Highlights
Stay resilient with Absolute Core
Resilient remote access
- Absolute’s self-healing Secure Access client for Windows is capable of automatically repairing or reinstalling itself if tampered with, accidentally removed, or otherwise stops working – ensuring it remains healthy and delivers full intended value.
- A blend of sophisticated and patented technologies improve performance when the optimized tunnel is active – especially on slow networks. With Network Resilience, users stay connected no matter what - even when the network drops altogether.
- Patented technologies enhance audio and video performance, while prioritizing mission-critical connections. The optimized tunnel stabilizes and improves connectivity on weak networks, enhancing the experience for remote workers.

Easy to implement and scale
A smoother transition to ZTNA
- On-premises to cloud doesn’t happen overnight. Neither does full Zero Trust. Absolute is the only vendor to provide a world-class optimized secure tunnel and ZTNA solution as part of its platform, allowing for rapid or gradual ZTNA adoption.
- Absolute Core is entirely software-based and scales seamlessly as your requirements evolve – with no new hardware investments or headaches. Flexible deployment options ensure your organization is ready to work from anywhere.

Secure Access FAQ
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.
Absolute Secure Access encompasses these 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.
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.
