Jack Freund, the guest of my latest podcast, is the co-author of a book with Jack Jones on quantifying risk (Measuring and Managing Information Risk: A FAIR Approach). This book was inducted into the Cybersecurity Canon in 2016. The Cyber Security Canon is a Hall of Fame for IT Security books. The founder Rick Howard has been a previous guest on this podcast.

Some of the links that I really like from this episode are Jack’s presentation called “Assessing Quality in Cyber Risk Forecasting”, his most recent article in the ISSA Journal that I love called “Using Data Breach Reports to Assess Risk Analysis Quality”. You will be able to find all links and show notes at redzonetech.net/podcast
