Global Risk Outlook 2025 | Assessing the Global Security Landscape in 2025

In 2025, organizations must navigate an increasingly complex and volatile global security environment. The rapid pace of change in the scale and intensity of security challenges today brings multifaceted risks for personnel, assets and operational security. Maintaining resilience in 2025 will require: reliable, timely and relevant information; robust security planning for people or assets most at risk; proactive crisis management practices; and advanced technology for effective assessment of exposure and communication.

In this report, we assess the global security landscape for the next twelve months and highlight the most acute security challenges we expect to define the year ahead. Other risks are covered more fully in dedicated Insight Reports linked throughout this report. The risk outlook for 2025 was developed by International SOS global security analysts, aviation and maritime security teams in Beijing, Bangkok, Delhi, Dubai, Madrid, Manila, Mexico City, London, Paris, Philadelphia, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo.
