Become a Certified Cyber Risk Management Leader for Your Business - FAIR Institute Launches New Educational Courses
Effective cyber risk management has never been more crucial in today's rapidly evolving threat landscape. That's why we are refreshing and expanding our educational offerings with two powerful new, instructor-led training courses!
What's New?
The FAIR Institute is introducing two industry-shaping courses:
1. FAIR Foundations (designed for Executives, Directors, Managers, and Analysts)
2. FAIR Cyber Risk Analysis (specialized for Analysts)
These courses aren't just rehashing old material – they're specifically designed to complement the updated FAIR™ standards, including FAIR-CAM™ and FAIR-MAM™, alongside the new Cyber Risk Management Framework and Cyber Risk Scenario Taxonomy.
Want to be among the first to experience these courses? Mark your calendars! The inaugural live delivery is happening at the FAIR European Summit on June 3-4, 2025.
Spots are limited, so sign up today to reserve your place and take your cyber risk management skills to the next level!

FAIR Foundations: The Essential Starting Point
This foundational course introduces FAIR™ (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) and its critical role in advancing risk management. If you've been frustrated with traditional risk management approaches, this course will be a breath of fresh air!
You'll explore:
- Why traditional risk management often falls short
- How to apply FAIR across cyber, cybersecurity, and operational risks
- Fundamental risk concepts, including a comprehensive look at the FAIR model
- Key components like risk scenario scoping, FAIR-CAM, estimations, and Monte Carlo simulations
The best part? This course is required for all FAIR certifications, making it the perfect entry point for anyone looking to build or enhance their risk analysis credentials.
FAIR Cyber Risk Analysis: For the Hands-On Analyst
Ready to take your skills to the next level? This advanced course is designed for analysts who want to apply FAIR™ principles to real-world cybersecurity risk scenarios.
You'll gain expertise in:
- FAIR-CAM™ and FAIR-MAM™ applications
- Learning the role of automated data inputs for risk analysis
- Recognizing the components of a cyber risk management system
- Implementing continuous cyber risk monitoring
- Advanced modeling techniques for cyber threats
This course is perfect for analysts who want to move beyond point-in-time quantification into continuous monitoring and advanced modeling.
Why This Matters for Your Career
Completing these courses offers numerous benefits:
- Gain a recognized credential in cyber risk management
- Develop practical skills applicable to real-world scenarios
- Secure a competitive edge in risk management, governance, and compliance roles
These courses reflect the next evolution of FAIR™, as outlined in Jack Jones' book, "Managing and Measuring Information Risk." The FAIR Institute is expanding beyond risk quantification to help organizations operationalize FAIR™ for risk measurement, continuous monitoring, and strategic decision-making.
How These Courses Fit into the Certification Landscape
The new courses are designed to complement and expand upon the Open FAIR certification program:
- FAIR Foundations serves as a prerequisite for all FAIR certifications
- FAIR Cyber Risk Analysis provides deep technical skills for analysts looking to advance their capabilities
These courses bridge the crucial gap between FAIR theory and real-world application, helping professionals effectively navigate today's complex threat landscape.
In addition to being available at the Europe Summit, these courses will be taught before the upcoming APAC Summit in Sydney in July and pre-FAIRCON25 in November.
