Building Stronger Risk Cultures:
Understanding and Applying the Organisational Risk Culture Standard (ORCS)

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.

Defensible Cyber Risk Reporting for Boards, AI, and Regulators

FAIR Institute Seminar at RSAC 2026

Moscone South 301 | March 24, 2026 | 8:30 AM-12:30 PM PT

The future of cyber risk management isn't about generating more data. It's about enabling better, more defensible decisions.

Attend the Institute’s educational seminar at RSAC26 to examine why many existing cyber risk reporting practices no longer meet the needs of executives, boards, or regulators. 

Through real-world examples and an evolving AI risk scenario, the workshop demonstrates how cyber risk management is moving beyond periodic, qualitative assessments toward continuous, measurement-driven, decision-ready risk intelligence. Attendees will gain practical insight into how quantitative risk analysis supports clearer communication, stronger governance, and more defensible decision-making.

AI Has Changed the Risk Conversation. Boards Know It. CISOs Feel It.

FAIR Institute Breakfast Meeting during RSAC26

St. Regis San Francisco | March 25, 2026 | 7:30-10:00 AM PT

Artificial intelligence is no longer an emerging technology risk. It is a board-level decision accelerator with unclear exposure, shifting regulatory expectations, and real financial consequences.

Join the FAIR Institute and Technical Advisor SAFE, for a candid executive breakfast discussion with senior leaders who sit at the board table, advise boards, invest in AI-driven companies, and are accountable for cyber risk outcomes. These leaders will share how AI has fundamentally changed how they evaluate risk, make decisions, and govern uncertainty and what they now need from CISOs to keep pace.
