Absolute Secure Endpoint for Linux
Absolute Secure Endpoint for Linux
Linux devices often sit outside your endpoint security coverage entirely. See how Absolute closes that gap with device inventory and remote Device Freeze, in the same console you already use.
Closing the Linux Blind Spot
Linux devices are a growing part of the modern enterprise, spanning engineering workstations, field devices, and other specialized endpoints — but most endpoint security tools offer little or no Linux support. Even standard enterprise Linux distributions have historically lacked the same built-in management and security capabilities IT teams already rely on for Windows and Mac, leaving a device that’s lost, stolen, compromised, or out of compliance with no reliable way to respond.
Absolute Secure Endpoint for Linux closes that gap. It brings supported distributions into the same console, policies, and reporting as the rest of your fleet, so Linux is no longer the device type IT can’t see or act on.
Key Highlights:
- Gain visibility into your Linux estate through a single console to manage devices and identify non-compliance.
- Remotely freeze a lost, stolen, or non-compliant Linux device, on demand or on a schedule, without needing physical access.
- Run patching, remediation, and automated vulnerability workflows on supported Linux devices.
- Manage Linux devices from the same console, policies, and reporting as the rest of your fleet.
- Close a long-standing visibility gap that leaves many organizations managing Linux without the tooling they rely on elsewhere.
Absolute Secure Endpoint for Linux is available across the Visibility, Control, Resilience, Resilience for Security, and Resilience for Automation editions, with feature availability varying by tier. Download the datasheet to see exactly what’s included at each level.
Absolute Secure Endpoint is one of our company’s core product lines, which leverages the unbreakable connection provided by Absolute Persistence® to enable IT and security personnel to monitor and address computers' problems and enables the computers and their mission-critical applications to self-heal. This helps with IT management, strengthening a company’s security posture, and maintaining compliance.
The Absolute Secure Endpoint product portfolio contains a variety of product packages:
- Absolute Visibility
- Absolute Control
- Absolute Resilience
- Absolute Resilience for Security
- Absolute Resilience for Automation
- Absolute Ransomware Response
Other variants, such as Absolute Resilience for Student Devices, may be offered to meet particular use cases or geographic market needs.
Absolute Control is the mid-service tier in the Absolute Secure Endpoint portfolio. Absolute Control adds to Absolute Visibility’s capabilities to control endpoints over the Internet, allowing for critical functions such as remote file deletion and data wipe, freezing devices on demand when at-risk, end user messaging, as well as establishing geo-fences and alerts.
The following capabilities are available on supported Linux distributions (see System Requirements for the full list of distributions):
- Device Inventory including Hardware Data Collection
- On-demand, scheduled and offline Freeze to secure lost, stolen of compromised Linux devices.
- Patching and automation remediation to secure Linux devices from known vulnerabilities and exposures.
Customers can easily upgrade their subscription between Absolute Core, Absolute Edge, and Absolute Enterprise. Capabilities are additive and enabled via a software license key.
