What if the biggest risk in 2027 isn't the one you're ready for?

2026 brought AI adoption at scale, conflicts with no end in sight and a surge in strategic infrastructure investment. The headline is uncertainty, but you can’t afford to miss the whole story.

As risk management moves from defence to strategy, Control Risks’ RiskMap is built to do more than flag threats: it shows where to find advantage in the year ahead.

RiskMap 2027 launches in November. Expect risk ratings and in-depth analysis from our experts worldwide to help you mitigate risk and seize opportunity in the year ahead.

What if Africa's biggest financing challenge isn't a lack of capital, but the ability to mobilise it?

💡 That question sits at the heart of one of the key findings from Africa's Resilience Dividend, the latest edition of the Africa Risk-Reward Index 2026.

While Africa's financial system holds more than USD 4 trillion in assets and reserves, too much capital remains concentrated in low-risk assets, rather than flowing into the investments needed to support economic growth and resilience.

As global shocks continue to test markets, the ability to turn domestic savings into productive investment is becoming an increasingly important competitive advantage.

🌍 Africa imports around 80% of its oil. When the Strait of Hormuz closed, it looked acutely exposed. Yet the shock was absorbed far better than expected.

⚡ New refining capacity, led by Nigeria's Dangote Refinery, helped steady supply and prove a bigger point: resilience isn't about avoiding shocks, it's about building the capacity to absorb them.

📊 The 11th Africa Risk-Reward Index calls this the resilience dividend: the capacity to keep essential systems running when one channel closes. For investors, understanding how and where it's being built is now central to pricing risk.

🌍 Africa cannot choose the next shock. But its ability to absorb one is growing.

Over the past decade, Africa has navigated a succession of disruptions, from the pandemic and the war in Ukraine to aid retrenchment, tariff disruption and the latest conflict in the Middle East.

Despite these pressures, many African markets have proven more resilient than expected.

📈 The 11th edition of the Africa Risk-Reward Index explores how this developing ability to adapt is reshaping Africa's risk-reward landscape.

Across the continent, governments, businesses and investors are finding new ways to strengthen supply chains, expand financing options and build buffers against future shocks. But resilience is not developing evenly. While some markets are building stronger foundations, vulnerabilities remain and outcomes will continue to differ across the continent.

Are security teams being asked to operate at AI speed with resources designed for a pre-AI world?

As AI accelerates the pace and scale of cyber threats, many organisations are facing a difficult reality: increasing expectations without a corresponding investment in capabilities, skills and security transformation.

In this video, Caitlin Egen shares two critical questions every security leader should be asking:
• Is our security function designed for the threats we face today?
• Are we investing in the people, tools and operating models needed to adapt?

Honest answers can reveal where change is needed, helping leaders build security functions that are not just keeping pace with AI, but using it to become more resilient, focused and effective.

What's the secret sauce of enterprise security?

Shelley Boland, Global Head of Real Estate and Corporate Services at Standard Chartered says it’s not necessarily the crisis response. It's the time you spend on scenario analysis before anything goes wrong.

In this clip from Ground Truth by Control Risks, she describes security moving beyond "guards and cards" to a predictive, proactive and fully integrated function. And she's clear on where an outside partner earns its place: spotting the blind spots you can't see from inside your own ecosystem and bringing the intelligence that can genuinely shift a decision.

If you had to evacuate hundreds of employees tomorrow, could you actually do it?

Many organisations believed they were prepared for a major regional crisis. The US-Iran conflict revealed a different reality: preparedness on paper does not always translate into operational readiness.

In this two part series of articles, we examine lessons from the US-Iran conflict and how organisations struggled with intelligence gaps, logistical constraints and critical workforce data shortcomings once theoretical scenarios became real-world events.

Key lessons include:
• Why compliance-based preparedness often falls short
• The hidden risks in evacuation planning and workforce management
• What separates organisations that react from those that respond effectively
