As AI technologies advance deep fake capabilities, cyber threats are at an all-time high. An example is the 2024 case when an employee at Arup joined what looked like a perfectly normal video conference, but where real-time AI-generated deep fakes was convincing enough to believe that the CFO (a deep fake) was authorizing a series of transfers of $25 million USD before the fraud was discovered. This and other notable examples have revealed that some of the biggest risks come from within organizations themselves or supporting vendors, because of lack of awareness of how quickly the technology and resulting risks have evolved. Join Dr. Peter Riddell in a participatory discussion of the BA’s role and responsibilities in Information Security Risk (ISR) amongst the backdrop of this ever-changing ISR environment.

In the November 2025 session, we will focus on the Elicitation and Collaboration knowledge area, the fourth chapter of the BABOK®.

In the December 2025 session, we will focus on Requirements Life Cycle Management, the fifth chapter of the BABOK®. The Requirements Life Cycle Management knowledge area describes the tasks that business analysts perform in order to manage and maintain requirements. The life cycle of requirements begins with the representation of a business need, continues through the development of a solution, and ends when a solution and the requirements that represent it are retired. These requirements will continue to provide value after implementation when they are managed properly.
