TechNovelle Roundtable 5.0 - Strategy First Security: Empowering Business Analysts to Lead Zero Trust Planning

​This roundtable explores how Zero Trust can evolve from a security framework into a strategic business enabler led by the insight and context business analysts bring. Often treated as a technical initiative, Zero Trust is most effective when grounded in business goals, data governance, and real-world workflows.

​We’ll ask critical questions such as:
• What if Zero Trust was about enabling agility, not restricting access?
• How can analysts shape policies that reflect how work actually happens?
• What happens when access controls are misaligned with business priorities?
• Can a strategy-first security model accelerate innovation and trust?

​Modern threats require more than controls they demand context. Poorly governed access breaks productivity, damages AI models, and erodes customer trust. Analysts understand workflows, data use, and stakeholder needs, making them essential to designing secure, scalable systems.

​This session highlights how:
• Zero Trust is shifting from IT enforcement to business-aligned strategy
• Organizations are embedding analysts into access planning and governance
• Cross-functional security frameworks can drive both risk reduction and growth
• Real-world examples show how strategy-first security boosts resilience and speed

​Join us for a practical, forward-looking conversation on empowering business analysts to lead the future of security design.
