Spending cycles retrofitting security into shipped code, only to see others lead the remediation

The situation this course is for

Engineers ship features fast, but when gaps surface in audit or pen testing, the response is often reactive. Security becomes a cost centre, not a value driver. The same teams get pulled in late, their contributions framed as fixes, not strategy.

Who this is for

Senior software engineer in a high-growth tech environment, working across distributed systems, under pressure to ship fast while maintaining security hygiene

Who this is not for

Junior developers learning secure coding basics, or security specialists focused on policy creation rather than engineering integration

What you walk away with

  • Proactively align code design with OWASP Top 10 before sprint kickoff
  • Position security enhancements as value-add features to product stakeholders
  • Lead OWASP-based risk assessments in cross-functional planning sessions
  • Articulate technical controls in audit-ready language without rework
  • Unlock higher-margin project assignments by owning security narrative
