Educating yourself on better risk management practices through Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) is the key to building a business aligned risk management program for your organization.
Over 5,000 of your peers have joined the FAIR Institute, a rapidly growing, non-profit professional organization dedicated to advancing the discipline of measuring and managing information risk. The Institute was recently named One of the Most Important Industry Organizations of the Last 30 Years at the SC Media 30th Anniversary Awards Ceremony during the 2019 RSA Conference.
Luke Bader is Director, Memberships and Programs for the FAIR Institute
Networking Opportunities
Institute members come from some of the largest and most sophisticated companies around the world. Membership is comprised of:
- Representation from 87 different countries
- Nearly 30% of Fortune 1000 companies are represented in Institute membership
- 8 of the Fortune 10 organizations have members in the Institute
- 75% of the Fortune 50 are member organizations of the FAIR Institute
The FAIR Institute gives you access to these members, some of the smartest people in cyber and technology risk management, to hear their advice and ask them questions through networking experiences at many events throughout the year. Members also work on joint projects to benefit their organizations and the risk profession.
