Absolute announced new additions to the Absolute Reach Library, including automated risk assessment tools to mitigate the business risk of new Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities. Absolute Reach provides organizations with the situational awareness to identify vulnerable endpoints — on- and off- the corporate network — and protect data, guiding customers through appropriate remediation and prevention steps. Same day response to high priority endpoint vulnerabilities is increasingly critical as organizations work to reduce risks to sensitive data and brand reputation. As threats like Meltdown and Spectre emerge, Absolute’s rapid response team assesses the technical details of the event, developing targeted risk assessment and remediation tools that have been validated to help organizations reduce their exposure. These automated workflows are made available to customers via the Absolute Reach library, accelerating time to remediate and arming security staff with automated workflows to mitigate risks and protect data. To remain safe and resilient in the face of security vulnerabilities, customers can also extend Absolute’s self-healing Application Persistence to complementary endpoint controls such as CrowdStrike, Carbon Black, Cylance and other agents. Application Persistence prevents additional security posture gaps by monitoring current status and blocking attempts to exploit vulnerabilities.
