Your deep technical work on OWASP compliance isn’t seen by leadership

The situation this course is for

Despite leading critical security integrations, contributions often remain hidden below operational layers, limiting recognition and influence on strategic decisions

Who this is for

Senior technical architect in a regulated enterprise environment, working on secure data platforms with implicit OWASP alignment

Who this is not for

Junior developers, compliance auditors without architecture experience, or professionals outside of data and security engineering roles

What you walk away with

  • Clear executive-level narrative for OWASP implementation work
  • Repeatable documentation that surfaces impact to leadership
  • Increased inclusion in pre-incident architecture reviews
  • Stronger positioning as a security-informed data platform leader
  • Faster alignment with security stakeholders using OWASP benchmarks
