A new report by Ernst & Young (EY) lays out three strategic actions Chief Risk Officers (CROs) in the insurance industry should take in 2026 to navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape. As digital transformation accelerates, insurers face heightened risks from artificial intelligence, cyber threats, geopolitical volatility, and climate change.
The EY insights urge CROs to elevate risk strategy integration into enterprise decision-making, ensuring risk considerations are embedded in strategic planning and business model innovation. Enhancing data and analytics capabilities is another priority, enabling insurers to improve risk sensing, scenario analysis, and predictive modeling to anticipate emerging exposures more effectively.
The third key action centers on strengthening organizational resilience, including robust governance frameworks, agile risk processes, and proactive stress testing against evolving threats. EY notes that CROs who successfully align risk, technology, and strategic objectives will help their organizations build sustainable growth and competitive advantage in 2026 and beyond.
