Milestone Marks Next Step to Help Highly
Regulated Federal Agencies to Extend Cyber Resilience Across
Remote, Hybrid, and AI Endpoints
Absolute Security, a global leader in enterprise cyber
resilience, today announced it has achieved “In Process” status
within the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program
(FedRAMP) marketplace. The Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform is
embedded in more than 600 million PCs and relied upon by over
21,000 customers. By leveraging this platform, Absolute Security
delivers the industry’s only resilient endpoint security solution
that provides visibility and control across global remote and
hybrid PC fleets. Numerous government entities have already
activated Absolute across their distributed endpoints. This
milestone is the next step in delivering cyber resilience
capabilities to a wider range of highly-regulated agencies that
leverage FedRAMP to select and deploy secure cloud services.
“Endpoint devices will continue to be the most important tools
that Federal remote and hybrid workers rely on to achieve their
respective agencies’ missions. To keep them protected against
threats and to secure future deployments that leverage AI and other
innovations, federal agencies will need easy access to proven
security and compliance technologies,” said John Herrema, Chief
Product Officer, Absolute Security. “Our continuing journey to
becoming a FedRAMP ‘Authorized’ provider shows we are committed to
helping agencies maintain the highest levels of security,
compliance, and operational continuity that government
demands.”
Entrenched remote and hybrid work models make it increasingly
difficult for organizations to maintain visibility and control over
PCs. Complexity interferes with the efficacy of endpoint and
network access security controls. AI and other innovations are
requiring enterprises to accelerate new deployments and upgrades of
millions of devices. The modern digital landscape is intensifying
with increasingly advanced cyber threats. These and other factors
are driving security and compliance risk to an all-time high. The
Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform is purpose-built to meet these
challenges. Unique, tamper-resistant firmware-based remote
capabilities ensure that customers maintain uninterrupted and
essential security and compliance benefits needed to thrive in
today’s digital world.
In 2011, FedRAMP was established to provide a cost-effective,
risk-based approach for the adoption and use of cloud services by
the federal government. FedRAMP empowers agencies to use modern
cloud technologies, with an emphasis on security and protection of
federal information. In December 2022, the FedRAMP Authorization
Act was signed as part of the FY23 National Defense Authorization
Act (NDAA). The Act codifies the FedRAMP program as the
authoritative standardized approach to security assessment and
authorization for cloud computing products and services that
process unclassified federal information.
National, state, and local government agencies are frequent
targets for cybercriminals, terrorists, nation-states, and
malicious insiders. With the Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform
embedded in their PCs, governments and enterprises alike stay ahead
of ever-changing threats and achieve compliance with regulatory
mandates, such as NIST, CSF, FISMA, CJIS, DHS, CDM, and more.
Absolute is working with Coalfire as a FedRAMP advisor and
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions are acting as the Third
Party Assessor (3PAO). Marking the achievement, Absolute is now
listed as “In Process” in the (FedRAMP) Marketplace.
