Absolute Security's expanded resilience platform

Absolute Security, the pioneer in enterprise resilience, announced that the Absolute Resilience Platform has expanded to provide customers with integrated, resilient, and automated patch management, vulnerability scanning and remediation, workflow automation and remote “one-click” endpoint rehydration.

Unified with existing Absolute capabilities, this single-platform approach delivers needed security and risk capabilities, reduces the cost of endpoint management, and improves resilience across endpoints and critical security and IT controls to ensure your enterprise remains always on, fully operational, and protected against threats and disruptions.

Absolute’s expanded platform

"Organisations struggle to respond to costly outages and security failures caused by complex and fragile tools. Resilience data we analysed from millions of PCs shows that almost a third of the time, top security controls and management tools fail to maintain levels of efficacy and compliance needed to defend against attacks and recover from disruptions,” said John Herrema, Chief Product Officer at Absolute Security.

“Absolute’s expanded platform offers a simplified, cost-effective, and improved approach to endpoint security and management. Telemetry we look at demonstrates that when underpinned with Absolute resilience, customers’ mission-critical IT and security applications meet compliance and performance standards close to 100 percent of the time.”

Gartner's two recent reports

Absolute’s expanded forum now leads on both these trends by integrating living and new endpoint security

Gartner has pointed out in two recent reports that Security Consolidation and Embedded Resilience are gaining ground as enterprise imperatives: Simplify Cybersecurity With a Platform Consolidation Framework, March 26, 2024; and Leadership Vision for 2025: Security and Risk Management, Jan. 13, 2025. 

Absolute’s expanded platform now leads on both these trends by integrating existing and new endpoint security, risk, and management solutions on a single, hardware-embedded resilience platform. In addition to existing visibility, control, application resilience, and self-healing, new modules include:

• Patch: Sophisticated patching and scanning automatically detects devices with OS or software vulnerabilities, eliminating manual IT operations and ensuring end users stay protected and productive. This module supports OS and security patching for Windows, Mac, Linux, and hundreds of leading third-party applications. 

• Remediate: Comprehensive, automated scanning and monitoring for OS and security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and authorisation issues finds and remediates exposures before they are exploited. This module includes a library of thousands of prebuilt remediation workflows that can be customised or extended using a simple no-code workflow builder to meet unique enterprise requirements without the need for highly technical and error-prone scripting.

• Automate: Intuitive, no-code workflow builder defines and automates endpoint and server management and security, identifies behavioural and device status changes in real-time, and executes self-healing workflows to eliminate configuration drift to ensure endpoints and servers stay secure, compliant, and performant.

• Rehydrate: Within minutes, this remote, one-click innovation can restore remote and hybrid PC fleets to full operational capacity following a ransomware attack or IT incident, even when the device OS and other security and management tools are crashing, compromised, or corrupted.

IT and security teams

“Managing and securing PC fleets has become increasingly challenging. Juggling disparate, manual technologies places strain on IT and security teams, creates security and compliance blind spots, and introduces complexity that can bring business to a halt,” said Nima Jouyandeh, MIS – Infrastructure and Network, Kingston Technology.

“As long-time Syxsense customers, we are excited by the prospect of having access to a more robust consolidated platform. The opportunity to simplify management, gain a full view of our endpoint infrastructure, automate processes, and ensure that we remain secure, compliant, and resilient against attacks, threats, and incidents is definitely compelling.” The new modules are available now in the Resilience, Resilience for Security, and Resilience for Automation editions.
