Absolute + Verizon: Optimized Secure Remote Access
Verizon secures the connection to the network. Absolute secures the connection to the app, wherever teams work.
Verizon connects. Absolute keeps the session resilient.
Verizon delivers the network: nationwide 5G and LTE, Frontline priority, a dedicated slice for first responders, and security built into the network itself. Absolute Secure Access® adds zero trust from the device to the application, and keeps every app session intact as connections switch between 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi, so a network change never becomes downtime.
How Absolute and Verizon work better together
MDM manages the device, identity tools verify the user, and Verizon secures the network. Absolute Secure Access keeps each app session alive and protected while as the network underneath changes throughout the day.
MDM keeps devices configured. Secure Access keeps their apps connected, with sessions that hold through 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi changes.
Identity tools verify the user. Secure Access checks every request against dozens of contextual signals, on the device and throughout the connection.
Protection follows workers onto hotel, depot, and client Wi-Fi, with 70+ dashboards showing performance where IT has no view today.
Absolute Edge restricts unsanctioned AI on the web and in AI apps installed on devices, keeping sensitive data out of shadow AI.
Keep every app connected when the network changes
Secure Access isolates each tunneled app from changes in the underlying wireless network, so sessions hold as devices move between 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi or wake from sleep. Absolute Network Resilience™ optimizes traffic on weak signals, one login lasts all day, and teams can move from VPN to zero trust without an infrastructure overhaul.
Stop risky AI and web use before data leaves the device
Absolute Edge adds web reputation protection and inline CASB that restrict risky sites, shadow IT, and unsanctioned AI, plus 70+ dashboards and AI Threat Insights in SaaS deployments. Absolute Enterprise adds a full secure web gateway, data loss prevention, and endpoint compliance that can flag missing devices, freeze at-risk devices on demand, and keep your organization safe and healthy.
Mapped to the Cyber Resilience Framework
Gartner's model for building cyber resilience — anticipate, withstand, recover, and adapt — maps to how Verizon and Absolute keep mobile teams connected and protected.
Anticipate
Verizon's network visibility and threat intelligence, including its Data Breach Investigations Report, help teams see attacks coming.
AI Threat Insights baselines each customer’s traffic and automatically flags anomalies like data exfiltration and port scans before they spread.
Network-level threat intelligence meets device-level behavior analytics, delivering proactive alerts before admins have to search forensically.
Withstand
Frontline priority and pre-emption, plus the Frontline Network Slice, keep first responder traffic moving during congestion.
Tunnel and session resilience keeps apps running through dead zones and network changes, and the Windows client repairs itself if tampered with.
Verizon keeps capacity available and Absolute keeps the session intact, so a congested moment doesn't become lost work.
Recover
When 5G Ultra-Wideband is congested, Frontline users automatically fall back to 4G LTE with priority and pre-emption intact.
As networks change, the tunnel stays up and sessions continue on the best available path with no re-logins, restarted apps, or re-entered data.
Verizon fails over the network and Absolute holds the session, so work picks up where it left off.
Adapt
Verizon keeps advancing its network, from 5G standalone and network slicing to new mission-critical services.
Insights for Network keeps 90 days of user, device, network, and app data to guide policy, planning, and troubleshooting.
Pair Verizon's network advances with Absolute's connection data to tune policies before the next surge.

Wi-Fi drops mid-visit. Here's what happens next.
The home Wi-Fi drops
A home health nurse is charting a patient visit when the home Wi-Fi drops mid-entry.
The session moves to Verizon 5G
Secure Access shifts the session to Verizon 5G without closing the app or asking her to sign in again.
Protected on every network
Zero trust policy follows her, allowing only approved apps and re-checking credentials on unfamiliar networks.
Chart saved, no call to IT
The visit note syncs, and IT can review the connection in Insights for Network if anything looks off.
Scenario: a home health nurse charting on the road
No lost notes, no re-login
The new risks following your mobile workforce
Absolute's 2026 research with 1,000 CISOs shows AI and identity risks now travel with every worker, and governance is struggling to keep up. Protection has to be enforced on the device, wherever it connects.
Frequently asked questions
How Absolute works on the Pax8 Marketplace and with the tools Pax8 partners already deploy.
Yes. It's the same proven, self-healing Secure Access technology Verizon business and public sector customers have relied on for years. Only the name and packaging have changed, and a new Absolute Enterprise edition adds a full secure web gateway and endpoint compliance.
MDM manages devices, identity tools verify users, and Verizon secures its network. Secure Access keeps each app session alive through network changes and enforces zero trust on the device, across Verizon, Wi-Fi, and any other network.
Absolute Secure Access ensures always-on, secure connectivity for Verizon Frontline users with FIPS 140-2 encryption, network priority, and adaptive traffic optimization for mission-critical applications.
Your Verizon account team can add Absolute Core, Edge, or Enterprise and map any earlier Verizon package to its Absolute equivalent. Absolute Core is self-hosted, and Edge and Enterprise can be self-hosted or delivered as SaaS.
Absolute Core delivers the resilient tunnel, zero trust policy, a distributed firewall on every endpoint, and network access control that warns, quarantines, or remediates noncompliant devices. Absolute Edge adds 70+ dashboards, inline CASB, web reputation protection that restricts shadow AI, and AI Threat Insights in SaaS deployments. Absolute Enterprise adds a full secure web gateway with SSL/TLS inspection and data loss prevention, plus endpoint compliance that can freeze a device on demand. Comply to Connect is available in every edition when paired with Absolute Secure Endpoint.
Yes. It supports CJIS for public safety, HIPAA for healthcare, and PCI DSS for finance and insurance by enforcing encrypted, policy-based access and logging every console change. Secure Access Cloud is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant. Secure Access uses FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules. FIPS 140-2 certificates moved to Historical status on September 21, 2026, so 140-3 is now the standard for new systems.
