AI-powered cybersecurity threats will be companies’ foremost concern.
The year 2025 promises to be a pivotal one with plenty of new risks and challenges for organizations worldwide to navigate over the next 12 months. For starters, we’ve just exited the ultimate election year. Voters in at least 64 countries went to the polls in 2024. The outcomes of these elections will likely lead to changes in policies and regulations across the world that could increase companies’ risk exposure. Geopolitical tensions are expected to remain high in 2025, which could threaten supply chains and create market volatility. At the same time, growing AI adoption and technology advancements are enabling organizations to be more efficient and drive new value, but they also carry significant risks.
As we enter a new year, there are several risk factors and trends that risk management and business leaders should keep top of mind. Strengthening your risk management strategies in these areas now will help you skillfully handle risk events that come your way in 2025 – and set you up for success for years to come.
