The risk landscape over the next five years: key trends
Security and risk management professionals understand that they must plan into the future to successfully manage business continuity and resiliency for a future-proof enterprise. According to the GRC Vision 2021 to 2026: Governance, Risk and Compliance playbook report from Forrester, many key trends will amplify strategic and digital risks and transform the core responsibilities of risk management for the enterprise. Understanding the trends and long-term implications of such trends, can help security leaders and risk managers better prepare for the potential impacts that may ensue.
One change that the Forrester report expects to see take flight is the change from oversight done by customers and employees turning back to government and industry regulators. “Customers and employees will continue to wield power as they use social media platforms to air their grievances or tout successes. However, the trend where government and industry regulators seemed to cede their role to customers and employees will turn,” according to the report.
