According to a recent article in CIO: Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) is a relatively new model that helps organizations quantify risk. The focus is on cyber security and operational risk, with the goal of making more well-informed decisions. Although it's newer than other frameworks mentioned here, it's already gained a lot of traction with Fortune 500 companies. {What is IT Governance?
