Description:

This comprehensive instructor-led training provides a solid foundation in the FAIR™ Standard by combining expert guidance with an interactive and hands-on learning approach.

Delivered over two consecutive days (6 hours per day), either in person or remotely via Microsoft Teams, this course offers a structured pathway to mastering the FAIR™ Standard applied to the financial measurement of cyber and technology risks.

Participants explore both theoretical concepts and practical methodologies, with an in-depth introduction to the FAIR taxonomy and its associated analysis process.

The course addresses the limitations of qualitative risk assessment approaches based on nominal or ordinal scales, the cognitive biases affecting expert judgment, and the advantages of using ratio-scale measurements in risk analysis. Through guided exercises and discussions, participants will learn to:

  • Define and model risk scenarios using FAIR™
  • Perform financial estimations
  • Interpret and effectively present analysis results

This training also serves as preparation for the OpenFAIR™ 2 Foundation certification exam, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of FAIR concepts.
(Note: PearsonVUE exam fees are not included. Additional self-study may be required prior to taking the certification exam.)

The instructor-led format fosters a collaborative and engaging learning experience, providing direct access to an expert to ask questions, receive feedback, and deepen understanding of the topics covered.
