Adds Netskope’s CASB and NG-SWG to growing
ecosystem of endpoint security and productivity tools deemed
mission-critical by IT and Security teams to ensure they remain
healthy and undeletable
Absolute Software™ (NASDAQ: ABST) (TSX: ABST), a leader in
Endpoint Resilience™ solutions, today announced customers can now
autonomously self-heal more of the critical applications they rely
on to secure remote access and communication for their distributed
workforces. Using Absolute’s Application Persistence™ service, IT
and security administrators can help ensure the Netskope® Cloud
Access Security Broker (CASB) and Next-Gen Secure Web Gateway
(NG-SWG) – in addition to more than 40 other leading endpoint
security agents and productivity tools – remain installed, healthy,
and undeletable.
The ongoing global COVID-19 outbreak has unearthed the dire need
for organizations to find effective, scalable solutions capable of
supporting remote and hybrid work environments for the long term.
The percentage of workers around the world permanently working from
home is expected to double in 2021, according to a survey from
Enterprise Technology Research (ETR). Guidance from industry
experts emphasizes that in order to support larger populations of
work-from-home employees effectively, “security teams must have the
right technology in place to avoid poor performance and ensure
secure access.”
Anchored by its firmware-embedded Persistence® capabilities
residing in more than 500 million endpoints, Absolute provides an
undeletable digital tether to every device to help ensure the
highest levels of resiliency. Absolute’s Application Persistence
service leverages this unbreakable, two-way connection to monitor
mission-critical security applications’ health and behavior,
identify if missing or corrupted, and automatically repair or
reinstall components when necessary - without requiring human
intervention.
“It’s critical for organizations to preserve secure cloud access
to critical applications, systems, and data,” said Billy Bond, VP
of Business Development and Alliances at Netskope. “We’re pleased
to support Absolute Software, whose Persistence and Resilience
capabilities make it easy for customers to monitor and self-heal
popular Netskope offerings such as CASB and NG-SWG.”
“With the future of work and school still in flux, organizations
realize the need for security solutions that can help them maintain
agility and resiliency regardless of whether they are operating
in-person or remotely, or transitioning back and forth,” said Ameer
Karim, EVP of Product Management at Absolute. “By extending our
self-healing capabilities to the applications our customers rely on
to enable secure access to corporate applications and systems like
Netskope, we are equipping them to both strengthen endpoint
security and minimize the burden on already-stretched IT and
Security teams.”
To enable remote workers to securely access corporate networks
and systems, Absolute Resilience® customers can now also monitor
and self-heal the Palo Alto Networks® GlobalProtect™ security
platform, in addition to several previously announced virtual
private network (VPN) tools: Cisco® AnyConnect® Secure Mobility
Client, F5® BIG-IP® Edge Client, and Pulse Connect Secure. A full
list of the currently supported applications that comprise
Absolute’s growing Application Persistence ecosystem is available
here.

Absolute’s Application Persistence service as a standalone add-on
