The New Age of Mobility Risk: Jayashree Nair on Why Insurance Must Evolve Beyond the Vehicle

The future of motor insurance is being rewritten at the intersection of mobility, artificial intelligence, climate volatility and changing customer expectations. The traditional model of insuring a vehicle is gradually giving way to a far more sophisticated responsibility: understanding human behaviour, predicting emerging risks and creating a resilient mobility ecosystem.

The Future of Resilience Engineering: Why Recovery Matters More Than Prevention

For more than three decades, cybersecurity strategies have been built around a simple ambition: keep adversaries out.

The Convergence Risk Nobody Owns: When Cyber, Physical and Operational Risks Collide

For years, organisations have managed cyber security, physical security and operational resilience as separate disciplines. Different teams, different reporting structures, different budgets and often different priorities. That separation is becoming increasingly dangerous. As digital technologies become deeply embedded into industrial systems, supply chains and critical infrastructure, the boundaries between cyber, physical and operational risk are…

The End of Periodic Assurance: Why Continuous Controls Monitoring Is Reshaping Enterprise Risk

In stable economic cycles, that approach appeared sufficient. In today’s…

Boards Are Being Rewritten by Risk: What “Good Oversight” Looks Like in 2026

Boardrooms are being reshaped less by regulation than by risk. Across markets, directors are discovering that traditional governance frameworks, built for incremental change and stable assumptions, are increasingly misaligned with a world defined by volatility, technology shocks and geopolitical spillovers. By 2026, “good oversight” will no longer be measured by the number of committees formed…
