Course Overview

The OWASP SAMM v2 course by OWASP is a comprehensive training program designed to help organizations assess, plan, and improve their software security posture using the Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM). This course prepares professionals for the OWASP SAMM v2 assessment framework, enabling them to measure and enhance security practices across development lifecycles. It is ideal for security architects, application security engineers, and DevSecOps leads responsible for integrating security into software development processes. According to OWASP, over 30% of global enterprises have adopted SAMM or are actively evaluating it to strengthen their software assurance programs, demonstrating its growing industry relevance.

Participants engage with core components of the OWASP SAMM v2 model, including Threat Assessment, Secure Architecture, Defect Management, and Incident Management, using official SAMM assessment tools and spreadsheets provided by the OWASP Foundation. The hands-on lab environment includes real-world scenarios where students conduct a full SAMM assessment for a simulated organization, scoring maturity levels across business functions and generating a prioritized roadmap for improvement. Learners configure assessment templates, map organizational roles to security practices, and build a customized implementation plan using the SAMM model’s scoring engine. These labs are conducted using downloadable SAMM tools and guided templates in a local or organizational environment, reflecting actual deployment conditions.

This training prepares candidates for professional application of the OWASP SAMM v2 framework, a recognized standard in software security maturity assessment adopted by leading financial, healthcare, and technology firms. Security professionals with SAMM expertise report an average salary increase of 15–20% when leading enterprise security initiatives, according to industry surveys. Koenig Solutions offers this course with official OWASP-aligned courseware, 1-on-1 instructor support, and a Guaranteed-to-Run schedule, ensuring timely access to expert-led training. Upon completion, learners are equipped to lead software security transformation programs, reduce vulnerabilities proactively, and align development practices with global security benchmarks.
