Absolute Security Launches New Integrated Resilience Capabilities for Patching, Vulnerability Management, and Ransomware Remediation, Delivering Greater Cyber Resilience while Reducing Cost and Complexity

January 28, 2025 at 10:30 AM EST

New Modules Deliver Resilient, Self-Healing Automated Patch Management, Vulnerability Scanning and Remediation, Workflow Automation, and One-Click Remote Rehydration to Restore PCs Disrupted by Cyber Attacks, Ransomware, and IT Incidents – in Minutes

Consolidated Offering is Available via the Absolute Resilience Platform, Embedded in More than 600 Million Endpoints, the Platform Improves Overall Resilience and Ensures Endpoints are Always On, Up to Date, and Fully Operational

Absolute Security, the leader in enterprise resilience, today 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.

"Organizations struggle to respond to costly outages and security failures caused by complex and fragile tools. Resilience data we analyzed from millions of PCs shows that more than 25 percent 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 not only offers a simplified, cost-effective, and improved approach to endpoint security and management, our data shows that when underpinned with Absolute resilience, customers’ critical security controls and tools are able to meet their compliance and performance standards nearly 100 percent of the time.”

Gartner(R) 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;¹ and Leadership Vision for 2025: Security and Risk Management, Jan. 13, 2025.² 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, and application resilience, 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 authorization issues finds and remediates exposures before they are exploited. This module includes a library of thousands of prebuilt remediation workflows that can be customized 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 behavioral and device status changes in real-time, and executes self-healing workflows to eliminate configuration drift, helping to ensure endpoints and servers stay secure, compliant, and performant.

Rehydrate: With just one click and within minutes, this innovation can remotely restore mobile, 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.

The new modules are available now in the Resilience, Resilience for Security, and Resilience for Automation editions. For complete details on these and other Absolute Resilience Platform offerings, read the blog.
