Lares Risk Management International at ASIS Europe 2026
This week, Lares Risk Management International was represented at ASIS Europe 2026 by Ben Suurd, who connected with security and risk leaders from across the region. The event provided a valuable setting to exchange perspectives on how organizations are responding to an increasingly complex and fast-moving risk landscape.
ASIS Europe continues to serve as an important platform for professionals involved in risk management and security. The 2026 edition focused on the transition from risk awareness to resilience, reflecting a broader shift in how organizations approach uncertainty. Rather than relying on reactive measures, there is a growing emphasis on structured strategies that support long-term stability and adaptability.
Throughout the event, discussions frequently returned to the topic of emerging threats. Organizations are now facing a combination of geopolitical tensions, cyber risks, and operational disruptions that are often interconnected. This requires a more integrated approach to risk management, where visibility across functions and effective communication between teams become essential. Insights shared during the sessions highlighted the need to move beyond siloed approaches and adopt more coordinated frameworks.
Operational resilience was another central theme. Conversations explored how businesses can strengthen their ability to respond to disruptions while maintaining continuity. This includes improving incident response planning, refining crisis management processes, and ensuring that decision-makers have access to timely and accurate information. The role of technology in supporting these efforts was also widely recognized, particularly in enabling faster response times and better situational awareness.
For both Lares Risk Management International and Ben Suurd, the event offered an opportunity to engage directly with peers facing similar challenges across different industries and regions. These interactions provided practical insights into how organizations are adapting their risk management strategies and building resilience in real-world conditions.
The conversations also reinforced the importance of collaboration within the security and risk community. Sharing knowledge and experiences helps organizations refine their approaches and stay aligned with evolving best practices. It supports a more proactive mindset, which is essential as risks continue to grow in scale and complexity.
ASIS Europe 2026 highlighted that resilience is not a fixed outcome but an ongoing process. Organizations must continuously assess their risk environment, adapt to new challenges, and invest in capabilities that support sustainable operations. The insights gained from the event will continue to inform how Lares Risk Management International and Ben Suurd approach risk management moving forward.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to connect during the event. The conversations will continue beyond ASIS Europe, contributing to stronger and more effective approaches to risk and resilience.
