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.

Who this is for

Senior product-focused practitioner influencing security and compliance outcomes without formal authority over engineering or DevOps teams

Who this is not for

Junior analysts, tool implementers without strategic input, or those outside product governance roles

What you walk away with

  • Define the scope of SBOM generation without requiring architecture board approval
  • Select and mandate toolchain components used in SBOM creation and validation
  • Determine format standards (SPDX vs. CycloneDX) for internal and external exchange
  • Set thresholds for dependency depth and vulnerability inclusion in published SBOMs
  • Lead cross-functional alignment using documented reasoning, not consensus appeals
