Self-Reflection for Cybersecurity and Business Analysis 46:14

In this episode of Business Analysis Live! , host, Susan Moore, is joined by Bindu Channaveerappa, business analysis practitioner, speaker and author of the new book, Cybersecurity and Business Analysis, to discuss the connection between cybersecurity and business. The episode begins by addressing common misconceptions about cybersecurity, such as the idea that it is strictly a technical domain, and introduces a broader perspective that involves business processes, human factors, and proactive risk management. Bindu explains how traditional cybersecurity approaches, which often focus on technical solutions like firewalls and anti-virus systems, are incomplete without incorporating business analysis. She emphasizes the concept of "shifting left," a strategy that encourages business analysis professionals to consider security from the earliest stages of a project. This proactive approach helps prevent costly issues later in the project lifecycle, ensuring security is integrated as a core component rather than a last-minute addition. The conversation then explores into Bindu’s personal journey of discovering how cybersecurity and business analysis intersect, including how preparing for IIBA’s Certificate in Cybersecurity Analysis (CCA) made her an advocate for greater awareness among business analysis professionals. She shares how her experiences inspired her to write a book that provides practical strategies for integrating cybersecurity into everyday business analysis activities. Bindu highlights how self-reflection is a core competency for business analysis professionals in understanding biases, evaluating decisions, and analyzing risk more effectively. By applying reflective practices, business analysis professionals can become better equipped to identify vulnerabilities, consider ethical implications, and make more informed decisions when it comes to cybersecurity.
