All summer, we are reading and discussing the FAIR™ book, Measuring and Managing Information Risk by Jack Freund and Jack Jones, the authoritative text on quantitative cyber risk analysis and risk management, with a new discussion guide every two weeks to help FAIR summer book clubs spark conversation.
This week, we cover Chapter 4 (on FAIR terminology) and Chapter 5 (on measurement), two key categories for both understanding the FAIR approach and generally clearing up the rampant confusion surrounding risk analysis. Can you define a “loss event” and describe how it would unfold at your organization? Discuss.

Also, we’re hosting a discussion board in LINK, the FAIR Institute’s community site, for further discussion or posting of questions – FAIR experts and community members will answer. (A FAIR Institute membership and signup for LINK is required to access the discussions.
