CSO Insights: 2025 corporate security data and trends for 2026

November 13, 2025

Rachel Briggs was joined by Manish Mehta (Ontic), Meredith Wilson (Emergent Risk International), and Jules Parke-Robinson (Philip Morris International) to discuss data from the 2025 Annual CSO Survey and trends to watch for 2026.

Watch their discussion, as they cover:

  • Security risk rankings, and why some risks are not rated higher, including threats to executives, workplace violence, supply chain security and third party risk
  • Geopolitical risks to watch in 2026
  • How intel teams can serve both the corporate security team and also add valuable insights to the C-Suite
  • Why silos still challenge corporate security effectiveness, despite progress in collaboration among corporate security professionals
  • The challenges of effective communication with the C-Suite on specific risks, including threats to executives, as well as more broadly to build influence
