The big picture
The $400 billion annual loss figure underscores the escalating financial impact of cyber incidents and software failures, driving demand for more proactive and automated resilience solutions. Absolute Security's move to Agentic AI represents a shift from reactive threat detection to a more preventative and automated approach, reflecting a broader trend towards AI-powered security. The company's partnership with device manufacturers and its embedded presence in millions of devices provides a unique distribution advantage, but also creates dependencies on those partners.
What we're watching
