Who is this for?
This platform is for business analysts and those who perform business analysis with or without the title. The term ‘business analyst’ in this context refers to anyone who uses business analysis skills, tools and techniques
Why does a business analyst need this?
In today’s digital age, the imperative of cyber security has never been more pronounced. With the pervasive integration of technology in every aspect of our lives, the need to safeguard sensitive information and digital assets has become paramount.
A business analyst must be mindful of both the internal and external environments, affecting their organisation, along with the current and future landscapes of the business, while performing their analyses.
A business analyst is a trusted advisor. Trust can be built and maintained only when complete truth is brought forth in the analysis, not just what the stakeholder wants to hear. As trusted advisors, business analysts must deliver a complete analysis by conducting a thorough investigation to enable informed decision-making.
Hence, it is time to shift cyber security ‘left’ and strategise, design, code and test it holistically at every stage of the project life cycle. And this platform aims to deliver pointers to enable you to do that.
