RMIA CEO, Simon Levy, has been diving into some thought-provoking pieces lately. Here an article that he believes the risk community should have on their radar:

The latest CBP Quarterly Roundup highlights just how quickly digital governance, privacy, and cyber risks are evolving. From AI governance and cross-border data regulation to heightened director accountability, the message is clear: risk drives everything in today’s business landscape.
