The rapid shift to remote work since the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly heightened cybersecurity risks, with a notable 238% increase in cyberattacks targeting home workers. As businesses continue adapting to remote and hybrid work models, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been more critical. In response, Absolute Security is poised to unveil its latest cyber resilience platform at the upcoming RSA Conference, May 6-9 in San Francisco.
This new platform tackles the surge in cybersecurity threats exacerbated by the pandemic’s remote work trend. At the conference, CISOs and security professionals will gather to see firsthand how Absolute Security’s platform can protect organizations from the escalated risks of ransomware and unauthorized access.
Christy Wyatt, CEO of Absolute Security, expressed the urgency of adapting to these changes: “As the landscape of work has transformed globally, so too have the methods of cybercriminals. Our new platform is specifically engineered to address these evolving threats, ensuring that businesses can continue to operate securely in this new digital era.”
Absolute’s demonstrations will focus on the platform’s ability to maintain control and visibility over-dispersed IT assets, which is increasingly challenging as more employees operate outside traditional office environments. The platform integrates advanced firmware-based remote capabilities into PCs, ensuring that only devices compliant with stringent security policies can access vital corporate networks and data, thereby enforcing a Zero Trust security model.

Key features of the Absolute Cyber Resilience Platform include endpoint security controls and the capability for remote isolation to quickly address threats. It also allows for the rapid recovery of systems to operational status after an attack, essential for sustaining business continuity amidst cyber disruptions.
The technology, already embedded in over 600 million devices worldwide through partnerships with major OEMs, simplifies the deployment process by eliminating the need for additional software. This integration streamlines the platform’s adoption across various organizational structures.
In addition to the platform showcase, attendees at the RSA Conference will also learn about new features and strategic partnerships, such as the Absolute Compliance Module and the Absolute Connector for Forescout eyeSight. These enhancements strengthen network and endpoint security by ensuring that only compliant devices can establish connections, improving defenses against unauthorized access.
