Scoping a FAIR Risk Assessment
[May 15, 2012]
I recently had the privilege of kicking of the FAIR virtual community of interest by giving a presentation on the importance of Scoping a FAIR risk assessment. I really believe this group has the potential to be very valuable to the greater FAIR community. We had 34 people attend the meeting.
See below for the embedded deck:
*Note: I walked through 2 key examples within FAIRiq which is not part of the slides.

A great blog post from Pablo Salazar, Manager of Cisco’s Security Posture Assessment (SPA) team on the benefits of FAIR for assessing risk.

Cisco has found, just like Redpoint Risk has, that FAIR can provide clients with truly valuable information and understanding of risks.
