Absolute VPN
Built from ground up for mobility and the modern edge
An optimized tunnel to stabilize and improve connectivity

Designed with remote and mobile workers in mind to provide seamless access with dynamic and robust access controls
Always-on connectivity with Absolute Network Resilience, enabling VPN tunnel and network session resilience
Video and audio optimization delivers positive employee experience and increased productivity
Powerful policy engine with dynamic enforcement at the endpoint, eliminates chokepoints with a secure direct path to applications.
Resilient, self-healing infrastructure for cloud and on-premises deployment
Optional Secure Web Gateway Service delivers a secure browsing experience for all – desk, mobile, or hybrid users

Secure Access FAQ
Absolute Secure Access is one of the company’s core product lines, which was added through the acquisition of NetMotion in July 2021. The product portfolio provides resilient network connectivity for users to securely access critical resources in the public cloud, private data centers, and on-premises. These products allow users to transition from traditional VPN to a resilient Zero Trust approach, without impairing productivity or admin controls.
Absolute Secure Access encompasses three products:
- Absolute VPN provides security and confidentiality for data in motion by means of encryption and access controls. It also offers benefits to the end user, such as making tunnel and network sessions resilient and optimizing streaming video and audio.
- Absolute ZTNA provides a software-defined perimeter via Zero Trust Network Access, creating a context-based, logical access boundary around an application or set of applications – wherever they're hosted. It shields applications from the Internet, making them invisible to unauthorized users. Access policies are enforced at the endpoint, avoiding latency and any data transgression.
- Absolute Insights for Network™ offers diagnostic and experience monitoring capabilities across endpoints and network, allowing organizations to proactively monitor, investigate, and remediate end user performance issues quickly and at scale, even on networks that are not company-owned or managed.
Absolute Secure Access packages are offered in two flavors, Absolute Core™ and Absolute Edge™ (formerly called Complete) with the included products as outlined below. Regional variations might be available.
- Absolute Core
- Absolute VPN
- Absolute Edge
- Absolute VPN
- Absolute ZTNA
- Absolute Insights for Network
