National Harbor, MD, Sept. 25, 2019 – The FAIR Institute, an expert, nonprofit organization led by information risk officers, CISOs and business executives to develop standard information, cybersecurity and operational risk management practices based on the Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) model, recognized three risk management leaders this week during its annual FAIR Conference (FAIRCON19) at National Harbor, MD.
In an article just out on FedScoop, Why government is slow to endorse frameworks for quantifying cybersecurity risk, Dave Nyczepir reports that, while qualitative, red-yellow-green approaches risk still dominate, the move to FAIR-based, quantification-driven risk management is well underway among federal agencies – actually, despite the FedScoop headline, at high speed by the cautious standards of the federal bureaucracy. The article quotes FAIR Institute Chairman Jack Jones and President Nick Sanna extensively.
