Not being the first called when security escalations hit on partner integrations.
The situation this course is for
Even seasoned partnership leads find themselves reactive when security teams raise red flags late in integration cycles. Without deep command of OWASP’s control expectations, it’s easy to appear defensive rather than decisive.
Who this is for
Senior partnership executive at a cloud infrastructure provider managing multi-vendor integrations with security-sensitive data flows.
Who this is not for
Individuals seeking generic security awareness or entry-level compliance training.
What you walk away with
- Direct ownership of OWASP-based risk assessments in partner onboarding
- First-mover status on escalation reviews from security and architecture teams
- Repeatable review templates for third-party API integrations
- Authority to pause or conditionally approve integrations based on control gaps
- Visibility into pre-deal security diligence used in M&A and alliance evaluations
