Online Meeting | January 28, 2026 | 11:00 AM-12:00 PM ET
Want to know more about the FAIR Institute's standards work? Please join our January Open Forum, hosted by Committee Chair Jack Jones and Managing Director Todd Tucker, along with other committee members. We'll introduce the committee, talk about how it works, give an overview of the standards framework, and take questions (and suggestions). We'll keep it somewhat informal and hope for a good conversation.
Webinar | January 29, 2026 | 12:00-1:00 PM ET
Artificial Intelligence promises faster, richer insights for cyber risk quantification — but it also brings hallucinations, biases, and overconfidence. This webinar will explore where AI truly adds value in transforming gut-feel estimates into usable data, and where human judgment and validation remain essential. Attendees will leave with practical strategies to integrate AI into their risk workflows without losing rigor or credibility.
Webinar | February 18, 2026 | 4:00-5:00 PM ET
In this webinar, ORCS Co-Authors Jack Jones and Dr Gavriel Schneider will provide an inside look at the development of the standard and discuss its practical application for organisations seeking to enhance risk intelligence and decision-making maturity. They will explore how ORCS aligns with global risk frameworks, supports more objective cultural assessments, and can be used alongside quantitative risk models such as FAIR to create a more holistic view of organisational risk posture.
Virtual | January 21, 2026 | 12:00-1:00 PM ET
Join the chapter meeting to hear the presentation "The Six Levers That Actually Move Risk (Hint: It's Not Just Controls)" by guest speaker: Tony Martin-Vegue!
Tony will share a "lessons learned" from his days at Netflix building and leading the FAIR based CRQ program. Tony starts from the premise that “controls are just one lever, and often not the biggest one.” Tony will illustrate how most changes in risk come from forces far outside your walls.

This five-day virtual course is designed for professionals who support or manage Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) programs and want to shift from a traditional compliance-based approach to a risk-based strategy using the FAIR™ (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) methodology.
Next Session: February 10, 2026 | 12-1 PM ET
We collaborated with our founder and technical advisor, SAFE Security, to provide a free tool for learners called FAIR-U for Cyber (beta release). Powered by SAFE ONE, FAIR-U for Cyber shows how the FAIR Model, FAIR-CAM, and FAIR-MAM work together in a cyber risk management system (CRMS) to manage risk.
To help learners get the most out of the tool, we host live Office Hours led by Certified FAIR Experts and SAFE Solution Architects.
*Must be logged into FAIR Academy to access.
