Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) Will Reduce Recovery from Weeks to Minutes, Helping Their Organizations to Avoid Massive Financial Losses

SEATTLE & SAN FRANCISCO: #absolutesecurity--(RSAC 2026) Absolute Security, an enterprise cyber resilience leader, today announced plans to integrate Agentic AI into the Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform. This visionary approach 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(1) in annual losses from the global economy.

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(2) 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 leaders and Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) to adapt and remain ahead of future business and security challenges.

"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.”
