FAIR Institute Summit 2023 - Middle East and Africa

A One-Day Summit on All Things Risk Quantification

March 20, 2023 · Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea

There is a culture change happening in the world of risk management. More and more, companies and agencies are turning to risk quantification to better measure, manage, and report their cyber risks.

As the digital footprint of organizations expand, the need for visibility and executive oversight has increased. Boards and C-suites are demanding improved visibility on cyber risk to make better decisions. Regulatory authorities are increasingly asking for financial disclosure of cyber risks. Current attempts to make sense of cyber risks are making it worse, inefficient, and more costly.

The FAIR™ Standard has emerged as the risk model of choice for organizations aiming to provide better visibility into cyber risk, using a language that the business understands, a financial one. Furthermore, FAIR™ programs are helping organizations quantify the value of their cybersecurity investments in terms of bottom-line impact and cost-effectively manage their cybersecurity initiatives.

We are very pleased to invite you to join us on Monday, March 20 at the first ever FAIR Institute Middle East Summit 2023, to present and discuss how organizations in the Middle East region are leveraging FAIR™ to build or improve their cyber risk management programs.

During the Summit, you will be able to learn best practices from industry experts, engage in interactive Q&A, and network with your peers who are at the forefront of effective cyber risk management.

The Summit is endorsed by the National Cyber Security Center of Jordan.

The full day summit will consist of keynote addresses, panel conversations, and use case presentations. Keynote addresses will be delivered by Jack Jones, 3x CISO, award winning author of the FAIR™ Model, Chairman of the FAIR Institute, and Chief Risk Scientist at RiskLens and Nick Sanna, President of the FAIR Institute and CEO of RiskLens. Additional industry thought leaders and key speakers will be announced soon.

This exclusive event is only for FAIR Institute members and the event will sell out so reserve your spot today!
