FAIR™ program manager Jason Martin generously shared the learnings from two years of FAIR implementation at Highmark Health, the major hospital and health plan administrator
It's official: NIST has formally published FAIR as an Informative Reference to the NIST CSF, the most widely used cybersecurity framework in the U.S, a major milestone in the history of FAIR. This means that there is mapping between FAIR and the NIST CSF standard in the sections covering risk analysis and risk management.
United Arab Emirates FAIR Chapter Chair Osama Salah has been puzzling over the most effective way to use Secondary Loss (incurred by shareholders, customers, etc.) in the FAIR Model—join the discussion in the comments section of this post or on the LINK discussion board (membership required).
Originally published in April, 2019, this summary matrix has now been updated to include the integration of FAIR into the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. NIST has now listed FAIR as an Informative Reference for risk management and risk assessment in the framework.

FAIR Institute President Nick Sanna was among the featured speakers last week at the first annual Cyber Day on the Hill, an event organized to educate Congressional staff members on cutting edge thinking in cybersecurity, both on the national policy level and for protecting their own offices from attack.
Whether you’ve just been introduced to FAIR, recently completed RiskLens’ FAIR training, or learned about FAIR through self-study, pursuing the Open FAIR Certification is a worthwhile goal. As more large companies and regulatory bodies accept FAIR as a leading methodology for quantitatively analyzing risk, the Open FAIR Certification is becoming increasingly valuable.
Using the FAIR model, forward-thinking CISOs are applying quantitative financial analysis of cyber risk to the recommendations generated by the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. FAIR analysis shows how to prioritize among the recommended best practices in the CSF to maximize investment
The FAIR Institute, in partnership with RiskLens, RSA, RiskRecon, CyberVista, and Protiviti, is launching the 2019 Risk Management Maturity Survey, an opportunity for cyber and information risk professionals to rate their risk management practices and benchmark their organizations against their peers.
"Expert judgment has always played a large role in science and engineering. Increasingly, expert judgment is recognized as just another type of scientific data …" -Goossens et al., “Application and Evaluation of an Expert Judgment Elicitation Procedure for Correlations”
Attendees at the FAIR Institute Breakfast during the recent Gartner Summit on Security and Risk Management heard tales of three successful FAIR cyber risk quantification programs from Matthew Martin of LPL Financial, Robert Immella of Key Bank and, lastly, Musso Shaikh, Program Manager, Cyber Threat Intelligence, at Fannie Mae, the big provider of mortgage financing.
