A huge number of security vulnerabilities are due to production mis-configuration rather than flaws in the development of the actual software. Software Engineers generally aren't trained in managing these production environments so you would probably want at least two different legal licenses to cover your bases.

Software engineers generally aren’t trained in anything, to be completely honest :/
Most of them are hired based on their ability to solve simple stand-alone programming puzzles. So you can claim they are trained for that?
The two are not orthogonal. I used to do some work in financial services and some of the systems were designed not to run risks in case of misconfiguration.
