Certified: The CCISO Prepcast

Quantifying risk in financial terms is a vital executive skill, and this episode introduces the FAIR (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) framework to help you build that capability. We explain how FAIR enables CISOs to evaluate risk in dollars and probabilities, allowing for clearer prioritization and investment justification. You’ll learn how to distinguish between loss event frequency and probable loss magnitude, and how those elements work together to support defensible, board-ready metrics.

FAIR is gaining traction across industries because it bridges the gap between technical findings and financial decision-making. We walk through key components of the framework, common data challenges, and how FAIR results can be integrated into enterprise risk reporting. If you want to lead like a CISO who speaks the language of CFOs and boards, this episode equips you with a structured way to bring quantitative clarity to even the most ambiguous risk decisions.
