Security News > 2024 > April > 92% of enterprises unprepared for AI security challenges

Most industries continue to run almost two or more months behind in patching software vulnerabilities, endpoints remain vulnerable to threats, and most enterprise PCs must be replaced to support AI-based technologies, according to the Absolute Security Cyber Resilience Risk Index 2024.

All factors create numerous compliance and security challenges.

Organizations that want to take advantage of AI will need to replace entire device fleets, requiring them to ensure mass deployments can remain secure against threats and compliant with internal and external security policies.

Essential security tools are failing: When not supported by remediation capabilities, Endpoint Protection Platforms and network access security applications on managed PCs fail to operate effectively 24% of the time.

On almost 14 percent of these devices, unsupported EPPs are not even present, opening high-risk security gaps.

Organizations are falling weeks, even months, behind in critical patching: Although the number of days to patch software vulnerabilities continues to drop, most industries continue to run weeks or months behind in complying with their patching policies.
