This workshop is for anyone who wants to enhance their knowledge and skills in integrating cybersecurity with business analysis. In particular: business analysts; product owners; project leaders; testers; business change managers and anyone involved in product development and managing change.

The AssistKD Cybersecurity Foundation Workshop educates business analysts, and all those who use BA skills with the knowledge and skills necessary to holistically integrate cybersecurity analysis into their practice, through a blend of theoretical foundations and hands-on exercises.

At the end of this workshop, delegates shall be able to: 

  • Understand the importance of holistic cybersecurity integration in business analysis
  • Gain a clear understanding of key cybersecurity principles, terminologies, and their importance in today's business environment

How do AssistKD’s virtual workshops work?

AssistKD’s virtual workshops are conducted live and online in a ‘virtual’ classroom space via Microsoft Teams. 
On the day of the workshop, we ask delegates to log on in time for a 9am start. The workshop ends at 4.30pm. An hour is ring-fenced for lunch, but timings can vary.

Designed to be interactive, responsive and engaging, our virtual (live) courses are led by trainers who are experts in their fields, with real-life industry experience.

The benefit of the virtual classroom is that delegates enjoy all the benefits of ‘in-real-time' training, but with no travel requirements or overnight stays.

Regular comfort breaks, team exercises and break-out sessions keep delegates focused and reinforce learning.
