Extreme Resilience Isn’t Optional—It’s Operational

See what’s failing and how to fix it.

Resilience Risk Index 2025

Based on telemetry from over 6 million enterprise PCs, the 2025 Resilience Index shows that most organizations aren’t failing because of missing tools—they’re failing when the tools they have stop working. Endpoint controls silently fail. Patch delays stretch into weeks. Shadow AI is spreading without oversight. Extreme Resilience means designing for failure—and recovering fast. This report shows where your controls break down, and how leaders are rethinking resilience across security, IT, and the business.

Key Highlights:

  • 22% of SSE and endpoint controls fail to operate as intended
  • Patch delays average 56 days across Windows 10 and 11
  • 35% of devices remain unencrypted; 18% store sensitive data
  • Shadow AI activity is surging, with millions of site visits recorded
  • 92% of PCs may be underpowered for AI endpoint demands
  • Untracked devices and misaligned controls increase enterprise risk
  • Absolute’s embedded platform reduces control failure to just 7%

Security software will always be fallible. The question is: what happens when it fails? The 2025 Resilience Index equips security, IT, and risk leaders with the real-world data they need to move from reactive patching to proactive resilience—designed into the endpoint, not added after.
