Absolute Software, the leading provider of self-healing, intelligent security solutions, today announced the launch of Absolute Application Health. This new feature empowers digital enterprises to strengthen cyber resilience and boost end user productivity with the industryโs most resilient application health monitoring capabilities.
With this latest innovation to the companyโs Secure Endpoint product line, customers can monitor the health of more than 2,000 commonly used Windows and Mac applications โ including security controls, business, and productivity tools โ to ensure they are installed, running, and properly configured on all devices.
โOrganisations deploy millions of endpoint devices to support growing remote workforces around the world, and they invest billions of dollars into security controls needed to protect their networks against advanced threats and costly compliance violations,โ said Sarah Pavlak, Industry Principal, Frost & Sullivan.
โDespite all these efforts and money spent, organisations continue to experience increasing attacks and complexity challenges that severely disrupt business operations. This is leading to a continual need for innovations that can mitigate software failures and close security gaps.โ
Absoluteโsย 2023 Resilience Indexย reveals that on average, enterprise endpoint devices have 67 applications deployed, with 10 per cent of these having more than 100 applications installed. In analysing 10 of the most widely deployed security tools, the report also shows seven of those 10 apps were installed and healthy on less than 80 per cent of deployed devices, on average. In some cases, apps were only functioning correctly 47 per cent of the time.
โTodayโs digital enterprises are investing billions of dollars in mission-critical security and business tools, and we believe those applications should deliver their intended value,โ said John Herrema, Chief Product Officer, Absolute Software.
โThe complexity and fragility of endpoint applications, however, means that all too often they are failing.ย And if the tool you use to monitor your other applications is subject to those same failures, then youโre really in trouble, because itโs impossible to fix what you canโt reliably see or diagnose. This latest innovation builds on Absoluteโs unique Persistence technology to provide the industryโs most resilient visibility and monitoring capabilities. This allows our customers to achieve maximum security, productivity, and return on their software investments.โ
With Absolute Application Health, IT and security practitioners gain the deep visibility needed to ensure applications are installed, running, up-to-date, and properly configured across their entire device fleet. They also have access to detailed, interactive reports and widgets that enable them to swiftly diagnose why an application is failing and then take remedial action.
Embedded in the firmware of more than 600 million devices, Absoluteโs patented Persistenceยฎ technology provides a secure, always-on connection between the Absolute Platform and the endpoint. The new Application Health feature leverages this digital tether to ensure health monitoring and reporting remains uninterrupted.
Absolute Application Health is available now to Absolute Secure Endpoint customers subscribed to eligible Absolute Resilience licenses.
