Cybersecurity & Data Privacy for Technical Product Managers

About this course

In today’s digital landscape, security is not an afterthought—it is a critical component of project management. As a Technical Project Manager (TPM), embedding cybersecurity and privacy into the DevSecOps process ensures resilient and secure development practices. In this course, you’ll explore the critical responsibilities of Agile Technical Program Managers in embedding security into project lifecycles from the ground up. Through hands-on experience with security frameworks and compliance tools, you’ll learn to manage secure development pipelines, assess risk, and ensure alignment with privacy regulations. You’ll also examine ethical considerations and key security metrics, gaining the skills to drive secure, compliant, and resilient Agile workflows. This course is designed for Technical Project Managers, Product and Program Managers, Business Development professionals, and Security Engineers looking to deepen their understanding of cybersecurity and privacy within project workflows. If you're responsible for managing technical projects and want to ensure they are secure, compliant, and efficient, this course is for you. To get the most from this course, learners should have a foundational understanding of project management, DevOps practices, and core cybersecurity principles. Familiarity with tools used in vulnerability assessment and security analysis will also be helpful, but not required. By the end of this course, learners will be able to apply Agile methodologies to manage cybersecurity and privacy-focused projects effectively. They will analyze how core cybersecurity principles influence project development across diverse user needs and evaluate regulatory requirements and metrics to strengthen product security throughout the development lifecycle. Learners will also synthesize key cybersecurity considerations within a DevSecOps framework to anticipate potential challenges, overcome roadblocks, and prepare for successful regulatory audits.
