Losing influence on security decisions due to shared ownership or delayed approvals

The situation this course is for

Security frameworks like OWASP are often driven by compliance or audit teams, leaving product leaders to react rather than lead. This creates friction in release cycles, weakens strategic positioning, and defers critical decisions to others who lack product context.

Who this is for

Senior product leaders in enterprise tech who influence security outcomes but lack formal decision rights on framework implementation.

Who this is not for

Individual contributors focused on developer-level OWASP tasks, entry-level product managers, or security auditors without product ownership.

What you walk away with

  • Assert direct ownership over OWASP control selection and implementation scope
  • Reduce cycle time for security approvals by eliminating handoffs
  • Lead OWASP alignment sessions with engineering and security teams confidently
  • Document decision logic that scales across products and teams
  • Become the internal reference for OWASP interpretation and trade-offs

If nothing changes
Continuing to cede OWASP decision rights means slower releases, repeated justification cycles, and diminished strategic influence despite your product leadership scope.

How this compares to the alternatives

Unlike generic OWASP training focused on developer checklists, this course is tailored for product leaders who need to own framework outcomes, not just implement controls. It emphasizes decision ownership, cross-functional leadership, and strategic positioning over technical syntax.
