Security decisions are being made without structured input from practice leaders
The situation this course is for
Global practice heads often sit outside core security workflows, leading to misalignment on risk posture, delayed vendor approvals, and inconsistent application of standards across regions. Influence defaults to those closest to implementation, not those with enterprise-wide context.
Who this is for
Senior technical leader shaping practice direction in enterprise software environments
Who this is not for
Individual contributors focused on writing code, penetration testers, or entry-level security analysts
What you walk away with

- Frame architectural trade-offs with reference to OWASP Top 10 and ASVS at leadership level
- Deploy repeatable threat modeling templates across regional teams
- Align development policy with OWASP ASVS without requiring engineering rework
- Anchor strategic planning sessions with documented risk decision frameworks
