12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Peers challenge your security controls, and you lack on-hand sources to justify your approach

The situation this course is for

In high-velocity environments like Meta, even well-designed controls get questioned. Without concrete examples and documented reasoning, engineers fall back on opinion, not authority. That undermines trust and slows adoption.

Who this is for

Senior Data Engineer at a large tech firm implementing AI systems under intense security scrutiny

Who this is not for

Engineers who only implement controls without needing to justify them, or those focused solely on passing audits

What you walk away with

  • Cite specific threat models when challenged on control scope
  • Reference real Meta-scale deployments that shaped OWASP control decisions
  • Explain control mappings using NIST CSF and MITRE ATT&CK alignment
  • Defend configuration choices using documented red team outcomes
  • Walk through the evolution of OWASP Top 10 controls with version-specific rationale
