FAIR analysis and the RiskLens CRQ platform answer their questions in definitive terms. For Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and their teams, this cyber risk quantification enables better decision making from the strategic to day-to-day levels and finally aligns security operations to the needs of the business.
