The 2025 FAIR Conference in New York in November will be the first major conference in the cybersecurity world to fully explore cyber risk management for artificial intelligence.
Training Days: Nov. 2-3
Conference Sessions: Nov. 4-5
Venue: The Glasshouse, 660 12th Ave., New York City
"Resetting Cyber Risk in the Age of AI” is the theme of FAIRCON25, a recognition that as the AI wave rolls in, the pace of change in technology – and its corresponding cyber risks – accelerates at unprecedented speed. Cyber risk management must evolve, and we structured the FAIR Conference to give you the insights to meet the new challenges of AI as both a source of new risks and an advanced technology for risk management.
A highlight of the conference will be a workshop (by invitation) “AI Risk Management for CISOs: A FAIR-Inspired Framework for Governing Responsible AI Adoption.” You’ll learn the components of an AI system, the most likely risks, the controls you need and how to deploy them, and tips on change management.
The conference will also cover the latest techniques built on the FAIR Cyber Risk Management Framework, including
- Continuous risk monitoring and quantification
- Risk-based investment planning
- Data visualization and analytics
- Automating and scaling a cyber risk management program
Here’s a preview of AI-related content from the FAIRCON25 agenda.
