Security controls feel bolted on, not built in, slowing product teams and fragmenting enforcement
The situation this course is for
Product managers navigate conflicting priorities: speed to market, engineering autonomy, and post-incident scrutiny. Security is often reactive, introduced late, or owned outside the product stream. This creates rework, inconsistent risk posture, and missed alignment with standards like OWASP. The cost isn’t just delays, it’s erosion of trust when incidents occur.
Who this is for
Technical Product Managers in global technology firms who own secure delivery across regions and teams, and need a structured way to scale OWASP without sacrificing velocity
Who this is not for
Security auditors, compliance officers, or developers looking for code-level fixes , this is not a developer upskilling course or an audit preparation program
What you walk away with
- Deploy OWASP Top 10 controls as integrated product requirements, not retrofitted checklists
- Standardize security review gates across product teams using a reusable, auditable decision map
- Produce artefacts that satisfy both engineering leads and risk stakeholders
- Lead cross-functional security alignment without centralized authority
- Embed OWASP compliance into CI/CD workflows with clear ownership per service boundary
