FAQs
Persistence technology is factory-embedded into the core of most endpoint devices. Once activated, it gives you unrivalled visibility and control to confidently manage your endpoints, protect at-risk data, as well as investigate and remediate potential threats. Persistence is the only firmware-embedded solution that will survive attempts to disable it, even if the device is reimaged, the hard drive is replaced, or the firmware is updated.
Through our partnership with system manufacturers, the Persistence technology is embedded in the firmware of endpoint devices at the factory. Persistence leverages Absolute’s secure channel from the cloud-based console down to the firmware. In doing so, it maintains an always-on digital tether between device and Absolute Console, ensuring two-way communication so you can reliably query information and run actions remotely.
Persistence technology remains dormant in the firmware until the Absolute Agent is installed. Once the Absolute Agent is installed, it initiates a call to the Absolute Platform and Persistence is then activated. This means that the status of the software agent is monitored and if it is missing, a reinstallation will automatically occur.
The Absolute Chromebook Extension is deployed to users, not devices, via the Google Admin Console (GAC). To deploy the extension, organizations create Organizational Units (OU) in the GAC, assign all the applicable students to that OU, then target the extension to that OU. When those students in that OU log into a Chromebook, regardless, if it was the device that they were originally assigned, they receive the extension. For example, if a school district sets up an OU named “Grade Nine 1:1 Students”, then assigns the Absolute Chromebook Extension to that OU, all the grade nine students assigned to that OU will receive the Absolute Chromebook Extension. This is how other Chromebook extensions are also deployed, aligned with Google’s user-centric architecture.
Customers can customize dashboards by choosing from a number of visualization types (e.g., table, pie, bar, line chart, etc.), modifying the applicable time period (e.g., month, week, day, or hour), and adding targeted filters (e.g., devices, apps, users, etc.) to gather insights based on specific needs.
Examples of scenarios where leveraging filters to acquire specific device or security related information might be helpful, includes the following:
- Identify devices in Victoria, B.C. that were unencrypted between Jan 15 to Feb 15, 2022
- View versions of a specific app installed across device population (e.g., Firefox)
- Remove pre-built Windows apps (Photos) from appearing on “Applications Installed” visualization
- View IT and security insights for devices in Los Angeles only
Absolute’s Persistence®technology is embedded in the firmware of devices from 28+ leading OEMs. This built-in capability ensures an undeletable connection to every endpoint, allowing IT and security teams to monitor, manage, and protect devices—even if the OS is reinstalled, the hard drive is replaced, or security software is removed. If an endpoint is tampered with, Absolute automatically reinstalls itself, maintaining continuous security and compliance.
