Absolute Software Helps Customers Secure Remote Access and Communication

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, a leader in Endpoint Resilience solutions, 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.

“security teams must have the right technology in place to avoid poor performance and ensure secure access.”

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.”

“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.”
