01 December 2022 - 12:00AM
Business Wire
Latest updates to Absolute Secure Endpoint and
Absolute Secure Access deliver deeper visibility and intelligence,
enhanced user experience, and expanded software integrations
Absolute Software™ (NASDAQ: ABST) (TSX: ABST), the only provider
of self-healing, intelligent security solutions, today announced
new product innovations, empowering customers with deeper
visibility and intelligence, expanded software integrations, and a
refreshed user experience through its latest updates to Absolute
Secure Endpoint and Absolute Secure Access.
These product releases continue the company’s investment in
bringing together the combined power of Absolute Secure Endpoint
and Absolute Secure Access with our unique, firmware-embedded
self-healing capability, enabling customers to achieve truly
resilient Zero Trust environments and deliver an optimal user
experience. This announcement builds on the launch of Absolute ZTNA
– the industry’s first self-healing Zero Trust Network Access
(ZTNA) solution – and Absolute Insights™ for Endpoints and Network,
providing unparalleled intelligence into device, application, and
network performance.
Embedded in more than 600 million devices, Absolute is the only
intelligent security solutions provider capable of delivering
visibility, control, and resiliency across endpoints, applications,
and network connections. The Absolute Platform enables IT and
security teams to ensure their endpoints remain compliant and
mission-critical applications remain operational, and empowers them
to transition from traditional VPNs to a resilient Zero Trust
approach without hindering security or user productivity.
A recent 451 Research report validates Absolute’s differentiated
platform approach and capabilities, saying: Too often,
organizations don’t fully consider the resilience of the deployed
zero-trust environment, and network access and device security are
handled independently. It’s a situation that complicates security
operations and one that can impact employee productivity.
“Our common platform addresses a wide range of market needs, as
we have the unique ability to apply self-healing capabilities to
devices, applications, and network access,” said John Herrema, EVP
of Products and Strategy at Absolute. “Organizations are
acknowledging that they need resilience-focused Zero Trust
approaches, capable of integrating endpoint and access assessments
at every step. By providing the critical components needed to
achieve that resiliency - deep visibility, intelligence, and
firmware-embedded Persistence - we are enabling them to not only
protect devices, data, and users but also ensure critical controls
are operating at maximum efficacy.”
New capabilities available to Absolute Secure Endpoint customers
in the latest product release include:
- Public API Expansion: The latest Absolute Secure
Endpoint release adds new Public APIs to our existing library,
allowing customers and partners to integrate our device actions
into their existing workflows - significantly improving the
efficiency of their existing workflows and enhancing automation
capabilities.
- Absolute Connector for ServiceNow™: The Absolute
Connector for ServiceNow enables joint customers to access
Absolute’s comprehensive asset intelligence and single source of
truth within their ServiceNow platform environment – enabling them
to efficiently respond to service requests, supplement their
ServiceNow workflows, and rapidly demonstrate compliance.
- Expanded Application Resilience™ Catalog: The Absolute
Application Resilience catalog now includes support for more than
60 critical security applications that IT and security
administrators can self-heal across their endpoints. Recent
additions include WinMagic® MagicEndpoint™, Dell™ Trusted Device,
Deep Instinct™, Norton 360™, OPSWAT™, UNOWHY™, Aranda Software™,
and Pixart® MDM.
The company also announced upcoming server and client
enhancements to Absolute Secure Access, including:
- New Look and Feel: The names, status icons, fonts, and
colors have been updated to reflect new product names and refreshed
corporate brand; the core functionality and upgrade experience
remain smooth and easy.
- SaaS Enhancements: The SaaS offering adds native NAT
capabilities and enhanced alerting.
- Enhanced 5G Telemetry and Detection: Insights for
Network dashboards that display cellular coverage, signal quality,
and usage now include the 5G mid-band spectrum, and reflect
improved 5G sensitivity.
- Deeper Visibility: The Secure Access/webService API has
been enhanced, offering programmatic access to key pool performance
metrics, including status information for our Active/Active server
infrastructure.
- Faster NAC Checks: NAC capabilities are optimized,
significantly reducing the time it takes for the VPN to connect and
begin tunneling traffic.
- Android Client Enhancements: Collecting network
telemetry on Android devices can now be done with the screen off to
improve battery life, ensuring that administrators have actionable
device and network information even if a device is in sleep mode.
The Android cryptographic libraries providing FIPS 140-2
cryptography are also updated.
The features included in the latest Absolute Secure Endpoint
release are available now. For additional details, including which
