Pittsburgh Chapter Meeting - March 2026
Building Cyber Risk and FAIR in Tandem: Using Quantification to Mature Risk Programs
March 02, 2026  ·  Highmark Health
4:30 PM - 6:00 PM (ET)

Join us for an exclusive event focused on building and maturing cyber risk management programs through FAIR™. Whether you are just starting out and need guidance on launching a program or working with FAIR™ every day and need a jolt of inspiration, this event is for you!

This session will feature:

  • Will Klotz, Managing Security Consultant at GuidePoint Security

Don't Wait for Perfect: Growing FAIR and Cyber Risk Programs Together

  • Skip the chicken-and-egg dilemma. This session reveals how leading organizations bypass the trap of waiting for a "perfect" cyber risk program before implementing FAIR quantitative analysis. Learn the practical playbook for maturing both capabilities simultaneously—using FAIR as an active tool to build governance, clarify risk ownership, and standardize threat modeling while generating credible results from day one. Discover which foundations you actually need before your first analysis, what can evolve iteratively, and how to sequence development to maintain momentum and stakeholder confidence. Real-world lessons highlight common pitfalls and pragmatic patterns that make FAIR decision-useful even in immature environments.

Hosted at the state-of-the-art Highmark Health building, this event will provide a professional and engaging environment for learning and collaboration.


Register today and join us after the meeting for a networking happy hour at City Works from 6-8 PM, sponsored by Institute Technical Advisor, Safe Security!
