John Herrema, Chief Product Officer, At Absolute Security On Endpoint Resilience, AI & Security KPIs

40% of ransomware attacks happen due to known vulnerabilities.

The problem isn’t that enterprises don’t have the tools—it’s that they’re not running, patched, or monitored.

In this episode of Discover Dialogues, Vikramsinh Ghatge is joined by John Herrema, CPO at Absolute Security, to talk about why endpoint security fails silently and what leaders must do to measure and improve their cyber defense posture.

From patching gaps to endpoint drift and EPP tools that aren’t running, this conversation cuts through the noise to give CISOs, IT heads, and security pros a practical framework to evaluate risk and reduce exposure—fast.
 

Episode Highlights:

 

• The KPI trinity: patch age, tool deployment status, recovery time 

• Why “set and forget” tools are your biggest blind spot 

• How AI-driven systems reduce downtime and restore productivity 

• Why insider threats are growing—and how behavior modeling helps 

• What today’s Gen Z talent expects from your tech stack 

Whether you're a CISO, IT lead, or security strategist, this is your playbook for leveraging AI to detect drift, correct vulnerabilities, and rethink endpoint protection from the ground up.
