About Absolute
At a glance
Absolute is a cybersecurity company specializing in Endpoint Security, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. It employs about 1,258 people and was acquired by Crosspoint Capital Partners in 2023.
Absolute Security provides endpoint security and management solutions with firmware-embedded technology that enables persistent visibility and control over devices. The company's core technology, called Persistence, is factory-embedded in the BIOS firmware of over 600 million endpoints from 28 device manufacturers, making it nearly impossible to remove and allowing it to self-heal when tampered with. The platform offers organizations a centralized view of all their devices, enabling remote querying and remediation at scale. Absolute Security extends its Persistence technology to mission-critical applications beyond its own agent, providing resilience across the entire technology stack. The solution includes capabilities for device tracking, management, remote data sanitization, and missing device reclamation services. The company serves enterprises, government agencies, educational institutions, and other organizations across multiple sectors. Their technology enables administrators to maintain continuous digital connections to endpoints, applications, and network connections regardless of device location or network status. The platform supports hybrid work environments by allowing IT teams to manage and secure devices remotely without requiring physical access. Founded in 1993 as a platform to track and manage computers in the education sector, Absolute Security evolved through partnerships with device manufacturers in the early 2000s. The company holds 186 patents related to its technology and maintains thousands of customers globally.
