Come listen to and learn from the author of FAIR, Jack Jones, representatives from OMB, and cyber risk officers from federal agencies that have started on this journey.
This chapter of the FAIR Institute, a non-profit, expert learning organization, was born out of the desire of several federal government agencies and the White House/OMB to learn more about the standard FAIR risk model and how it can help them to come up with a common risk taxonomy, a shared cyber risk quantification methodology, and better ways to assess the effectiveness of risk mitigations and the adequacy of cybersecurity budgets to meet Executive Order 13800.After completing this course, you will have the skills and resources necessary to measure the risk associated with scenarios of all types. This will prepare you to fundamentally change the way risk management is conducted in your organization and make huge contributions to the protection of your company's value.

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.
