(ISC)² Members Can Access Risk Analytics Platform to Manage Cybersecurity Economics

Clearwater Fla. and Spokane Wash., Oct. 26, 2016—(ISC)²®and RiskLens, Inc. today announced a business partnership to empower CISOs and cybersecurity professionals to assess the financial impact of their security initiatives and facilitate smarter board-level guidance and decision making.

As part of the partnership, (ISC)² members will get discounted access to training on FAIR, the international standard cyber risk quantification model, as well as to RiskLens’ Cyber Risk Quantification platform that is purpose-built on FAIR.

(ISC)² members are eligible to receive 50% off of FAIR training, and a 30% discount on the first-year subscription to RiskLens.

When it comes to cyber risk, information security professionals and their board directors often speak a different language, making it difficult to understand the impact of decisions and demonstrate ROI.

“FAIR provides a standard taxonomy that can help our members articulate cybersecurity risk in consistent terms across their organizations and a model for assessing risk in quantifiable terms,” said (ISC) 2 Chief Executive Officer David Shearer. “We believe that the partnership with RiskLens provides an avenue for our members to become more effective in communicating about cyber risk to the business and the board and enable cost-effective decision making.”

“The time has come to manage cybersecurity not just from the technical compliance perspective, but from the business perspective. Business leaders and regulators alike are demanding increasingly the prioritization of cybersecurity initiatives based on their capacity to reduce risk. We commend (ISC)² for providing its members a standards-based approach to meet those demands.” said Nicola (Nick) Sanna, CEO of RiskLens.”
