On-demand webinar with Everbridge and Disaster Recovery Journal explores 2026 geographic threat trends

Everbridge, Inc., the global leader in High Velocity Critical Event Management (CEM) and national public warning solutions, today announced the release of its 2026 Regional threat assessment: Geographic trends shaping the global security landscape, a forward-looking analysis of the most significant threats expected to impact organizations worldwide in the year ahead.

“Organizations are entering 2026 in an environment where disruption is persistent, connected, and often arrives with little warning,” said Sheila Carpenter, Chief Information Officer at Everbridge. “What makes today’s risk landscape especially challenging is not just the number of threats, but how quickly they converge and compound.”

The assessment examines how risks that were once viewed as separate – including geopolitical instability, violent extremism, cyber threats, climate stress, and economic volatility – are increasingly intersecting to create complex disruption with limited warning. Drawing on analysis from Everbridge regional risk intelligence experts, the report is designed to help organizations better anticipate where threats are intensifying and how those risks may cascade across people, operations, supply chains, and critical infrastructure in 2026.

To complement the global assessment, Everbridge also released six regional companion reports – North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and North Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Sub-Saharan Africa – each providing deeper, localized analysis of the threat dynamics most likely to affect organizations operating in specific parts of the world.

Together, the global and regional reports offer a comparative, region-by-region view of the evolving threat environment, enabling organizations to align preparedness, security, and resilience planning with both global trends and local operating conditions.

Carpenter continued: “Geopolitical tension can drive cyber activity, climate stress can strain infrastructure, and social or political volatility can escalate into physical or digital disruption. This assessment is intended to help leaders step back from individual headlines, understand the broader patterns shaping risk, and make more informed decisions about how to protect their people, operations, and critical dependencies.”

Everbridge is also making available an on-demand recording of its recently aired webinar, “2026 Regional threat assessment: Geographic trends shaping the global security landscape,” presented in partnership with Disaster Recovery Journal. The session features Everbridge risk intelligence experts examining key regional trends, emerging threat scenarios, and the practical implications for security, resilience, and business continuity leaders planning for the year ahead.
