If nothing changes
Continuing to operate in execution mode means missing the shift toward ownership roles in application security, where the highest visibility and career mobility now reside.
How this compares to the alternatives
Unlike generic OWASP training, this course focuses on ownership mechanics, not vulnerability identification, so you gain authority, not just awareness.
