Enterprise Cybersecurity Software Fails 20% of the Time, Warns Absolute Security

Absolute Security's 2026 Resilience Risk Index reports that endpoint cybersecurity tools fail to protect about one in five enterprise devices—equating to roughly 76 days per year of exposure—driven by delays in patching, average Windows critical-update delays of 127 days, 24% of vulnerability management platforms out of compliance, and nearly 10% of endpoints permanently unpatched, creating significant operational and breach risk across large enterprise fleets.
