If nothing changes
Deals stall during procurement validation when security evidence lacks OWASP-specific precision, creating margin pressure and competitive disadvantage against technically fluent vendors.
How this compares to the alternatives
Generic security awareness courses lack OWASP-specific procurement context; vendor-specific certifications focus on implementation, not business development fluency; public OWASP resources lack enterprise sales application guidance.
