#  Cyber Risk Quantification (FAIR)

> Quantify cyber risk using the FAIR model with financial impact and probabilistic analysis. Learn through mentor-led, practical scenarios to support board-level risk decisions and reporting.

## Overview

Cyber Risk Quantification (FAIR) provides a structured approach to measuring and communicating cyber risk in financial terms. The course focuses on applying the FAIR model to move beyond qualitative assessments and enable data-driven decision-making.

Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, learners will perform probabilistic risk analysis, estimate loss exposure, and model financial impact. The programme also explores how to design risk appetite statements and communicate findings effectively to senior stakeholders.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to quantify cyber risks, justify security investments, and present clear, evidence-based insights to leadership teams. This course supports organisations seeking to align cybersecurity with business and financial priorities.
