Launching products fast without compromising security is getting harder, especially when third-party integrations multiply risk.
The situation this course is for
Product leaders today face a silent trade-off: speed versus security. Every new partnership, API, or integration expands attack surface. Traditional perimeter models fail. Zero Trust isn’t just for IT, it’s a product imperative. Without it, scaling introduces unseen vulnerabilities that erode trust and slow innovation.
Who this is for
Senior product leaders driving growth through partnerships while managing cross-functional risk and technical debt.
Who this is not for
Individual contributors focused only on internal IT policy or network infrastructure without product ownership.
What you walk away with
- Apply Zero Trust principles directly to product architecture decisions
- Map trust boundaries across multi-platform ecosystems
- Design secure partnership integrations without slowing time-to-market
- Anticipate and mitigate access risks in third-party workflows
- Lead cross-functional teams with a unified security and product roadmap
