It’s estimated that already 30% of the Fortune 1000 use FAIR in some fashion and that’s projected to grow to 50% by 2020. Some of the FAIR-empowered organizations active in the Institute include Bank of America, Cisco and ADP. These leading thinkers are joined by an impressive list of other organizations and security and risk professionals.
No wonder word about the FAIR Institute is spreading – and virally. The typical new member comes from word-of-mouth referrals (including via our growing roster of local chapters) or internet searches. See our growth stats in the infographic below.
Another marker of the growth of FAIR and risk quantification is in training and education. In the past year, the Institute's FAIR training program launched new courses, including an online/video course, for professionals seeking hands-on experience leading to FAIR certification by The Open Group. At the end of 2017, the FAIR Institute introduced the FAIR-U app, a free training tool for performing FAIR analyses. Most telling that the future is FAIR: the growth in the University Curriculum, now offered for formal education in risk quantification at 15 universities, including Carnegie Mellon and other top schools.
Taking into account what we're hearing from our partner community - including RiskLens, RSA and RiskRecon - about a surge in adoption of their solutions for the enterprise enablement of FAIR - all signs point to one conclusion...there is a revolution underway and you as FAIR Members are leading it.
If you are reading this and you aren't already a FAIR member - now is the time to signal to the world that you too are a leading thinker in the area of cyber risk.
