Make your remote access solution resilient to external factors, leveraging a self-healing Secure Access client for Windows

Quickly and easily expand access to networks, the Internet, cloud services, and private applications without interfering with your employees’ ability to do their jobs

Make applications invisible to unauthorized users, which reduces the attack surface

Conduct real-time risk assessments as well as threat detection and prevention

Assure a secure browsing experience for all – desk, mobile, or hybrid users

Improve helpdesk effectiveness by proactively diagnosing and correcting poorly performing networks

An optimized tunnel to stabilize and improve connectivity

Reliable and resilient remote access

Assure reliable network application access for end users even in the most turbulent network conditions by leveraging patented tunnel and network session resilience.

Deliver a secure browsing experience for all – desk, mobile, or hybrid workers

Protect against online security threats and infections

Defend against viruses, malware, malicious code, zero-day threats, as well as data loss or leakage.
Safely inspect, scrub, and inoculate Web content in a cloud container before delivering it safely to the end user’s Web browser.
Scan for the presence of malware, including worms, Trojan horses, and spyware.
Block malware (including zero-day threats) from reaching endpoints and networks by rendering websites in isolated containers located on remote servers far from the endpoint.
Disarm and reconstruct content from file downloads.
Prevent inadvertent uploads of sensitive information to maintain compliance, protect intellectual property, and reduce overall risk exposure.

Govern cloud usage across devices and cloud applications

Unlock the power of the cloud

Control access to SaaS applications based on risk, including contextual factors like time of day, user, device security posture, geolocation, network connection, etc.
Prevent malicious and accidental data leakage across cloud-based resources.
Stop the spread of threats such as ransomware across cloud and user endpoints.

Make counting on your networked world possible

Assure continued service delivery

Automatically restore unhealthy network connections and applications, coupled with increased visibility into network health and security posture.

Secure Access FAQ

What is Absolute Secure Access?

Absolute Secure Access is one of the company’s core product lines, which was added through the acquisition of NetMotion in July 2021. The product portfolio provides resilient network connectivity for users to securely access critical resources in the public cloud, private data centers, and on-premises. These products allow users to transition from an optimized, secure tunnel to a resilient Zero Trust approach, without impairing productivity or admin controls.

What products are part of Absolute Secure Access?

Absolute Secure Access encompasses three products:

Absolute Core provides security and confidentiality for data in motion by means of encryption and access controls. It also offers benefits to the end user, such as making tunnel and network sessions resilient and optimizing streaming video and audio.
Absolute Edge provides a software-defined perimeter via Zero Trust Network Access, creating a context-based, logical access boundary around an application or set of applications – wherever they're hosted. It shields applications from the Internet, making them invisible to unauthorized users. Access policies are enforced at the endpoint, avoiding latency and any data transgression.
Absolute Enterprise is a converged, resilient cloud-native SSE platform that includes Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Private Access (ZTNA), Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) into a single platform. It also includes proactive anomaly detection (AI Threat Insights) and over 70+ dashboards of user, device, network, and application behavior (Insights for Network) as well as Endpoint Compliance that gives administrators additional visibility, control, and resilience over user devices.
Absolute Insights for Network™ offers diagnostic and experience monitoring capabilities across endpoints and network, allowing organizations to proactively monitor, investigate, and remediate end user performance issues quickly and at scale, even on networks that are not company-owned or managed.

What product packages does Absolute Secure Access provide?

Absolute Secure Access packages are offered in three flavors: Absolute Core™, Absolute Edge ™, and Absolute Enterprise with the included products and capabilities as outlined below. Regional variations might be available.

Absolute Core
