Absolute Review

See What Others Can’t See, Secure What Others Can’t Secure

Absolute is a unique endpoint security solution because it provides organizations with the capability to secure those endpoints that are not typically seen and secured by others. These endpoints are called dark endpoints, and they are comprised of devices that are off the network, lost, and stolen, or those devices that are running without effective security controls.

Thus, the platform gives organizations and IT operations full control and visibility of all their devices, applications, data, and users, whether they are on or off the network. This way, they can identify high-risk endpoints, quantify and manage risks, and remediate devices, applications, data, and users in real-time when security incidents happen.

Apply Custom Queries And Remediation Scripts

The endpoint security solution has a technology and tool called Absolute Reach. This tool allows asset managers and security professionals to visualize, manage, and secure every endpoint through the aid of custom queries and remediation scripts. Thus, they can query or remediate Windows and Mac devices to collect accurate insights, letting them eliminate vulnerabilities and maintain compliance. The tool permits the execution of scripted and customized workflows, and commands that automate tasks.

Self-Healing Application Persistence Technology

Another powerful technology and tool utilized by Absolute is its persistence technology which has the capability to self-heal applications. Aimed at building full application resiliency, proving compliance, and eliminating blind spots; this tool which is called Application Persistence makes sure that self-healing encryption is enabled on business-critical applications. It provides users with a complete and uninterrupted visibility of all their applications regardless of the locations of the devices where these applications are installed or whatever the status of their network.

Application Persistence has a zero-touch application resilience capability. How does this work? For instance, when a business-critical application is removed, disabled, or tampered with; the tool automatically performs a zero-touch reinstallation of the application. This capability helps users ensure that all of their critical applications are always available and application vulnerabilities are remediated instantly.

Data Awareness

Absolute is equipped with features related to data awareness. Thus, users will be able to discover sensitive data, identify where such data are located or hidden, and apply the needed security controls so that the sensitive data are protected. They can quickly determine when devices or cloud storage applications that are not secured contain at-risk data. As a result, they will be able to remove the sensitive data from such devices or applications. In addition, data access and usage which violates security and compliance policies is easily identified. When such non-compliant data access results in security issues, users can remediate it and fix the issues instantly.
