Absolute Security has achieved significant recognition as both a Leader and an Outperformer in the 2025 GigaOm Radar for Patch Management Solutions.
The company has been commended for its unified, automated platform that is widely utilised by enterprises, Managed Services Providers (MSPs), and Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) to effectively address critical patch management needs. Cybersecurity Analyst Stan Wisseman praised Absolute Security, awarding it Superior and Exceptional ratings for its innovative platform.
Secure endpoint integrated product suite
The GigaOm Radar report highlights Absolute Security's advanced patch management approach, featuring the Absolute Resilience for Automation as part of its Secure Endpoint integrated product suite. This solution combines automated remediation, patch orchestration, and endpoint visibility with a unique firmware-embedded persistence.
This patented feature ensures a secure, unbreakable connection to devices even in the event of OS corruption, reimaging, or factory reset. Such persistence is crucial in distributed, hybrid, and high-security environments where continuous management is essential.
Software security and risk exposures
Absolute Security Resilience Risk Index 2025 reveals that corps typically delay fixing by an average of 56 days
The Absolute Security Resilience Risk Index 2025 reveals that organisations typically delay patching by an average of 56 days. This duration far exceeds the 30-day standard advised by bodies like the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and poses a risk given that threat actors can exploit vulnerabilities within one to seven days.
With Absolute Security's solutions, customers can swiftly automate patching and vulnerability remediation, thereby reducing software security risks and minimising downtime.
Advantages of vulnerable software
Ashley Leonard, SVP of Product Management at Absolute Security, emphasised that, "Threat actors know the fastest and easiest way to breach systems, steal data, and disrupt business operations is by taking advantage of vulnerable software."
Leonard added that reducing exposure is essential to maintaining system resilience and that the validation from GigaOm confirms the effectiveness of Absolute Security’s solutions in preemptively countering threats and preventing outages.
Absolute Security patch management solution
The Absolute Security patch management solution was recognised for its leadership status in the Radar report, attributed to several key differentiators:
- Staged Patch Testing and Deployment: GigaOm noted the solution's staged patch rollouts equipped with rollback logic and dynamic health checks to mitigate risks before full implementation. Real-time telemetry is available to verify patch status and execute fallback actions if needed.
- Policy Automation and Customisation: The solution's patching logic employs various attributes, including device role, compliance posture, and geographic location. This allows for policy customisation such as reboot suppression and blackout window enforcement, with custom risk scoring aligning patch management to business priorities.
- Workflow Integrations: GigaOm highlighted the solution's seamless integration with platforms like ServiceNow and ConnectWise via a bidirectional public API. This facilitates efficient patch operations, supporting SLA tracking, approval processes, and incident response, thus bridging IT and SecOps workflows to reduce mean time to remediation (MTTR).
Absolute Security, a pioneer in enterprise cyber resilience, announced it is the only provider named as both a Leader and Outperformer in the 2025 GigaOm Radar for Patch Management Solutions.
In the report, Cybersecurity Analyst Stan Wisseman recognised Absolute Security with both Superior and Exceptional ratings for its platform that delivers a unified, automated, and resilient solution used by enterprises, Managed Services Providers (MSPs), and Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) to address critical patch management use cases.
Secure Endpoint integrated product suite
In the Radar, GigaOm highlights that “Absolute Security delivers a differentiated approach to patch management with Absolute Resilience for Automation, its most advanced edition of the Secure Endpoint integrated product suite."
"It combines automated remediation, patch orchestration, and endpoint visibility with firmware-embedded persistence, a patented capability that maintains a tamper-proof connection to devices even after OS corruption, reimaging, or factory reset. This persistent architecture is especially valuable in distributed, hybrid, and high-security environments, where continuous control is paramount.”
Software security and risk exposures
According to the Absolute Security Resilience Risk Index 2025, organisations run behind on patching an average of 56 days. Although organisations set their own patching schedules, this is well beyond the accepted 30-day standard set by organisations such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and dangerously outside of the one-to-seven days it takes threat actors in many cases to exploit vulnerabilities, as noted in the Index.
With Absolute Security, customers can quickly and easily automate patching and vulnerability remediation across their distributed endpoint fleets to quickly close software security and risk exposures that lead to productivity losses and lead to extended downtime.
Advantage of vulnerable software
“Threat actors know the fastest and easiest way to breach systems, steal data, and disrupt business operations is by taking advantage of vulnerable software,” said Ashley Leonard, SVP, Product Management, Absolute Security.
“The best way to stop downtime is to avoid exposure in the first place—a key element of any resilience strategy. With this validation from GigaOm, customers are further assured that Absolute Security’s resilient and automated patching and remediation solution is helping them to proactively stay ahead of threats, incidents, our outages.”
Absolute Security patch management solution
According to the Radar, the Absolute Security patch management solution earned leadership status based on several key differentiators:
- Staged Patch Testing and Deployment: GigaOm recognised Absolute Security’s capabilities that offer staged patch rollouts with rollback logic and dynamic health checks to reduce risk prior to full deployment. In addition, real-time telemetry helps validate patch status and trigger fallback actions when required.
- Policy Automation and Customisation: GigaOm highlighted Absolute Security’s patching logic that uses attributes such as device role, compliance posture, or geographic location. Policies can suppress reboots, enforce blackout windows, and handle exceptions. In addition, custom risk scoring enables IT to align patch management with their organisation’s business priorities.
- Workflow Integrations: GigaOm emphasised Absolute Security’s granular integrations with platforms such as ServiceNow, ConnectWise, and CMDBs through a bidirectional public API to streamline patch operations. Integrations support SLA tracking, approval chains, and incident response handoffs—bridging IT and SecOps workflows to reduce mean time to remediation (MTTR).
