Techniques, Tools & Technology Series - Cybersecurity Risk Mapping & Identifying Weak Spots

Cybersecurity isn’t just a technical issue—it’s a business problem. Business analysts are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between business operations and security requirements. In this session, Victor Asanmi breaks down how to spot hidden cybersecurity risks within everyday business processes using techniques you already know: process mapping, stakeholder analysis, and gap analysis.

Description:

Victor Asanmi will walk through real examples of how overlooked data flows, user access loopholes, and third-party integrations expose businesses to threats. You’ll leave with a practical, repeatable approach to embedding cybersecurity thinking into your BA work without needing to become a security expert.

If you’re ready to expand your skill set, speak the language of CISOs, and become a more valuable analyst, this session is for you.

Learning Objectives:

Identify overlooked risks in day-to-day business operations
Recognize how poor access control, data flows, and hand-offs become attack vectors
Ask the right questions to expose security blind spots early
Collaborate more effectively with security teams
Add strategic value by preventing security issues before they cost time, money, and reputation
