What is the OWASP for Production Engineers course about?
High-severity findings often lack context, creating false urgency. Without clear thresholds, teams either ship risky code or delay launches over edge cases. This erodes trust on both sides.
What situation is the OWASP for Production Engineers for?
High-severity findings often lack context, creating false urgency. Without clear thresholds, teams either ship risky code or delay launches over edge cases. This erodes trust on both sides.
What do you take away from the OWASP for Production Engineers course?
Define and enforce policy on which OWASP findings block production deploys Own the exception process for medium-risk vulnerabilities in non-critical services Lead incident retro discussions on security near-misses without deferring to security team Ship approved configuration templates that pre-resolve Top 10 risks in CI/CD Document risk acceptance calls that survive leadership turnover.
How does this map to your situation?
When next audit scope lands on your desk During planning for new service rollout After a security incident with public impact Before platform-wide tooling decisions.
What's included with your purchase?
12 modules with 12 chapters each (144 chapters) Downloadable templates and worked examples for every module Hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access 30-day money-back guarantee.
What does the OWASP for Production Engineers cover on delivery and format?
Format: Text-based modules and chapters in the Art of Service learning environment, plus downloadable templates and worked examples for every chapter, plus the hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access. Time investment: Approximately 90 minutes per week for 12 weeks, self-paced.
How does this compare to the alternatives?
