Zero Trust in CRQ? Or CRQ in Zero Trust? - Sponsored by Ostrich Cyber-Risk

Implementing Zero Trust requires whole-organization support and commitment, from top-level management through to individual practitioners and analysts. A Zero Trust transformation necessitates changes to people, processes, and technology to embrace an asset- and data-centric approach to security. This shift to organizational culture and strategy is an ideal time to also transform risk management and analysis processes, moving away from purely qualitative assessments to more quantitative analyses focused on the assets that matter for business success. Join this webinar to learn more about where cyber risk quantification (CRQ) can be integrated into a broader Zero Trust transformation and the value that adding CRQ provides to having business conversations. Security should enable business, not hinder it, and combining CRQ techniques with a Zero Trust approach provides a streamlined way for this to occur. Sponsored by Ostrich Cyber-Risk.

Using FAIR to Be Compliant on ISO/IEC 27001

ISO/IEC 27001 is the globally recognized standard for information security management. It guides organizations in establishing, implementing, and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). For organizations seeking to safeguard sensitive data, meet regulatory or contractual compliance standards, and build trust with stakeholders, achieving ISO 27001-2022 certification is often a mandatory milestone. However, many organizations face challenges in interpreting ISO 27001's requirements, integrating it with other frameworks, and maintaining ongoing compliance. The FAIR Cyber Risk Management Framework (FAIR-CRMF) is a powerful tool to address these challenges. The FAIR-CRMF provides a structured, quantitative approach to risk management based on the FAIR standard, enabling enterprises to implement ISO 27001 efficiently while aligning their security strategies with business objectives.

How to Use FAIR to Mature Your Cyber Risk Management Program with NIST CSF 2.0

This white paper is a guide to a practical, advanced approach to building a Cybersecurity Risk Management Program (CRMP), emphasizing integration with the NIST CSF 2.0. It leverages the CSF’s Govern function as the structural foundation for defining, measuring, and maturing cybersecurity risk governance to create actionable steps for bridging technical execution with strategic decision-making. WHAT: A CRMP establishes a structured, risk-driven framework that systematically identifies, assesses, mitigates, and monitors cybersecurity risks, integrating with organizational objectives and regulatory requirements to provide a repeatable process for safeguarding critical systems and data. WHY: A strong CRMP is essential for defending against cyber threats, ensuring business continuity, and meeting regulatory requirements like NIST CSF, ISO 27001, GDPR, and PCI-DSS. It provides a structured approach to risk management, aligning security efforts with business goals while preventing financial and reputational damage. WHO: Stakeholders in the CRMP include executives and board members, as well as IT, legal, cyber, and business function or operational teams, all of whom rely on the program’s outputs to align security efforts with their related roles in governance, finance, technical execution, and regulatory adherence. WHERE: Within an organization, the CRMP operates through the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) function, supported by risk analysts and operational teams, embedding risk management practices into daily processes and strategic planning across all departments. HOW: Leveraging the CSF’s Govern function, this guide defines implementation tiers that guide organizations in assessing their current governance maturity, establishing risk management policies and enhancing program effectiveness through a structured, scalable roadmap tailored to the organization’s unique risk profile.. WHEN: The CRMP is a continuous, ongoing process rather than a point-in-time exercise; it incorporates real-time threat monitoring, period risk assessments, and iterative improvements to address dynamic cybersecurity threats and organizational changes effectively. Shift Right: By integrating the Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) model, the CRMP advances to a more data-driven and forward-looking approach, allowing for quantification of risk in financial terms and providing an avenue for precise, predictive decision-making designed to optimize outcomes. This guide assumes familiarity with the overall NIST cybersecurity methodology and aims to equip organizations with actionable insights to develop, refine, and sustain an effective cyber risk governance strategy.

