Aon has identified damage to reputation or brand ranks as eighth globally in 2025 — but is expected to fall to nineteenth by 2028. In an era of cyber threats, ESG scrutiny and social media amplification, organizations should quantify reputational risk and embed preventive measures into enterprise strategy. Geopolitical tensions, polarized public sentiment, evolving regulatory expectations and the continued rise of cyber crime — amplified by artificial intelligence (AI) — have all combined to create a volatile environment in which reputational damage can occur swiftly and have a lasting impact. It’s no wonder that this year’s survey respondents ranked reputation risk as the eighth-largest risk they currently face.

"The future belongs to those who embrace risk as a lever for growth and success." That line from Aon’s 2025 Global Risk Management Survey stood out to me because it redefines everything. Risk is no longer just a back-office function; it’s now a boardroom intelligence that influences strategy and direction. Cyber, climate, and AI-related threats are converging faster than our frameworks can keep up. Yet only a small number of organizations are quantifying exposure or using data analytics. The data is clear: only 14% of firms quantify their top risks, and 19% leverage analytics to evaluate value. The value-based risk management approach, articulated by Sim Segal, addresses this and the opposite handling of risk, where financial risk, which accounts for less than 35% of risk exposures, is given more attention than strategic and operational risks, which make up the greater 65%. The opportunity is right here: to turn uncertainty into insights and actionable recommendations. To use AI not just for efficiency, but for anticipation, added value, and creation. #RiskTransformation #AIinFinance #ERM #RiskLeadership

The 2025 edition of Aon’s Global Risk Management Survey is here and the message is clear: Risk is no longer a siloed challenge, but a strategic lever for growth. With insights from nearly 3,000 leaders across 63 countries, the survey reveals: Cyber risk remains the #1 concern — for the third time in a row. Geopolitical volatility has surged into the top 10 for the first time. AI, climate change, and workforce disruption are reshaping the risk landscape.

🔎 How have the top 10 risks facing organizations changed over the past 19 years? For over a decade, economic slowdown and damage to reputation topped the list. But since 2021, cyber risk has taken the lead — and it’s not letting go. Our 2025 Global Risk Management Survey shows just how fast the landscape is shifting: • Geopolitical volatility entered the Top Ten for the first time • Workforce risks dropped out, even as talent shortages and healthcare costs remain high • Supply chain and regulatory risks are still front of mind These risks aren’t new, but the pace, scale and complexity are. Staying ahead means being ready for change, not just reacting to it.

Reflecting on nearly two decades of risk trends, it’s striking to see how the challenges facing organizations have evolved. Economic slowdown and reputation damage used to dominate the conversation, but the rapid rise of cyber risk since 2021 is a clear sign of how interconnected and digital our world has become. What stands out to me in the latest findings is not just which risks are rising or falling, but how quickly the landscape can shift. The fact that geopolitical volatility is now among the top concerns, while workforce risks have dropped out despite ongoing talent shortages, shows that organizations must remain agile and forward-thinking. Resilience today means anticipating change rather than simply reacting. It’s about building flexible strategies that can adapt to new threats, whether they’re digital, geopolitical, or operational.

Is your organization ready to proactively deal with converging risks—such as technology disruption, trade volatility, severe weather, and workforce changes? Are you able to quantify exposures through use of analytics, and scenario planning and turn risk into competitive advantage and growth?

Quality infographic showing how the top 10 risks facing organisations. For over a decade, economic slowdown and damage to reputation topped the list. But since 2021, to no surprise cyber risk has taken the lead.

Aon’s 2025 Global Risk Management Survey shows just how fast the risk landscape is shifting. Cyber risk remains the number one global concern, and the bigger picture reveals a risk landscape that is dynamic, interconnected and harder to predict. Feel free to reach out if you would like to talk more about risk insight and treatment.

For nearly two decades, economic slowdown and reputational damage ruled the risk charts. But since 2021, cyber threats have taken the crown — and they’re not backing down. Our 2025 Global Risk Management Survey reveals a fast-shifting landscape: - Geopolitical volatility enters the Top Ten - Workforce risks drop off, despite talent and healthcare pressures - Supply chain and regulatory risks remain front and center Winning means anticipating change, not chasing it

Always fascinating to see these lists and how they change over time. It’s recognising the linkages that’s often key and understanding the complexities of causes, risks and impacts - ‘cyber’ as a cause of a business disruption (which can be at the firm or at a critical third/ nth party) can threaten resilience outcomes.
