Absolute + Pax8: Cyber Resilience for Every Client Stack
Keep the tools on every client device installed and recoverable. Buy and bill Absolute through the Pax8 Marketplace.
Pax8 delivers the stack. We keep it running.
Pax8 gives partners one marketplace to discover, buy, and deploy the tools SMB clients need. Absolute Persistence® sits beneath those tools in the firmware of supported devices. Absolute Resilience keeps them installed and healthy, and Rehydrate helps restore devices when the OS fails.. The result: fewer broken-agent tickets and a stack that keeps working after it's deployed.

How Absolute and Pax8 work better together
Pax8 makes Absolute easy to buy and bill. Absolute keeps the tools in every client stack installed, enforceable, and recoverable, so you spend less time on cleanup and more on the services clients pay for.
Add Absolute to client subscriptions in the Pax8 Marketplace, with streamlined procurement and simplified billing.
Mix the Discover and Comply, Guard, Heal, and Rehydrate modules to match each client's service tier and build a premium resilience offer.
Absolute repairs critical tools like EDR, RMM and VPN when they fail, so you see fewer broken-agent tickets.
Fewer reinstalls and manual fixes mean each technician can support more client devices without adding headcount.
Add resilience to every client stack from one marketplace
Add Absolute to client subscriptions in the Pax8 Marketplace and layer Cyber Resilience as a Service on top of the EPP and EDR you already sell. Pick the edition and modules that fit each client's tier. Procurement and billing run through Pax8, so resilience scales with every client you add.
Pay down technology debt across client fleets
Broken agents, drifting controls, and unbootable devices are technology debt that slows every automated workflow. Absolute keeps endpoints reachable, self-heals critical tools, and recovers devices without a truck roll, so your services and AI agents run on endpoints you can trust.
Spend fewer technician hours reinstalling agents
Agents drift, conflict, and fail after OS updates. Absolute restores critical security and management tools automatically, so you see fewer broken-agent tickets, lower cost to serve, and more endpoints per technician.
Mapped to the Cyber Resilience Framework
Here is how Dell and Absolute map to Gartner’s Cyber Resilience Framework: anticipate, withstand, recover, and adapt. Both contribute to every phase, not just the one they lead.
Anticipate
Pax8 curates security vendors and shares market insights so partners can spot what clients will need next.
Absolute gives partners continuous visibility into device health and security posture across every client.
Partners see both the market shift and the endpoint risk behind it.
Withstand
Pax8 puts EDR, email security, backup, and identity tools in one marketplace for fast deployment.
Absolute keeps those tools installed and healthy, repairing or reinstalling them when they fail.
The stack you buy through Pax8 stays working after it's deployed.
Recover
Pax8 Professional Services support partners with client deployments and projects.
The Absolute Rehydrate module helps partners restore compromised or unbootable devices without a truck roll.
Partners recover clients faster without adding headcount or truck rolls.
Adapt
Pax8 Academy and Beyond events help partners evolve into Managed Intelligence Providers.
Absolute's fleet data and automation workflows help partners standardize and scale resilient services.
Partners build resilience into every new service they launch.

A bad update crashes client PCs. Here's what happens next.
Laptops won't boot
A faulty update leaves a client's laptops stuck on blue screens before the workday starts.
Your tech sets up recovery
In the Absolute Console, your tech assigns a recovery playbook to the affected devices and shares the passcode.
Users start recovery at boot
Each user launches the playbook at startup, enters the passcode, and connects a network cable.
Back to work, no truck roll
Devices restore to a trusted golden image without an onsite visit, and every action is logged for the client.
Scenario: Monday morning blue screens across a client fleet
Fleet recovered without a truck roll
When endpoints go down, everything built on them does
In Absolute's 2026 survey of 1,000 enterprise CISOs, 38% had endpoint ransomware that caused downtime and 15% needed a week or more to recover. Automation and AI agents are only as reliable as the endpoints beneath them.
Absolute Security brings a unique, firmware-embedded approach to endpoint resilience that complements the modern MSP stack. By bringing their value proposition to our Marketplace, we’re enabling our partners to strengthen their security offerings, reduce operational risk, and confidently support their customers in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
