Absolute Edge
The best user experience for the software-defined perimeter
Embrace a Zero Trust approach
Many organizations have started to embrace a Zero Trust approach and are considering augmenting their conventional network access security concepts such as enterprise virtual private networks (VPNs), with Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions. Absolute ZTNA, delivered as part of the Absolute Edge™ product package, stands out in a crowded field.

Absolute AI Threat Insights for Proactive Alerts!
AI Threat Insights is included with Secure Access Enterprise! Using AI and multidimensional machine learning, it offers proactive alerts of over 50 indicators of suspicious user, device, network, and application activity to IT admins before those issues become problems.
Stay resilient with Absolute ZTNA
Threat detection and prevention
- Ensure uninterrupted secure access, no matter where your employees do their work with the world’s first self-healing ZTNA solution from Absolute.
- The self-healing Secure Access client for Windows can automatically repair or reinstall itself if tampered with, accidentally removed, or otherwise stops working.
- ZTNA policy actions strengthen the foundation of your Zero Trust security posture, bolstering the protection for employees and restricting lateral movement through your network.
- Optionally, scan for the presence of malware, including worms, Trojan horses, and spyware.
Secure and optimized remote access
Secure application access
- Applications are made invisible to unsanctioned users, ensuring your organization is safe from intruders or high-risk connections. Control access to the Web, as well as private and public cloud applications based on risk and compliance requirements associated with a multitude of contextual factors like time of day, user, device’s security posture, geolocation, network connection, etc.
- Control access to the Web and cloud applications based on risk, including contextual factors like time of day, user, device security posture, geolocation, network connection, etc.
- Enforce consistent policies for all user access - in the office, on the road, and at home - by applying Zero Trust Network Access principles.
- Optionally, block malware (including zero-day threats) from reaching endpoints and networks by rendering websites in isolated containers located on remote servers far from the endpoint.
- App Connectors allow seamless connectivity to public/private clouds and data centers, ensuring an end-to-end Zero Trust secure connection from device to application.
Enforcing dynamic policies at the endpoint
Mobile-friendly
- Dynamic ZTNA policies are enforced as closely as possible to the end user, meaning at the endpoint. This eliminates chokepoints as well as protects device data and meets the most advanced NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture recommendations.
- On-premises to cloud doesn’t happen overnight. Neither does full Zero Trust. Absolute is the only vendor to provide a world-class VPN and ZTNA solution as part of its platform, allowing for rapid or gradual ZTNA adoption.

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 an optimized, secure tunnel to a resilient Zero Trust approach, without impairing productivity or admin controls.
Absolute Secure Access encompasses these products:
- Absolute Core 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 Edge 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 Enterprise is a converged, resilient cloud-native SSE platform that includes Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Private Access (ZTNA), Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) into a single platform. It also includes proactive anomaly detection (AI Threat Insights) and over 70+ dashboards of user, device, network, and application behavior (Insights for Network) as well as Endpoint Compliance that gives administrators additional visibility, control, and resilience over user devices.
- 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 three flavors: Absolute Core™, Absolute Edge ™, and Absolute Enterprise with the included products and capabilities as outlined below. Regional variations might be available.
