The State of Endpoint Resilience

Research Report
Prevention alone isn't preventing downtime. Drawing on a survey of 1,000 CISOs across the US and UK, this research shows why endpoint controls keep working as designed and still fail at the moment of truth, and why recovery has become the capability.

The State of Endpoint Resilience

In a survey of 1,000 CISOs across the United States and the United Kingdom, 75% said their organization experienced operational downtime after a cyberattack, ransomware, or other incident reached their endpoints, and 93% reported that multiple endpoint controls failed once the attack landed, with EDR and DLP failing most often. The controls fired. The downtime happened anyway. 

That gap is the story this research tells. The capability leaders believe in most is the one still waiting to be adopted at scale: recovery. 

This report maps where enterprises stand, which controls fail and how often, where security budgets are moving, why no single breach vector dominates anymore, and why the CISO mandate is expanding from prevention into business continuity and recovery.

Key findings:

  • Protection is working as designed and still failing at the moment of truth. 93% of CISOs saw multiple endpoint controls fail.
  • 88% of leaders agree autonomous recovery cuts the cost of an incident, yet only 32% have deployed self-healing endpoint agents.
  • Recovery and resilience now command nearly half of the security budget.
  • 71% of CISOs admit sensitive corporate data has already leaked through an unsanctioned AI tool in the past year.

Manual recovery is what turns a contained incident into a multi-day, business-wide event.
