By Saket Modi – CEO, Safe Security, and Nicola Sanna – President, Safe Security (Former CEO, RiskLens)

Cyber Risk Management is at a critical inflection point. With rising scrutiny from global regulatory bodies – demanding proactive risk reporting and Board-level accountability and oversight – organizations across industries are rethinking their cyber risk management strategies. The market is calling for greater automation in the overall risk governance process, and the reliance on subjective and manual inputs for point-in-time assessments is no longer sufficient, given the ever-present threat of zero-day attacks that don’t wait for annual audits.

With this acquisition, Safe Security and RiskLens are bringing together the world’s most trusted cyber risk quantification model – Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR™) with the world’s most advanced AI-powered automated Cyber Risk Management platform, SAFE. This powerful combination will firmly position cyber risk management as a business enabler.

The Industry’s Need for an Automated FAIR Model

The Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR™) Model is the international gold standard for cyber risk quantification, and the FAIR community represents 50% of Fortune 500 organizations. Over the course of the last few years, FAIR practitioners have been asking for solutions that would leverage FAIR’s rigor and defensibility in modeling cyber risk and scale more efficiently.

The obvious next step in continuing the journey of transforming cyber risk management was to automate FAIR assessments. As a part of our roadmap, we will embed the FAIR Model and combine it with SAFE’s data-dense Cyber Risk Cloud of Clouds Platform to equip businesses with the industry’s first automated, AI-driven, and real-time solution to measure, manage, and mitigate cyber risk.

Integrating FAIR’s rigorous decade-long research and SAFE’s automated processing capability of over 3 billion signals daily will provide organizations with unmatched confidence in SAFE’s breach prediction and prevention recommendations. From gaining real-time and enterprise-wide visibility on a single dashboard and knowing where their greatest cyber risks are… to how an enterprise should prioritize cyber risk management and what financial impact each cyber risk (and its mitigation effort) has on the business – the SAFE platform empowers businesses to shift from reactive activities to proactive cyber risk management.

“SAFE will automate FAIR with its AI data-driven platform. This powerful fusion of SAFE’s industry-leading AI capabilities with RiskLens’ pioneering FAIR model offers enterprises a one-stop shop for all their cyber risk management needs.” – John Chambers – Chairman Emeritus, Cisco, and Founder of JC2 Ventures.
