Struggling to integrate security frameworks seamlessly into project timelines?
The situation this course is for
Many project managers face delays and scope creep when security testing uncovers flaws late in the cycle. Without deep familiarity with OWASP, it's hard to anticipate where vulnerabilities emerge or how to structure development sprints that bake in protection from the start.
Who this is for
Mid-to-senior project managers in technology and telecom sectors who lead software delivery and need to integrate security frameworks without sacrificing speed or clarity.
Who this is not for
This is not for developers looking to code to OWASP standards or security auditors seeking certification prep. It is tailored for project leaders who must operationalize the framework across teams.
What you walk away with
- Map OWASP Top 10 risks directly to project phases and sprint planning
- Lead developer teams with confidence using precise OWASP control language
- Anticipate audit findings by internalizing scoring and severity logic
- Integrate security testing seamlessly into delivery timelines
- Produce artefacts that pass technical and executive review without rework

If nothing changes
Projects will continue to face last-minute security findings, rework, and stakeholder friction when vulnerabilities emerge post-launch. Without command of OWASP, project managers remain reactive rather than authoritative in high-stakes delivery environments.
How this compares to the alternatives
Unlike generic cybersecurity courses, this program is built specifically for project managers, not security specialists, giving you precise, actionable control over OWASP without technical overload.
Frequently asked
Is this course technical?
No. It’s designed for project leaders who need to manage security outcomes, not write code. The focus is on control, oversight, and communication.
How is the course structured?
12 modules, each containing 12 chapters (144 chapters total).
