Security frameworks feel abstract until they block a release.

The situation this course is for

Product Owners often inherit OWASP obligations without deep familiarity with its structure or enforcement logic. That gap leads to rework, delayed sign-offs, and last-minute scope changes when security findings collide with delivery timelines.

Who this is for

Senior Product Owner in a regulated industry managing delivery of enterprise software with security and compliance dependencies.

Who this is not for

This is not for entry-level developers, pentesters, or auditors building checklists. It’s for practitioners who own delivery and need to speak OWASP with authority, not just awareness.

What you walk away with

  • Articulate OWASP control intent clearly to architects and engineers
  • Anticipate reviewer questions before findings are issued
  • Shape vendor requirements with OWASP Top 10 baked in by design
  • Reduce rework cycles caused by late-stage security findings
  • Produce implementation evidence that passes internal and external validation
