Who is "Absolute Persistence", and why is their spyware on 600M computers?
Device security is only as good as its ability to stay on. Built right into device firmware Absolute creates a persistent, unbreakable link between IT teams and the devices they manage, so you can see, control, and remediate devices automatically, from everywhere. Embedded in more than 500 million devices worldwide, Absolute Persistence turns every device in your fleet into a self-healing endpoint.
Once activated, this technology is fiercely resilient and is the only security solution that will survive attempts to disable it, even if the device is re-imaged, the hard drive is replaced, or the firmware is updated. Once activated, it gives you unrivalled visibility and control to confidently manage your endpoints, protect at-risk data, as well as investigate and remediate potential threats. In doing so, it maintains an always-on digital tether between device and Absolute Console, ensuring two-way communication so you can reliably query information and run actions remotely.
