Security teams are blocking transaction workflow changes due to unaddressed OWASP risks

The situation this course is for

Finance operations leaders face delays when updating billing or payment flows because development teams reject requests over security gaps. Without a shared language, O2C teams appear out of step, even when requirements are sound. The result: initiatives stall, trust erodes, and engineering teams bypass finance input altogether.

Who this is for

Senior finance operations practitioner influencing cross-functional technology rollout, often certified, working in a regulated or hybrid environment with frequent system integration cycles

Who this is not for

Junior accountants, pure-play developers, standalone security auditors, or executives focused only on P&L oversight without process engagement

What you walk away with

  • Map O2C process changes directly to OWASP application security controls
  • Produce pre-validated workflow update proposals accepted by security teams on first submission
  • Lead cross-domain design sessions where finance defines secure transaction logic
  • Document secure-by-design patterns for recurring integration projects
  • Position your team as the starting point for transaction system changes
