Every year, Forrester fields hundreds of requests for guidance on security and risk (S&R) topics from Forrester Decisions clients, who are C-level executives from companies across the globe. We analyzed more than 250 requests that we received in the second half of 2025 from clients in Asia Pacific (APAC) and EMEA; this executive spotlight identifies the top priorities for those clients. It’s no surprise that questions related to AI risk and security dominated. S&R leaders can use this report to understand the business value that they can realize by tackling each of these priorities and how best to do so.
