Executive Spotlight: Top Priorities For APAC And EMEA Security And Risk Leaders, H1 2025

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. To fine-tune our research agenda and activities, we analyzed more than 300 requests that we received in the first 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 on AI dominated, followed closely by governance and human-centered security topics. 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.
