Omdia Report Highlights Security and Risk Benefits Acquisition Delivers to Enterprises
Absolute Acquires Syxsense, Continuing to Expand its Platform
Absolute Adds Vulnerability, Risk, Patch Management to Next Generation Resilience Platform
Omdia Senior Principal Analyst Fernando Montenegro underscores how the acquisition helps Absolute to fulfill on its mission to expand its platform with capabilities that go beyond traditional endpoint management, advancing proactive resilience, security, and risk management for critical systems worldwide.
According to Omdia, the acquisition adds new dimensions to Absolute’s platform by enabling customers to efficiently manage risks associated with patching, misconfigurations, and unknown IT assets. These innovations align with the evolving needs of enterprise buyers who seek to consolidate security solutions while addressing unique challenges in today’s hybrid work environments.
Key Highlights:
- Absolute now provides a "proactive" component, helping customers to proactively address patching and vulnerability concerns
- For enterprise buyers, this deal gives them one more option for a more specialized offer
- It provides greater options for those seeking a more platform-centric approach to security
- In the case of Absolute, this means patch management, remote access, response and recovery, and resilience for critical tooling via a consolidated offering
As resilience and fast recovery become increasingly important trends, this adds assurance that vulnerability and patch management tools are always on and fully operational. Read the report to learn more.
When considered with its 2021 acquisition of secure access provider NetMotion, these investments position Absolute as offering a platform approach that integrates visibility, control, recovery, and proactive remediation.
