G7 Risk Index: Cyber Threats and Disinformation Take Center Stage (infosecurity-magazine.com)

• Cyber-attacks ranked as the top priority risk for G7 nations.
• Disinformation identified as the third most significant threat to G7 stability.
• Perception gap: BICS countries rank cyber threats only at eighth place.

"The 2026 Munich Security Conference highlights a profound geopolitical rift in risk perception. G7 nations now identify cyber-attacks as their primary security threat, with disinformation ranking third. In contrast, BICS nations (Brazil, India, China, South Africa) place cyber threats much lower at eighth. This divergence emphasizes the urgency for the EU to strengthen its digital defense and information integrity frameworks against asymmetric threats."
