Global Cyber Risk Atlas 2027 by Kai London
Risk registers fail less from missing controls than from missing structure: exposure recorded inconsistently, dependencies invisible, and no common language between technology, risk and the board. The Global Cyber Risk Atlas 2027 provides that structure — a systematic way to lay out where an organisation is exposed and how those exposures relate.
What the book covers
A common exposure taxonomy
Consistent categories for technology, supplier, data, regulatory, operational and geographic exposure.
Sector profiles
How risk composition differs across finance, energy, manufacturing, healthcare, transport, telecommunications and the public sector.
Regulatory mapping
Where NIS2, DORA, the Cyber Resilience Act, the EU AI Act and sectoral regimes attach to which exposures.
Dependency and concentration
Cloud, managed services, software and hardware concentration, mapped rather than merely noted.
Scenario library
Reusable scenario templates for assessment, quantification and exercising.
Board reporting
Turning the atlas into a small number of stable indicators an executive committee can track over time.
The atlas is a structured analytical framework. It does not attribute activity to named states or actors, forecast events, or present speculation as intelligence.
Who it is for
Chief risk officers and risk teams, CISOs, internal audit, boards and audit committees, and consultants building cyber risk assessments that have to survive scrutiny.
