, Program, and PMO Leaders in enterprise IT environments managing large-scale ERP implementations involving SAP, Oracle, or hybrid stacks.
Who this is not for
Individual contributors focused solely on coding, auditors without delivery authority, or security specialists without cross-functional leadership scope.
What you walk away with
- Lead secure-by-design discussions with authority across dev, ops, and compliance teams
- Anticipate and resolve OWASP Top 10 risks during ERP architecture planning, not post-build
- Reduce rework cycles by integrating security patterns early in sprint planning and integration design
- Build measurable credibility as a cross-domain integrator who delivers both speed and assurance
- Position yourself as the connective layer between security frameworks and ERP delivery outcomes
