Absolute Security is set to enhance its Cyber Resilience Platform by integrating Agentic AI, aiming to mitigate the severe financial repercussions associated with downtime.
This development is poised to bolster organizations’ capacities to endure and swiftly recover from cyber incidents and software breakdowns, factors contributing to over $400 billion annually in global economic losses.
Preventing Financial Losses
A survey involving 750 Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) revealed that businesses typically take 14 days to resume operations after cyberattacks, ransomware, or software failures. Such downtime can incur costs up to $2 million per hour, potentially leading to financial damages exceeding $670 million for a single two-week disruption.
Absolute Security's platform, enhanced with AI-driven capabilities, enables CISOs to drastically reduce downtime, thereby averting substantial financial damage in the face of advanced cyberattacks and complex threats.
Transforming Cybersecurity Programs
John Herrema, Chief Product Officer at Absolute Security, noted the economic toll of downtime, emphasizing the need for enterprises to transform cybersecurity programs beyond threat detection. He asserted, “Agentic Cyber Resilience will provide customers with assurance their endpoint security is optimized for maximum defense, provide the ability to keep their businesses running, and protect revenue in the face of any challenge.”
Leveraging the Integration
Secure Endpoint and SSE integration with Absolute Security ensures endpoint complianceThe integration of Secure Endpoint and Secure Access SSE solutions with Absolute Security's firmware-embedded cyber resilience platform provides CISOs with tools to ensure endpoint device compliance with security policies.
This integration supports secure access to networks, cloud applications, and sensitive data, ensuring operational continuity and facilitating swift recovery during disruptions.
Expert Opinions
Sven Gölles from Lincoln International emphasized the importance of security policies in defending against costly compliance violations and business disruptions. He stated, “I am thrilled to see that Absolute Security has integrated network, cloud, and endpoint cyber resilience on a single platform. This innovative leap will help us operate more efficiently and reduce downtime when disruptions occur.”
Herrema also commented on the challenges introduced by hybrid work settings, growing complexity, and ransomware, highlighting the platform’s role in ensuring device trust, secure connectivity, and operational continuity even amidst disruptions. “By combining firmware-embedded endpoint resilience with Secure Access policy enforcement through Comply-to-Connect, our platform is designed to ensure organizations can maintain device trust, secure connectivity, and operational continuity even when devices are compromised or disrupted,” he added.
Absolute Security, an enterprise cyber resilience pioneer, are integrating Agentic AI into the Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform in order to prevent the costly consequences of downtime.
This innovation will advance the company’s mission to help organizations withstand and rapidly recover from destructive cyber incidents and widespread software failures that are driving more than $400 billion in annual losses from the global economy.
Preventing financial losses
In a recent survey of 750 Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), respondents reported it took 14 days to restore operations after being hit with a cyberattack, ransomware, or software failure that shut down business operations. With costs reaching as high as $2 million per hour, a single two-week incident can cost an organization more than $670 million.
With the Absolute Security AI-driven platform, CISOs are stopping downtime in minutes to prevent catastrophic financial losses in the face of AI-powered cyberattacks, advanced threats, and increasing complexity. By adding Agentic AI capabilities, Absolute Security will equip security, risk, and corporate financial leaders to adapt and remain ahead of future business and security challenges.
Transforming cybersecurity programs
"Downtime is draining nearly a half-trillion dollars from the global economy every year. To avoid losses, enterprises must transform their cybersecurity programs to do more than just detect and prevent threats,” said John Herrema, Chief Product Officer, Absolute Security.
“Agentic Cyber Resilience will provide customers with assurance their endpoint security is optimized for maximum defense, provide the ability to keep their businesses running, and protect revenue in the face of any challenge.”
Leveraging the integration
This news comes amid Secure Endpoint and Secure Access SSE solutions integrate on the Absolute Security firmware-embedded cyber resilience platform.
Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) can leverage this integration to help ensure that all enrolled endpoint devices are compliant with organizational security and risk policies before accessing networks, cloud applications, and sensitive data, while maintaining operational continuity and accelerating recovery when disruptions occur.
Expert opinions
“Security policies play a critical role in helping to defend our organization against incidents that can lead to costly compliance violations and business disruptions. Endpoints that fall out of compliance present a tremendous risk,” said Sven Gölles, Lincoln International. “I am thrilled to see that Absolute Security has integrated network, cloud, and endpoint cyber resilience on a single platform. This innovative leap will help us operate more efficiently and reduce downtime when disruptions occur.”
John Herrema, Chief Product Officer, Absolute Security commented: “Hybrid work environments, growing complexity, and ransomware are putting increasing pressure on organizations to maintain operational continuity when, not if, disruptive events strike.”
“Disruption from these events instantly impacts business operations and leads to significant downtime and financial losses. By combining firmware-embedded endpoint resilience with Secure Access policy enforcement through Comply-to-Connect, our platform is designed to ensure organizations can maintain device trust, secure connectivity, and operational continuity even when devices are compromised or disrupted.”
