Resilient Government Cybersecurity Solutions for Mission Continuity
Protect sensitive public data, support continuous compliance with government frameworks, and maintain mission continuity with self-healing cyber resilience built into the device itself.
Securing distributed government operations
In government IT, you aren’t just protecting office networks — you’re safeguarding devices across agencies, field operations, and a distributed public-sector workforce, from federal facilities to patrol vehicles and remote inspection sites.
Most traditional security tools fail the moment a device leaves the network, an agent stops reporting, or a control is disabled. When government systems go offline, public services stall and public trust erodes. Cyber incidents targeting agencies are inevitable — mission disruption should not be. To keep your agency operational, you must overcome three critical challenges:
- Ransomware & Mission Disruption: Ransomware attacks lock agencies out of essential systems and halt public services. You must stop disruption in minutes to protect mission continuity, safeguard sensitive data, and preserve public trust.
- Compliance Complexities: Federal and state frameworks demand strict, provable adherence — FedRAMP, GovRAMP, NIST, FISMA, CMMC, and CJIS among them. You must guarantee and prove continuous compliance across thousands of distributed devices, even when they leave your network, so teams can operate securely without adding risk.
- Distributed Asset Control: Large, widely dispersed device fleets are difficult to see, secure, and account for. You need unbreakable endpoint visibility and control that survives loss, theft, reimaging, and tampering.
Absolute's autonomous cyber resilience platform delivers the resilience agencies need to stop mission downtime, protect mission-critical systems, and keep devices, applications, and security controls working as intended under operational stress. The result is uninterrupted service delivery and better outcomes for the citizens who rely on you.

With Absolute Security, you can…
With continuous visibility and automated reporting, you can support adherence to FedRAMP, GovRAMP, NIST, FISMA, CMMC, and CJIS requirements across your device fleet. Reduce manual effort, strengthen audit readiness, and give teams clearer evidence that sensitive public data remains protected, and systems remain operational.
And agencies can be at risk from unhealthy devices accessing sensitive information. Absolute’s Comply to Connect continuously evaluates device posture, verifying the status of disk encryption, anti-malware protection, OS versions, physical geolocation, and security application status. It reduces risk at the access point by automatically enforcing conditional policies before a device ever touches sensitive resources.
Maintain a persistent connection to every laptop and desktop, on or off your agency network, and manage every device in your fleet from a single console. Factory-embedded in device firmware by leading manufacturers, Absolute persists through OS reinstalls, hard drive replacement, and tampering attempts.
Gain complete visibility into each device’s location, security posture, and inventory, allowing you to take immediate action against threats. With critical control functions like remote data wipe, device freezing, geofencing, and automated self-healing for essential applications, your endpoints remain resilient and secure at all times.
Equip your distributed workforce — in federal offices, in the field, or on the move — with seamless, least-privilege access to mission-critical applications: a zero-trust access approach that helps enforce identity and device posture without the constant disconnects and repeated logins of legacy VPNs. Enforce comply-to-connect policies to help ensure only endpoints that meet security requirements can access the corporate network and mission-critical applications.
Our secure, optimized tunnel, built specifically for modern workforce mobility, delivers reliable connectivity even across intermittent coverage. Advanced diagnostics ensure optimal, streamlined, and secure digital experiences that don’t result in help desk calls or downtime. Keep personnel connected, productive, and focused on the mission.
Stop disruption in minutes, not hours or days, when facing ransomware attacks. Our self-healing endpoint security automatically restores mission-critical applications to a trusted, operational state, delivering true cyber resilience and continuity of government services.
Boost your ransomware preparedness and accelerate ransomware recovery: freeze compromised endpoints, assess the damage, and rapidly restore systems to a trusted state; government ransomware protection that minimizes impact on essential public services.
Protect public trust and keep mission-critical operations running: A reality check for government IT
Government IT teams spend their days serving the tools — patching agents, chasing disconnected devices, rebuilding broken controls — instead of serving the mission.
Shift from maintaining security to guaranteeing it, with resilience embedded at the firmware level.
- Application Self-Healing: Automatically repair or reinstall critical public-sector applications and security controls if they fail or are tampered with.
- Always-On Visibility: Track and manage devices even when they are off the network, reimaged, or their hard drive is replaced.
- Undeletable Protection: Firmware-embedded persistence survives everything short of hardware destruction, keeping critical applications running across all environments.
Stop serving the tools. Start serving the mission.

Manual compliance reporting drains resources and leaves critical gaps. In government, those gaps carry regulatory findings, funding risk, and national security exposure.
Switch to continuous, automated validation that closes compliance gaps and creates a permanent, audit-ready trail, without the manual scramble.
- Continuous Evidence Collection: Generate ongoing device and control visibility to support reporting aligned with frameworks such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, FISMA, CMMC, and CJIS.
- Automated Vulnerability Detection: Identify vulnerabilities and strengthen enforcement of security standards across the fleet.
- Automated Patching: Help keep remote and field devices updated and reduce exposure across distributed environments.
Prove compliance on demand. Move from manual headaches to automated, audit-ready security.

From IT failure to ransomware, every hour of endpoint downtime interrupts public services and compounds mission risk. Manual recovery, device shipping, and hands-on reimaging can’t keep pace.
Ensure your agency can withstand attacks and recover operational capacity immediately.
- Remote Quarantine: Freeze compromised endpoints the moment suspicious behavior is detected, protecting sensitive public data.
- Rapid Restoration: Remotely restore affected devices to a fully trusted, compliant state in minutes after outages, IT issues, or ransomware.
- Resilient Security Controls: Automatically repair or reinstall critical controls (AV, EDR, and VPN clients) if a user or malware disables them.
Absolute turns incident recovery from a weeks-long crisis into a same-day operation — so the mission continues without disruption.

What government leaders are saying
During our rollout, we discovered a huge new feature – the ability to block or allow access to specific hostnames. Rather than blocking IP addresses, we can whitelist specific sites to further control the use of our iOS devices.
Absolute offers so many tools we find very valuable. We can now see which software is loaded on a machine to determine if we’re maxing out or underutilizing software licenses. We’ve been able to transfer unused software licenses to users who need them, saving the office or division from buying additional licenses, allowing those monies to be used on other expenditures.
We were looking for an extra level of protection. We saw Absolute Secure Endpoint as an additional step in our due diligence for not only the peace of mind but the protection of our staff and students.
We had been searching for a solution like Absolute Secure Endpoint for many years. Now that we have implemented it across the organization, we’ve saved a tremendous amount of time tracking down devices while protecting the sensitive data on them. I would absolutely recommend Absolute.
