CES Intelligence Sector Books: Geopolitical Risk by Industry
October 13, 2026
Risk no longer respects sector boundaries — but its consequences always land somewhere specific. The same war that closes a strait strands a shipping line, reprices a refinery, and empties a defense supply chain. Starting this month, every industry gets its own translation.
The CES Intelligence Sector Books translate the firm's flagship geopolitical synthesis — The CES Intelligence Book — into the operating realities of six industries: Banking & Capital Markets, Energy & Infrastructure, Defense & Aerospace, Global Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals & Tech, and Public Sector. Each edition translates the firm's analysis into one industry's threat landscape, drawing on continuous monitoring of 200+ strategic risk topics across 180 countries.
Geopolitical risk by industry — inside the inaugural edition
— The five non-negotiables — the exposures a Defense & Aerospace executive cannot trade away: gray zone sabotage moving inside the wire, the personalization of activist targeting, insider risk as the sector's persistent asymmetry, the supply chain as primary battlespace, and the quiet terrorism signal that fails loudly when ignored
— The threat picture for 2027 — where the sector's exposure concentrates, and which quiet signals are already being watched
— Ten ranked, time-bound priorities for 2027 — the immediate actions, ordered by exposure and execution horizon
— The execution agenda — what to have in place before the first quarter closes, from supplier verification to executive exposure
Assessment horizon: calendar year 2027
