Unbreakable Resilience: The Future of Cybersecurity
In today's rapidly evolving threat landscape, organizations face an unprecedented level of risk. Cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated than ever. The average cost of a data breach has skyrocketed to $4.4 million,1 while the annual cost of downtime across Global 2000 companies is $400 billion.2 The harsh reality is that even with robust security measures in place, organizations can still experience crippling downtime and data breaches.
The Challenge
Despite massive investments in cybersecurity tools, IT operations, and endpoint management systems, organizations continue to grapple with fundamental gaps that attackers exploit and operational failures that disrupt business continuity. Traditional controls were not designed for this level of complexity, and the reality is they still face significant challenges:
- Endpoint Security Gaps: 22% of the time, organizations fail to keep critical endpoint security controls compliant.3
- Application Failures: Every security application eventually fails, often through no fault of its own.
- Downtime and Disruption: The average duration of downtime after a ransomware attack is 24 days,4 leading to significant downtime and disruption.
The Solution
CrowdStrike stops breaches, and Absolute stops downtime. Together, they deliver a uniquely powerful combination: industry-leading breach prevention paired with unbreakable endpoint resilience. By combining CrowdStrike's industry-leading Falcon platform with Absolute's firmware-embedded resilience, organizations can achieve an unprecedented level of security and operational continuity. This integrated solution addresses the challenges of endpoint security gaps, application failures, and downtime, providing a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity.
How It Works
- CrowdStrike Falcon provides real-time threat detection and prevention, threat intelligence, and incident response. With its advanced machine learning algorithms and behavioral analysis, Falcon detects and prevents attacks in real time, ensuring that organizations are protected against even the most sophisticated threats.
- Absolute Resilience monitors application health and automatically repairs and/or reinstalls unhealthy third-party applications to restore them to healthy operations. By leveraging Absolute's Persistence technology, which is embedded in over 600 million devices, organizations can ensure that their security applications remain healthy and operational, even in the face of failures or disruptions. If an IT or cyber incident does strike, Absolute restores affected devices back to a fully trusted and compliant state to help maintain business continuity.
Together, CrowdStrike Falcon prevents modern attacks with real-time detection and response, while Absolute guarantees that critical security controls — including Falcon itself—remain installed, healthy, and functioning as intended.
The Benefits: Building a Foundation of Continuous Cyber Resilience
While today’s threat landscape exposes the fragility of traditional endpoint security, modern cyber resilience platforms transform that fragility into strength. By ensuring critical security controls remain healthy, persistent, and recoverable, the following benefits can be realized:
- Unbreakable Resilience: Ensure that security applications remain healthy and operational, even in the face of failures or disruptions.
- Continuous Visibility: Gain uninterrupted visibility of application health and performance, as well as endpoint activity.
- Automated Recovery: Automatically repair or reinstall unhealthy applications and restore affected devices, reducing downtime and disruption.
- Improved Compliance: Ensure and prove compliance through self-healing encryption and standardization of app deployments.
These benefits of the CrowdStrike and Absolute solution lead to real-world results in maintaining secure and effective operations, such as:
- Reduced Risk: Minimize the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks with an integrated solution that provides continuous visibility, protection, and automated recovery.
- Maintain Business Continuity: Maximize staff productivity by ensuring optimal operation of business and security applications. Restore affected endpoints back to a trusted and compliant state to minimize downtime after an incident.
The Partnership
CrowdStrike stops breaches. Absolute keeps your defenses unbreakable. Together, they deliver the highest standard of endpoint protection and resilience. Overall, the joint solution can provide vast benefits for the enterprise, such as:
- Ensuring Unwavering Presence: Ensure Falcon agents remain always-on, even through reimages and OS failures.
- Eliminating Configuration Drift: Eliminate the hidden risk of configuration drift and automate continuous security enforcement.
- Enabling Rapid Recovery: Achieve recovery in minutes, not days — and maintain mission-critical protection.
