The Case for Cyber Risk Quantification in Government Risk Management
FAIR practitioners in the federal government in particular are motivated by the many directives and standards pushing for better accountability in cyber risk management, including the new standard from NIST, Integrating Cybersecurity and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) (NISTIR 8286), recommending risk quantification and the FAIR™ standard specifically for ERM. OMB Circular No. A-123 mandated agencies to establish an ERM capability and a risk profile as part of strategic annual reviews. NIST had previously recommended FAIR in the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) that builds on NIST SP 800-53, the security controls guidelines for federal agencies to comply with the Federal Information Security Act (FISMA).
“One of our key goals was to put in a quantitative risk management program so we could have stronger conversations with the business” side, Energy Dept. CISO Emery Csulak said at a recent cybersecurity forum hosted by NIST. With FAIR, his organization is now well on the way to “convince leadership that we’ve got a good story to tell, that our IT and cybersecurity professionals are becoming more professional and are able to engage in the level of conversation that they are expecting” from risk managers at the Department.
