Members of DRI's Future Vision Committee present the major findings from the 2024 DRI Trends Report and the 2025 DRI Predictions Report. Lyndon Bird provides an overview of the reports' findings, while key issues are discussed by individual members: - Eric McNulty focuses on the the current global risk situation and how priorities might change in the near and medium term. The change in U.S. administration is likely to modify many aspects of U.S. policy (domestically and globally). The presenter will assess how this may affect resilience management issues such as climate change, ESG, and global supply chains. - Richard Knowlton discusses why once again "cyber events” have topped our list of importance in terms of threats to resilience. He will provide an overview of how he sees the main cyber threats and how well governments and companies are in dealing with them. - Steven Lei explains that natural disasters are a constant theme in our resilience surveys. He will cover the lessons learned in the LA fires, together with a wider perspective about what needs to done to better protect citizens and companies from increasing temperature extremes and other climate changes.

56.7% of senior management indicate that cyber security is their top concern in 2024, but many fail to incorporate it into their overall resilience efforts. Information security alone is not enough – you need to prepare both proactively and reactively as a broader cyber resilience strategy. Unfortunately, there are many issues holding organizations back, including confusion on roles and responsibilities, outcomes, and what the “end game” looks like. Join Jim Kastle, Chief Information Security Officer at Kimberly-Clark and Brian Zawada, General Manager, Business Continuity & Resilience at Riskonnect, as they discuss how information security contributes to cyber resilience and ultimately, at the most strategic level, business resilience.

Join DRI Australia and New Zealand's Rod Crowder, CBCP, for this webinar discussing how the Covid-19 pandemic brought about rapid change for businesses and industries across the world, who were forced to implement years of planned digital solutions in a matter of weeks or months. The unexpected need to transition large numbers of employees to a work-from-home model required a major rethink to business and IT delivery models, with risks quickly transitioning from premises and office environments to data centres, networks, software applications and data security. In this webinar, we will discuss how this transition has impacted business continuity planning and how it is evolving to keep pace with the emerging digital-era.

Organizations today are confronted by a wide range of cyberattacks, so it comes as no surprise that cyberattacks and data breaches have consistently ranked high on the list of key issues identified for the resilience community according to the DRI International Global Risk and Resilience Trends Reports, issued annually by DRI’s Future Vision Committee. This year’s report revealed that although the top issues remain the same, there appears to be an even greater focus on technological risk. Given the development of technologies and the growth of business data, this is likely to remain the case moving forward … which may provide new opportunities for hackers to cause such massive disruptions.
