Absolute Security to reveal next-gen cyber resilience at RSA Conference 2024

Fri, 3rd May 2024

Absolute Security has announced it will demonstrate the next-generation of enterprise cyber resilience during the RSA Conference 2024. The demonstration of the Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform will provide insights for security and risk professionals, CISOs among them, who are responsible for protecting their organisations from cyber threats, including ransomware and unauthorised access.

The digitization of work models that include remote and hybrid work, coupled with complexities from AI and other innovations, is making the maintenance of visibility and control over PCs increasingly difficult for organisations. The resultant challenge in security compliance and risk is precipitating an increase in cyber threats. To meet these challenges, the Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform has been purpose-built with unique, firmware-based remote capabilities that provide essential security and compliance benefits.

Customers utilising the Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform can maintain constant visibility and control over PC fleets and obtain comprehensive intelligence on device security posture to establish a Comply to Connect, Zero Trust model. This model ensures that only endpoints compliant with security policies connect to corporate networks, assets, and data, significantly reducing cyber threats. The platform also allows for remote isolation when threats are detected, reducing the opportunity for threat actors to compromise environments; and facilitates remote recovery to normal operations after threats have been eliminated, helping organisations to quickly restore business continuity.

With Absolute now embedded in PCs by 28 of the world's leading OEMs, these critical security and compliance capabilities can be easily deployed without the need to add additional software to machines. In fact, it is reported that most new customers have the platform pre-installed in the firmware of their endpoints as it is incorporated in more than 600 million devices.

"In the coming year, we will see enterprise customers deploy millions of devices to enable their global hybrid workforces with advanced PCs that can take advantage of AI and other productivity innovations, whilst struggling to maintain compliance and remain resilient against cybercriminals, ransomware, and other advanced threats," said Christy Wyatt, CEO, Absolute Security. "By activating the unique cyber resilience capabilities built into leading PCs, businesses will be able to more safely connect, manage, restore, and recover devices in the face of increasing risk."

The conference attendees will learn more about new capabilities and partnerships that Absolute has to offer. These include a Compliance Module that integrates security policies into network access and endpoint security controls. The Absolute Connector for Forescout eyeSight ensures that networks and data are protected against unauthorised and non-compliant access, whilst the firmware-based remote capabilities enable customers to remotely isolate, restore and recover devices impacted by ransomware or other threats. Finally, the company's commitment to expanding MSP and MSSP Support, as showcased through the addition of Syxsense into the Absolute Persistence as a Service (APaaS) partner program and Absolute into the ConnectWise Invent partner program, ensures the continuation of Absolute's cyber resilience capabilities.
