The gap between future quantum risk and today’s cybersecurity planning has narrowed considerably over the past year. Policy-makers worldwide have already begun to move on quantum-safe cybersecurity and the private sector will follow. Organisations should not wait for legislation and instead look to integrating quantum readiness into cybersecurity now.

AI is creating new categories of cyber threat but it’s also acting as a force multiplier for risks that organisations already have, while creating operational and legal exposures that may have nothing to do with hackers at all. The easiest way to think about the problem is: how is AI being used against you, by you and around you?

The 2026 Airmic Risk Technology Survey is built on the responses of risk and insurance professionals drawn from across Airmic’s membership. It is a practitioner-led view of how the profession is navigating a technology landscape that is becoming more powerful, more complex, and with the arrival of AI more uncertain than at any point in recent memory.

Featuring Ross Ellner, Director RMIS AI – International, Archer, as speaker: In an era marked by unprecedented challenges in the risk landscape, the imperative for effective risk management information system (RMIS) solutions has never been more critical. Organisations today face a complex array of risks, compounded by data silos and integration hurdles that traditional RMIS platforms are ill-equipped to address. These challenges underscore the necessity for RMIS solutions that not only integrate seamlessly across diverse functions but also enable a more proactive approach to risk management.
