Struggling to assert authority on security decisions across development teams?
The situation this course is for
Security input gets overruled, delayed, or diluted in cross-functional workflows, especially during fast-moving integrations and acquisitions.
Who this is for
Senior individual contributor in security, compliance, or platform engineering at a high-growth tech company
Who this is not for
Junior practitioners still learning core frameworks, or leaders seeking board-level narratives
