Stuck reacting to compliance checklists instead of leading high-visibility initiatives
The situation this course is for
Strong DevOps engineers often get pulled into reactive security fixes rather than leading proactive, high-margin projects. Without a structured way to demonstrate OWASP mastery, it's hard to stand out in a crowded internal landscape and earn access to the most strategic work.
Who this is for
Mid-senior DevOps engineer in a large tech or enterprise environment who regularly engages with security teams, audit cycles, or secure CI/CD pipelines and wants recognition for leading secure delivery , not just enabling it
Who this is not for
Engineers focused only on infrastructure automation without security ownership, or those without exposure to application threat modeling or security review cycles
What you walk away with
- Identify and claim OWASP-aligned initiatives with outsized visibility and budget
- Position your work as essential to security review outcomes, not just preparatory
- Navigate audit cycles with pre-validated controls and documented decision logic
- Build repeatable patterns for remediating critical risks that compound across teams
- Earn direct inclusion in pre-release security gating conversations
