This short module is specifically designed for executives and executive committee members who are responsible for making decisions that impact the organization’s exposure to cyber and technology risk.

In one hour, the session highlights the limitations of qualitative risk management approaches and demonstrates how data-driven governance, supported by the FAIR™ Standard, provides quantified, comparable, and defensible inputs for cybersecurity investment decisions.

The training illustrates how cyber risk quantification integrates into recognized governance frameworks (ISO 31000, COSO ERM, the Three Lines Model, NIS2, DORA, etc.) and strengthens alignment between executive leadership, risk teams, and technical functions.

The format is intentionally decision- and governance-oriented: minimal technical detail, clear key messages, concrete examples, and actionable recommendations to move toward data-driven cyber risk management.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Identify the limitations of qualitative risk analyses currently used within organizations

• Understand how cyber risk quantification using the FAIR™ Standard can improve strategic decision-making

• Position cyber risk management within governance frameworks and regulatory requirements (standards, NIS2, DORA, etc.)

• Identify the first practical steps to deploy or strengthen a data-driven cyber risk management program

Who Should Attend

Executives, executive committee members, cyber program sponsors, and leaders of key support functions (CIO, CFO, CHRO, Chief Risk Officer, General Counsel, business unit leaders, etc.).

Prerequisites

None. This module is designed for participants without a technical background in cybersecurity or FAIR™.
