Reference of choice on cross-functional OWASP risk calls

How senior practitioners are using OWASP to align security, product, and engineering teams ahead of audit cycles

12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Being pulled into late-stage security reviews with no influence on earlier design decisions

The situation this course is for

Teams build without OWASP guardrails, then escalate to you when risks surface. You're seen as a blocker, not a strategist. Context gets lost in handoffs. Your insight lands late, so fixes are costly.

Who this is for

Senior technical leader who bridges compliance, engineering, and product, credible but not always consulted early

Who this is not for

Individual contributors building standalone tools, junior developers, or auditors focused only on checklists

What you walk away with

  • Lead OWASP-based threat modeling sessions with product and engineering leads
  • Build reusable risk narratives that travel across project kickoffs
  • Anticipate and resolve common implementation gaps in OWASP Top 10 integration
  • Shape vendor and open-source library selection using OWASP ASVS
  • Produce internal reference documents that persist beyond team changes

If nothing changes
Continuing to respond to risks after they emerge means higher remediation costs, eroded trust, and missed opportunities to lead.
