WEBCAST: RISK ANALYSIS USING THE FAIR (FACTOR ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION RISK) FRAMEWORK
Available On Demand: August 23, 2014
Join us for a one hour webcast exploring the FAIR framework, an international open standard currently used in companies from small credit unions to Fortune 100 giants. The discussion will cover the practical application of the framework and its effectiveness in helping practitioners answer: how much risk does the organization have; where is risk concentrated; how much more (or less) risk will the organization have if…; and what is the most efficient strategy for managing a risk.
Presenter: Jack Jones is the Co-Founder, President, CXOWARE and the author/creator of the Factor Analysis of Information Risk Framework.

Members of the press are invited to join RIMS webcasts. For additional information about the Society’s Professional Development programming or to participate, please visit www.rims.org/education.
