I think what you're referring to is pentesting. Agreed, for pentesting I highly doubt the course will be of much benefit.

However, for developing compliance and architectural plans for a large enterprise, it's quite a bit more complex problem.

Reverse engineering & vulnerability research.

Unfortunately, that doesn't help much if you're managing security for a group of 500 engineers releasing product everyday.
