AI is Giving State-linked Hackers a New Edge
Picture a scenario where a single line of AI-generated code can bring a national utility to a halt or enable the theft of a leading tech firm’s intellectual property. This is no longer the realm of speculative fiction. Artificial intelligence is transforming the international security landscape, giving state and non-state actors greater power to disrupt economies, influence societies and challenge the rules and norms that have traditionally underpinned global stability. The central trend is stark.
Maintaining the UK's Intelligence Edge in the Grey Zone
The UK’s intelligence community must adapt to stay ahead of intensifying hybrid threats that blur the line between war and peace. The most immediate threat to UK national security in 2026 is unlikely to take the form of a conventional military attack by Russia against the British homeland or a European NATO ally.
What the Decline of Global Norms Means for Business
The US and Israeli airstrikes on Iran are the latest sign of a growing erosion of the liberal rules-based global order. Norms that once loosely governed international behaviour – sovereignty, multilateralism and the rule of law – are in some areas no longer even superficially respected. The trend, contributing to heightened geopolitical volatility, has significant implications for the way global businesses assess and mitigate risks.
Unnatural Disasters: The Next Front in Russia’s Hybrid War
Once confined to science fiction, solar geoengineering is now moving into real-world experimentation, raising the risk of misuse by hostile actors. Also known as solar radiation management, this set of novel technologies – such as stratospheric aerosol injection and marine cloud brightening – aims to artificially slow the rise in global temperatures by reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed by the Earth’s surface.
Why They Belong on Your Risk Radar
By Matt Ince These are challenging days for corporate risk teams. President Trump’s wide-ranging executive orders are creating jeopardy for multinationals all over the world. Possible tariff wars with Europe and China would probably require urgent supply chain mitigations. The suspension of USAID may destabilise certain emerging and frontier markets, necessitating crisis management contingencies.
Keeping the UK Secure in a Climate-Changed World
Matt Ince and Laurie Laybourn 10 Minute Read The new UK government faces a world being made more volatile by climate change. In response, the forthcoming Strategic Defence Review must place climate considerations at the heart of national security decision-making. The UK’s new government has been quick to signal its commitment to improving the country’s security.
As Geopolitical Threats Mount, Companies are at Risk of ‘Analysis Paralysis’
By Matt Ince Growing numbers of multi-nationals are drawing on geopolitical analysis to better navigate an increasingly volatile and unpredictable global security landscape. Yet there is a risk of being overwhelmed by analysis that may or may not be directly relevant to their business operations and strategies – potentially leading to ‘analysis paralysis’. Big picture overviews and background information are important to get a general sense of trends and developments globally.
Delivering Climate Security Requires an Intelligence-Led Response
The COP28 UN climate change conference in Dubai may have missed an opportunity to prevent the world’s average temperature from rising 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels. But it should be remembered as the summit that placed climate security — a policy area concerned with overcoming the risks to peace and stability posed by the climate crisis — firmly on the international policy agenda.
The Uncomfortable Geopolitics of the Clean Energy Transition
Published by The Lawfare Institute in Cooperation With Every time UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres speaks about the climate crisis, he ups the ante with his admonishments—and rightly so. In September, when he said “humanity had opened the gates of hell,” it was at the end of a summer of unprecedented flooding, including in Libya, China, and the United States, and record-breaking fires in Canada and across European Union nations.
Climate-Induced Terrorism — the New Global Business Risk - The World Financial Review
By Matt Ince While countries around the world struggle to meet the manifold challenges posed by climate change, there are those who would use the issue in furtherance of their own, very particular ends. Businesses are increasingly looking to mitigate the day-to-day impacts of global warming, as floods, heatwaves, and wildfires threaten their operations.
How AI Is Reshaping the World of Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides the foundation for major innovations across the intelligence cycle. This trend will probably continue over the coming years, creating additional analytic bandwidth and reshaping how intelligence products are crafted and communicated to their intended audiences. However, despite its potential to drive transformational change within intelligence ecosystems, AI is not a viable substitute for the human in the loop.
