Everbridge, Inc., has published its 2026 regional threat assessment: Geographic trends shaping the global security landscape, an analysis of the most significant threats expected to impact organizations worldwide in the year ahead. The report provides a region-by-region view of the evolving threat environment.
The assessment examines how risks that were once viewed as separate – including geopolitical instability, violent extremism, cyber threats, climate stress, and economic volatility – are increasingly intersecting to create complex disruption with limited warning. Drawing on analysis from Everbridge regional risk intelligence experts, the report is designed to help organizations better anticipate where threats are intensifying and how those risks may cascade across people, operations, supply chains, and critical infrastructure in 2026.
The report concludes that the threat assessment ‘underscores a central insight: resilience in 2026 is not about predicting every threat, but about building the capacity to anticipate patterns, absorb shocks, and adapt quickly. Organizations that treat intelligence as a strategic asset, integrate risk across traditional silos, and plan for disruption as a recurring condition will be better positioned to protect their people, operations, and reputations’.
Organizations are entering 2026 in an environment where disruption is persistent, connected, and often arrives with little warning. What makes today’s risk landscape especially challenging is not just the number of threats, but how quickly they converge and compound.
