Absolute Software to Expand Application Resilience Ecosystem with New Product

Absolute Software | March 14, 2023

Absolute SoftwareTM, the only provider of self-healing, intelligent security solutions, recently announced the continued addition to the Absolute Application Resilience ecosystem with the introduction of the latest product. Joint clients can now utilize Absolute's proprietary Persistence® technology and unbreakable device connection to improve the resiliency and health of over 70 mission-critical security and business solutions, such as eClinicalWorks, HCL BigFix, IMTLazarus, UNOWHY, Forescout® SecureConnector, Pixart® MDM, Plurilock CloudCodes, and XM Cyber HaXy. In today's work-from-anywhere scenarios, the need for resilient security policies able to secure remote devices and sensitive data has never been more critical. Absolute's analysis reveals that non-resilient applications may function effectively on lesser than 80% of the devices on which they have been installed, and in some cases as low as 35%, whereas over 95% of devices with Application Resilience functionalities facilitated reported healthy security applications. As a result of increasing demand, Absolute has witnessed a 26% year-over-year rise in the number of customer devices utilizing Application Resilience to monitor app behavior and health, as well as a 42% increase in the number of devices monitoring application health and autonomously reinstalling and repairing them when required. John Herrema, EVP of Product and Strategy at Absolute Software, said, "It is abundantly clear that in order to deliver both maximum protection and returns on security investments, critical controls must be constantly monitored and maintained." He added, "Our unique intelligence repeatedly shows that complex device environments have put endpoint agents at constant risk of collision, decay, or being disabled by malicious or negligent users. By making the investments to continuously grow our Application Resilience ecosystem, we are enabling our customers to harden their defenses against malicious attackers and strengthen overall security posture."
