Maintain the efficacy of critical asset management, data protection, and security applications through Absolute Application Resilience by monitoring and remediating their health and integrity.
View configured geofences in map view to visually compare the location of devices with the location of geofences.

What's New?
Configure Authorization Thresholds and a Secondary Approver for Device Actions
- Dual Approver of Device Actions (New)
Certain device actions such as wiping a device, freezing a device, and running a script can be disruptive to an organization and so it’s important to ensure that they are not executed either by mistake or maliciously by a disgruntled employee or a threat actor. The new Dual Approver capability allows IT and security administrators to set authorization thresholds on the number of devices that can be included in device action requests before a secondary approver is required. Dual Approver is supported on the following device actions – Device Freeze, File Delete, Unenroll Device, Run Script, Send Message, and Cryptographic Wipe. The capability is available to customers subscribed to the Absolute Control and Absolute Resilience service tiers.
Ensure the Efficacy of Critical Asset Management, Data Protection, and Security Applications

Application Resilience delivers the ability to monitor application health and automatically repair and/or re-install unhealthy third-party applications listed in the Application Resilience catalog to restore them to healthy operations.
