New country rankings from Global Citizen Solutions suggest resilience is being shaped more by readiness than by size alone, as geopolitical fragmentation, supply chain realignment, energy security, digital capability and climate risk pull nations further apart.
Factories are shutting down, supply chains are fracturing and regulators are tightening the tap. For risk managers across Asia Pacific, water scarcity has moved from the sustainability report to the risk register.
In major infrastructure projects, the real test of risk management is not identifying threats but managing how they intersect. In this port expansion, resilience depended on building a framework that could respond as those connections shifted over time.
When Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica as a Category 5 storm, satellite-based synthetic aperture radar provided near real-time, countrywide damage intelligence through cloud cover, enabling government and humanitarian teams to prioritise resources, accelerate decision-making and reach the hardest-hit communities faster.
A routine cash-handling function turned into a multimillion-dollar loss when a misconfigured ATM enabled six weeks of fraudulent withdrawals. The case exposes deeper weaknesses in governance, data flows and assurance that allowed the incident to escalate unchecked.
In this latest StrategicRISK SR:500 roundtable, senior risk leaders explored a question that is becoming increasingly urgent: what does “emerging risk” actually mean in a world where volatility feels constant and systemic?
Cyber risk tops Aon’s global rankings, yet in Korea it sits far lower on the agenda. StrategicRISK spoke to Aon Korea chief executive Kevin Kim to explore why one of the world’s most digitally advanced economies still appears to underestimate the threat.
As conflict in West Asia sends disruption through cyber systems, supply chains, energy markets and shared infrastructure, Dr Luke Carrivick, executive director at ORX, argues that operational risk leaders must respond to a faster, broader and less geographically contained threat than the Russia-Ukraine war.
The compounding shocks created by climate change were the topic of our latest SR:500 roundtable. Organisations are being forced to reassess their long-held assumptions about resilience, continuity and operational risk as they navigate the road ahead.
Previously a back-office function, resilience in the digital space is now in the spotlight. At an SR:500 roundtable in asssociation with Marsh, risk leaders explored how AI, regulation and culture are highlighting new strategies and demanding board-level attention.
As regulatory frameworks such as NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act begin to overlap, organisations face mounting pressure to rethink how governance, risk and compliance operates in practice. Riskonnect’s Sherry Dillon explains why traditional compliance approaches are no longer enough.
Enterprise risk management often promises insight but delivers assurance. As boards push for clearer, risk-informed choices, risk leaders need to move beyond compliance-driven GRC workflows and towards decision-focused measurement that links risk to objectives, an approach Face the Risk is helping organisations put into practice.