A FAIR Framework for Effective Cyber Risk Management

Cybersecurity leaders face an increasingly complex risk landscape where the stakes—financial, operational, and regulatory—continue to climb. The FAIR Institute’s latest white paper, Integrating FAIR Models for Cyber Risk Management, written by Pankaj Goyal and me, provides an invaluable blueprint for addressing these challenges. By detailing the integration of the FAIR Model, FAIR Controls Analytics Model (FAIR-CAM), and FAIR Materiality Assessment Model (FAIR-MAM), this paper illustrates a robust framework that quantifies cyber risk in financial terms while aligning security practices with business objectives. This paper was developed to bridge a gap in how organizations quantify and manage cyber risks. Many existing approaches to cybersecurity focus on improving controls (mitigating vulnerabilities) without a clear understanding of the broader impact on business operations or compliance mandates. Furthermore, the 2023 SEC Cybersecurity Disclosure Rule has heightened the need for transparent, standardized methods for reporting material risks and estimating potential losses. By weaving together three interrelated FAIR standards, this paper sets out to empower Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), cyber risk leaders, and other stakeholders to: quantify risk in terms of probable financial loss, taking into account control effectiveness and its direct impact on risk factors; evaluate materiality with a structured, defensible approach to loss estimation; and align risk management efforts, especially investments to improve controls, with business priorities and regulatory compliance. For CISOs and cyber risk management leaders, this white paper addresses how to: Bridge the Cyber-Business Gap: By quantifying risk in financial terms, the integrated FAIR models enable leaders to communicate risk in a language the board and executives understand—dollars and cents. Optimize Control Effectiveness: FAIR-CAM offers a structured methodology for understanding how controls interact as a system, allowing organizations to invest strategically in the most impactful controls. Meet Regulatory Demands: With the SEC’s requirement to disclose “material” risks, FAIR-MAM provides the granularity and rigor needed to develop accurate and defensible loss estimates for reporting. Enhance Decision-Making: By integrating these models into a Cyber Risk Management System (CRMS), organizations gain real-time insights (situational awareness), enabling better prioritization and resource allocation. Our paper addresses the following key topics: The FAIR Model: Foundation for Risk Quantification At its core, the FAIR Model decomposes risk into Loss Event Frequency and Loss Magnitude, providing a clear structure for estimating annualized loss exposure (ALE). By integrating threat intelligence and vulnerability data, FAIR enables dynamic, continuous risk monitoring. FAIR-CAM: A “Controls Physiology” Approach FAIR-CAM expands on the FAIR Model by categorizing controls into three domains — Loss Event Controls (reduce loss frequency or magnitude), Variance Management Controls (ensure control reliability), and Decision Support Controls (align decisions with organizational objectives). This systemic perspective highlights interdependencies between controls, ensuring a more reliable measurement of their effectiveness. FAIR-MAM: Granular Loss Magnitude Analysis FAIR-MAM addresses the challenge of quantifying the financial impact of cyber incidents. By breaking down losses into 10 modules and 26 categories, it enables analysts to provide more precise, defensible estimates. This is particularly valuable for meeting regulatory reporting requirements like those outlined by the SEC. Role of the Cyber Risk Management System (CRMS) A CRMS operationalizes these FAIR standards by centralizing data, automating analyses, and enabling real-time monitoring. It provides a unified platform for integrating risk quantification, control evaluation, and loss analysis, ensuring decisions are both data-driven and aligned with business goals. Conclusion This white paper serves as an essential guide for organizations seeking to implement cyber risk management at scale using FAIR. By integrating the FAIR Model, FAIR-CAM, and FAIR-MAM, organizations can shift from reactive, siloed security measures to proactive, aligned risk management strategies. For cyber risk leaders navigating an increasingly complex threat landscape, this framework offers not just a roadmap but a competitive advantage—demonstrating resilience, transparency, and strategic alignment in the face of growing cyber challenges.

Why Things can go from Bad to "BOOM" Pretty Quickly

First we start with a CISO panel, “Why Things can go from Bad to "BOOM" Pretty Quickly.” A common paradox in security is that successful prevention breeds complacency. Significant investments in security often lead to reduced incidents, which can inadvertently create the perception that security measures are unnecessary. This can result in budget cuts, deferred upgrades, and neglect of emerging threats. Over time, this decline in security posture increases the likelihood of a catastrophic breach or a gradual erosion of defenses. This panel will discuss what we can do to put in place the counter forces to sustain security. Reminder to please use the QR code in your program to submit question virtually throughout the session.

What the New SEC Regulation on Cyber Reporting Means for the Risk Management Profession - Webinar

As many of us know, the SEC Commissioners voted to adopt the proposed rule on cyber security. This rule aims to elevate the cyber risk reporting and management practices for public companies (registrants) in the US, to help investors in such companies consider the probable impact of cyber risk as they make investment decisions. This will be a forcing function for companies to adopt trusted cyber risk quantification (CRQ) models such as FAIR™ and adopt processes and tools that provide them with visibility into their material risks and incidents. Tune in to hear industry experts as they explain and discuss what this all means for the risk management profession. Key advice will be shared on how to navigate these new rules together and how CRQ is the top way you can help your organizations be compliant.

GRC and CRQ - A (Good) Story of Codependency - Sponsored Webinar with Ostrich Cyber-Risk

In order to understand how best to plan for and execute Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) as a practice and a program, it’s best to start by understanding how it fits into more traditional Governance Risk Compliance (GRC). Leveraging a CRQ tool in a GRC program provides a means to measure cyber risk levels objectively. CRQ is not intended to ‘replace’ or ‘bolt on’ to an existing GRC program. Instead, CRQ informs an evolution of existing practices, and those practices plus CRQ must be taken into consideration as they blend into an enhanced approach to decision-making by leveraging the common ground: METRICS. In this webinar, you will learn how GRC programs and CRQ tools together will help you: More accurately estimate and track exposure of financial losses Prioritize between compliance and regulation requirements Prioritize cyber investments, allocate budget and adjust strategy Highlight the decrease in potential financial losses to determine which regulatory or compliance requirement is worth investing in Inform stakeholders how you are meeting new cyber regulations

Measurement Planning Webinar - Sponsored Webinar with Ostrich Cyber-Risk

Often, when getting started with CRQ, organizations tend to focus on how to quantify individual scenarios.  While this is an important step, it soon becomes clear that measuring risk for decision support purposes requires a suite of scenarios working in combination to suit a variety of purposes.  This “scenario suite” should be treated as one entity composed of individual scenarios that are collectively comparable, fit for purpose, re-useable, and sustainable.   At this webinar, we will introduce the concept of developing a “Measurement Plan”  to support this concept and we will touch on several techniques that can be used to assure your Cyber Risk Quantification work meets both current and future needs.
