The Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025 highlights key trends shaping economies and societies in 2025, along with insights into emerging threats and solutions.
The Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026, written in collaboration with Accenture, examines the cybersecurity trends that will affect economies and societies in the year to come. It explores how accelerating AI adoption, geopolitical fragmentation and widening cyber inequity are reshaping the global risk landscape. As attacks grow faster, more complex and more unevenly distributed, organizations ...
Global supply chains face rising geopolitical fragmentation and economic divergence, driving four plausible outlooks, from multilateral cooperation to full degradation.
In a time of fragmentation, ASEAN stands out as a rare economic bright spot because it's leveraging global uncertainty into a strategic advantage.
Global health gains are at risk. New funding models, regional systems and delivery innovation are vital to build resilient, equitable healthcare worldwide.
Geoeconomic confrontation, interstate conflict and extreme weather emerge as top risks for the year, says World Economic Forum Global Risks Report 2026.
