Open FAIR — Open FAIR 2 Certification
The Open Group's FAIR (Factor Analysis of Information Risk) certification covering quantitative cyber risk analysis — the methodology for expressing cybersecurity risk in financial terms that business leaders understand. Based on the Open FAIR 2 standard (superseding the original Open FAIR). Not DoD 8140 approved but growing in recognition as organizations shift from qualitative to quantitative risk management. Particularly valued in financial services, insurance, and any environment where security risk must be expressed in dollar terms for business decision-making. Pairs naturally with CRISC for a comprehensive risk quantification credential stack.
