Absolute Security: Enterprise PCs Are Left Unprotected 76 Days a Year as Endpoint Tools Fail 21% of the Time

Absolute Security's 2026 Resilience Risk Index warns that endpoint protection fails roughly 21% of the time and that critical OS patching for Windows 10/11 is averaging a 127-day lag, contributing to significant exposure; protected-state integrity fell to 55%, and increased browsing of high‑risk generative AI sites compounds governance gaps. The report is based on anonymized telemetry across millions of endpoints and frames these failures as industry-wide resilience and downtime risks rather than describing a specific attack or compromise.
