Key Findings from the Second Annual IIF-EY Global Insurance Risk Management Survey

In this episode of the Global Regulatory Update podcast, we host Stu Doyle, U.S. Insurance Risk & Regulation Leader at EY, to discuss findings from the second annual IIF/EY Global Insurance Risk Management Survey.

Drawing from insights from over 80 institutions across the insurance sector, the 2025 survey reveals that cybersecurity and geopolitical risks continue to intensify while organizations increasingly prioritize third-party risk management, AI governance, and regulatory compliance.

Our conversation explores this year's key findings and how they've evolved since the inaugural 2024 survey. We examine the expanding role of Chief Risk Officers (CROs) as they drive organizational transformation and embed risk culture throughout their institutions. Stu also contrasts the insurance survey results with findings from the Global Bank Risk Management Survey, highlighting sector-specific risk priorities.

The discussion covers how CROs are navigating emerging technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence, balancing innovation with risk management while preparing their organizations for unforeseen challenges ahead.
