Absolute Security will showcase its latest Cyber Resilience Platform at Black Hat USA 2024 in Las Vegas. The conference will feature moderated demonstrations aimed at Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and other security professionals responsible for protecting their organizations from various threats and disruptions.
The rise of remote and hybrid work models has made it difficult for organizations to maintain visibility and control over their PCs. In addition, artificial intelligence and other innovations have accelerated the need to deploy and update millions of devices more quickly. These technical complexities and increasing threats are leading to business disruption and security control failures. These issues have led to an all-time high in security and compliance risks.
The Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform is designed to address these challenges with unique, firmware-based remote capabilities that deliver critical security, compliance and business continuity benefits. Key platform features showcased include Remote Endpoint Rehydration, Visibility and Control, and Cyber Resilience.
Of particular note is the platform’s Remote Endpoint Rehydration feature. It enables organizations to remotely detect and remove corrupted files and threats on devices experiencing incidents such as the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), ransomware, unauthorized access, and technical errors. The feature also facilitates the recovery and rehydration of the operating system and all security and productivity applications through a one-click process. This automation aims to minimize downtime and business disruption.
Another feature, Visibility and Control, enables customers to maintain constant visibility into their PC fleet and provides comprehensive information on the device security posture. This information is critical to establishing a Comply-to-Connect and Zero-Trust model. Such a model ensures that only endpoints that comply with security policies can connect to corporate networks, assets and data, strengthening overall network security.
The cyber resilience aspect ensures that endpoint security controls remain effective and compliant with security policies. This reduces the risk of errors in threat detection and response and helps prevent unauthorized access attempts while maintaining stable network connectivity.
John Herrema, Chief Product Officer at Absolute Security, emphasized the importance of these features in today’s complex threat landscape. “Increasing threats, remote and hybrid work, complexity and technical failures are causing crippling BSOD events and other costly disruptions,” Herrema said. “Absolute’s unique cyber resilience features are already built into more than half a billion leading PCs. Customers who have activated us run their businesses with the confidence that they have reduced the risk of being crippled by a costly outage or falling victim to a cyberattack.”
Embedded in the firmware of 600 million devices and used by thousands of enterprise customers worldwide, the Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform ensures that mobile and hybrid workforces stay securely connected from any location and that business operations can quickly recover from cyber disruptions or attacks.
Absolute Security works with more than 28 leading endpoint manufacturers and has licensed its technology to 16 million PC users. Its Cyber Resilience Platform is recognized in several key technology categories, including Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Endpoint Security, Security Service Edge (SSE), Firmware-Embedded Persistence, Automated Security Control Assessment (ASCA), and Zero Trust Platforms.
