Absolute Security Showcases Cyber Resilience at Black Hat USA 2024
Absolute Security is gearing up to unveil its latest Cyber Resilience Platform at the much-anticipated Black Hat USA 2024 conference in Las Vegas. This significant event will provide a stage for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and security experts to explore cutting-edge demonstrations aimed at enhancing organizational resilience against cyber threats and disruptions.
Addressing Modern Security Challenges
In today's digital landscape, the shift towards remote and hybrid work models has posed new challenges for organizations striving to maintain control over their IT infrastructure. With the rapid integration of artificial intelligence and other technological advancements, the pressure to quickly upgrade and manage a vast array of devices has intensified. Consequently, these complexities often culminate in security control failures and heightened compliance risks.
Unique Capabilities of the Cyber Resilience Platform
The Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform is engineered to tackle these issues head-on with its innovative firmware-based remote capabilities. It provides essential benefits for security, compliance, and business continuity. Key features to be highlighted include Remote Endpoint Rehydration, Visibility and Control, and Cyber Resilience.
Remote Endpoint Rehydration
One standout feature is the Remote Endpoint Rehydration capability. This function allows organizations to remotely identify and eliminate corrupted files and threats from devices affected by issues like the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), ransomware, unauthorized access, and technical errors. This feature supports a seamless restoration of the operating system and all essential applications with just one click, greatly reducing downtime and operational interruptions.
Enhancing Visibility and Control
The platform's Visibility and Control feature grants continuous oversight of device fleets, delivering detailed insights into their security status. This intelligence is vital for crafting a Comply-to-Connect, Zero Trust environment, which ensures that only security-compliant devices can access corporate networks and data, thus enhancing overall network protection.
Ensuring Cyber Resilience
The Cyber Resilience component ensures that endpoint security controls are robust and adhere to security policies, mitigating risks of detection and prevention failures. This capability plays a crucial role in thwarting unauthorized access attempts and maintaining a resilient network connection.
Leader Insights and Industry Adoption
John Herrema, Chief Product Officer at Absolute Security, emphasized the platform's relevance in today's complex threat environment. "The growing threats and complexities of remote work are triggering disruptive BSOD events and other costly issues," Herrema stated. "With Absolute’s cyber resilience capabilities, embedded in over half a billion PCs, customers are assured of reduced risks against costly outages or cyber attacks."
The platform's integration into the firmware of 600 million devices underscores its reliability, trusted by numerous enterprises worldwide. This ensures mobile and hybrid workforces stay securely connected, with business operations swiftly recovering from any cyber disruptions.
Strategic Partnerships and Recognitions
Absolute Security has forged partnerships with over 28 leading endpoint device manufacturers, with technology licensed across 16 million users. The platform is acclaimed in critical technology areas, such as Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Endpoint Security, Security Service Edge (SSE), and more, affirming its pivotal role in modern cybersecurity strategies.
