The Munich Security Index (MSI) 2026 report highlights that G7 nations have identified cyber threats as their most significant risk for the second consecutive year. Cyber-attacks were ranked as the top concern in 2025, followed by economic or financial crises and disinformation campaigns. This trend contrasts with the BICS nations, where cyber threats have fallen to eighth place, with climate change now seen as the most urgent risk. In the UK, US, and India, concerns over various threats have grown, particularly in the US, where economic and political instability is a major concern. The report is based on surveys conducted in November 2025, with a margin of error of 3.1 percent.
