As organizations continue to adjust to the current digital climate security teams have had to shift their focus - enhancing work-from-home security measures, managing changes to the digital supply chain, monitoring the ever-expanding data universe - but recent research has shown that some businesses are ignoring some basic security principles, thus leaving themselves exposed to serious threats.
RiskRecon and Cyentia Institute examined how organizations are handling essential security practices and the impact of failing to manage these properly. The research has found that:
Join our webinar on Thursday, September. 17th at 11 AM EST as Dr. Wade Baker, Partner at Cyentia Institute and Jon Ehret, VP of Strategy & Risk from RiskRecon discuss the findings from our research study and the security implications facing organizations who are not following these foundational security practices.

Many information security teams are running risk assessments that are qualitative in nature and do not provide results in terms business leaders and decision makers can understand. Boards, senior management, auditors and CISOs demand quick readouts and better understanding of their cyber security risk exposure: “What are our top risks for bottom-line impact?”
Enter the RiskLens Rapid Risk Assessment, the new solution created specifically to address this challenge. Using the RiskLens SaaS platform, built on FAIR™, organizations can run risk analyses in minutes (instead of months) that present loss exposure in dollar values and produce flexible, customizable reporting that clearly prioritizes risks by probable impact.
Join us on this webinar to learn more about this new solution and how it can help get your organization begin its FAIR journey by:

Assessing cybersecurity risk has taken on a new meaning as organizations shift toward virtual, and companies focusing on maintaining operations. Third-party risk practitioners are witnessing a supply chain shift – current suppliers might not be viable any longer, and new vendor relationships might bring an increased level of risk that may exceed an established threshold.
Third-party risk teams understand that velocity is critical to their ability to accurately assess the cyber risk associated with on-boarding new vendors, as well as current vendors where perhaps cyber hygiene hasn’t been prioritized. A new level of third-party risk management that teams require given today’s business climate – one that is automated and risk-prioritized, and that can be quantitatively measured for optimal risk outcomes.
During this webinar, attendees will hear more about:

Organizations (and professions) often resist change even when changing is demonstrably going to result in improvement. And it should be no surprise to anyone that this is also true when we’re talking about changing how we think about, evaluate, and communicate cyber and technology risk.
In this final webinar of a three-part series, Jack will discuss the change management component of adopting better risk measurement methods. This will include important topics like; where to begin, defining your organization’s roadmap, and overcoming common obstacles.
Wednesday, May 20 at 2 PM BST / 9 AM EST | GoToWebinar
It is one thing to conceptually understand the limitations of common cyber risk measurement methods and know that a better method exists. But until you see these differences action, it can be difficult to fully grasp their significance.
In this second of a three-part webinar series, Jack will compare and contrast a common risk measurement method versus FAIR by applying both to a risk analysis scenario where an important decision is at stake. By watching the analysis unfold you will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for their differences. This process will also shed light on some of the misperceptions and fallacies that surround quantitative risk measurement.
Thursday, May 14 at 2 PM BST / 9 AM EST | GoToWebinar
Successfully managing today’s complex and dynamic cyber and technology risk landscape requires being able to prioritize well and communicate effectively to executive stakeholders. This is especially true when budgets are being trimmed and every expense is scrutinized.
In this first of a three-part webinar series, Jack Jones, 3x CISO and author of the FAIR Model. will discuss the cyber and technology risk measurement methods commonly used today and why they fail to meet those two requirements. He will also share three criteria for reliable risk measurement (whether qualitative or quantitative) and introduce the Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) model for risk measurement.

Risk management expectations are evolving, especially with regards to how risk is being measured and communicated. Although heat maps and qualitative scales have been common practice for years, the industry has begun a strong shift toward quantitative methods. The advantages are well-established — more effective prioritization, an ability to understand the cost-benefit proposition of risk management improvements, and the ability communicate with business executives in terms they understand.
This half-day session, led by Jack Jones, 3x CISO and author of the FAIR model, will provide clarity on why the industry is evolving toward quantitative methods, as well as the challenges and practical solutions for leveraging these methods. The emphasis will be on gaining a pragmatic understanding of why, how, and what to avoid. Learn more and register for the event at RSAC2020. Use the code 10UFAIRFD for $150 off!

Directors are constantly faced with the need to find the best ways to discuss and quantify cybersecurity risk. They need to more clearly understand the financial exposure that cyberbreach incidents represent to their business, and be able to discuss technical issues based on what they mean to the company’s bottom line. Boards should strive to be able to hold discussions with their management teams about cybersecurity and cyber risks where cyber risk is no longer evaluated in technical terms or in "red-yellow-green" heat maps, but in the economic language of business.
Join NACD and RiskLens for this roundtable event with Nick Sanna, RiskLens CEO, and Jack Jones, RiskLens co-founder and creator of the FAIR standard, on November 13 in San Francisco.

Keynote:
Risky Business: Strengthening Your Cyber Risk Management And Culture To Build Trust
Presented by: Jack Jones, Author and Chairman, The FAIR Institute
As cybercrime continues to rise, it needs to be a key feature on the corporate risk management agenda. But gaining and maintaining the trust of senior executives, the Board, regulators, and customers is challenging. Checking boxes in a compliance framework won’t do it, nor will the lame risk measurement practices that are commonplace today. In order to build and maintain trust, we need to fundamentally change our approach to risk management.

Without it, organizations are unable to identify and resolve their most important issues, and will invariably waste resources and delay resolving important issues.
