In this session at EDGE 2026 in Sydney, Krissy Barrett outlines the evolving global security landscape and the structural shifts redefining how risk must be managed.

She closes with a leadership challenge: trust cannot be assumed, ethical thinking must scale with influence, and security today depends not only on institutions, but on the decisions of those in the room.
