From Cyber Risk to Decisions in the AI Era

The pace and complexity of cyber risk have reached a tipping point, now amplified by the rapid adoption of AI across the enterprise. What was once a technical concern is now a core business issue—but most organizations still lack a consistent way to understand and communicate risk across leadership.

AI risk is emerging as the next frontier of cyber risk, introducing new exposures, dependencies, and uncertainties that must be properly assessed to enable—not hinder—AI-driven innovation.

FAIRCON26 is where that challenge gets addressed. It brings together leaders to harmonize risk language across CISOs, CFOs, CROs, and boards—grounding cyber and AI risk in economic terms to support better, faster decisions. Attendees will explore critical topics including AI risk (and AI vendor risk), quantum risk, cyber-OT convergence, and the expansion of FAIR into areas like SecOps and TPRM.

Ultimately, FAIRCON26 is about enabling organizations to align risk with opportunity—turning cyber and AI risk into a clear driver of business decision-making.
