EzProtect Launches Argus: Closing the 241-Day Accountability Gap Between Detection and Resolution in Salesforce

Autonomous incident response platform debuts at Infosecurity Europe, enforcing accountability and auditability to make Salesforce the safest place for enterprise data

AUSTIN, TX and LONDON, UK — 241 days. That is how long the average data breach still takes to resolve, according to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, despite global security spending reaching $213 billion in 2025 (Gartner). Detection tools have never been more capable, yet the time between finding a threat and proving it has been fully resolved has barely moved in over a decade. The Verizon 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report found that median time to remediate critical vulnerabilities increased to 43 days, with only 26% of known exploited vulnerabilities fully patched. The industry does not have a detection problem. It has an accountability problem.

Today, EzProtect, a leading Salesforce threat detection solution, announced the general availability of Argus by EzProtect, the first autonomous incident response platform purpose-built for Salesforce environments. Argus closes the post-detection accountability gap by picking up where threat detection ends and driving every incident through the full NIST SP 800-61 response lifecycle with named human ownership at every step. Argus reviews evidence against milestone instructions and surfaces gaps and suggestions before a human reviewer sees it, but every judgment call and every sign-off belongs to a named human. An immutable audit trail builds itself while the team does the work. The company is debuting Argus at Infosecurity Europe 2026 (ExCeL London, Stand C108, June 2–4) before taking it on a European security tour through London’s Calling (June 5), Finnish Dreamin (Helsinki, June 10), and Architect Dreamin (Helsinki, June 11–12).

The launch arrives at a moment when proving incident response is no longer optional. France issued its first NIS2 enforcement penalty in Q1 2026, an €850,000 fine for inadequate incident reporting, and GDPR enforcement fines reached €2.1 billion in 2025. Under NIS2 and DORA, individual managers now face personal liability for inadequate response. IBM’s 2025 data shows that organizations resolving breaches in under 200 days spend $1.88 million less on average, with the global average breach cost at $4.44 million, climbing to $10.22 million for US organizations. Speed of response, and the ability to prove it, is now both a regulatory requirement and a direct cost driver.

Argus changes what happens after the scanner fires. Every incident gets a named human owner. Every phase of the response is gated, meaning the incident cannot advance until every milestone is completed with evidence and signed off by a separate reviewer. The person who collects the evidence can never approve it. Argus’s AI reviews the evidence against milestone instructions and surfaces gaps and suggestions, but the Author decides whether to update the evidence or record a justification, and the final sign-off always belongs to a named human Approver. When someone misses a deadline, the system escalates and routes around the bottleneck rather than waiting. When the auditor arrives, the record is already there: an immutable, timestamped trail that maps directly to SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, NIS2, and DORA requirements. One early access CISO described the shift: “Argus builds that record in real time. Every action, every reviewer, every timestamp, locked and ready to export. That is an entirely different audit conversation.”

“Every organization I talk to has capable people and a written incident response policy. Almost none of them can prove they followed it on a specific incident, on a specific date, with evidence an auditor would accept. That is the accountability gap. We built Argus to close it.”

Matt Meyers, Salesforce Certified Technical Architect, CEO and Founder of EzProtect, and author of Securing Salesforce Digital Experiences. 

At Infosecurity Europe, Meyers will present “Mind the Gap: How Security and IT Leaders Can Close the Post-Detection Accountability Problem.” The company will then bring Argus to the Salesforce ecosystem at London’s Calling before continuing to Helsinki, where EzProtect will host hands-on Argus workshops as the exclusive security vendor at Finnish Dreamin (June 10) and Architect Dreamin (June 11–12), where EzProtect is a Founding Sponsor.

The 241-day breach lifecycle has persisted for over a decade because the industry optimized for detection while leaving accountability to chance. Argus by EzProtect is the system that ensures what happens after the alert is as certain as the alert itself.

Argus by EzProtect is generally available starting June 2, 2026. Demonstrations are available at Infosecurity Europe (Stand C108), at London’s Calling, and by request at ezprotect.io/argus.
