Ability to provide Endpoint Resilience,
Visibility and Control differentiates Absolute Secure Endpoint
product portfolio
Absolute Software™ (NASDAQ: ABST) (TSX: ABST), the only provider
of self-healing, intelligent security solutions, today announced
that Omdia, a leading provider of global research that helps
enterprises navigate the technology ecosystem, named the company a
“Vendor to Watch” in the latest Omdia Market Radar for Endpoint
Security Platforms, 2022. The report highlights Absolute’s ability
to ensure resilience for millions of remote endpoints along with a
critical level of control and visibility that strengthens user
trust and provides insights that allow security teams to identify
and respond to security risks in real time.
“Cyberthreats and compliance challenges have accelerated
alongside explosive growth in remote work, creating new challenges
for enterprises that are trying to mitigate heightened risk that
traditional security tools can no longer address,” said Rik Turner,
Principal Analyst, Cybersecurity, Omdia. “This new Radar identifies
the latest innovations that are effectively defending modern
enterprise edge environments without disrupting business
operations. Because all organizations have unique requirements, we
profiled additional vendors delivering highly differentiated
capabilities to the market.”
In the report, the Absolute Secure Endpoint portfolio is called
out for its unique capabilities, including:
- Visibility: This tracks, alerts, and reports on hardware
attributes, measures device usage and interaction, monitors
installed software, assesses security posture, and monitors the
health of critical applications.
- Control: In addition to the above, this offers geofencing and
unauthorized device movement detection, remote wiping or freezing
of devices, and selective deletion of files or full device wipe.
There is a mobile app (for Android and iOS) for checking the status
of critical security controls and freezing access for any device
reported as lost or stolen. It also has remote firmware protection
of supervisor passwords for certain Lenovo devices.
- Resilience: This adds self-healing for critical applications,
remote querying, and remediation across whole fleets of devices as
well as investigation and recovery of stolen devices in
collaboration with law enforcement, web usage monitoring, and
scanning for sensitive information both on devices and when synced
to cloud storage.
“Endpoints will continue to be a pillar of enterprise IT
strategies now and in the future, with reliance on them only
increasing in our new work-from-anywhere era,” said John Herrema,
EVP of Products and Strategy at Absolute. “In the face of
increasing threats that target the edge, CISOs are looking for
innovations that strengthen the resiliency of their device fleets
and critical applications deployed. We are delighted to be
recognized by Omdia for our differentiated Secure Endpoint
portfolio that enables IT and security teams to ensure their
endpoints remain secure and compliant and their security controls
remain operational and healthy.”
