Absolute Security Rehydrate Remotely Restores Compromised Endpoints at Scale in Minutes, Stopping Downtime Caused by Cyberattacks, Ransomware, and Software Incidents

Powered by the Absolute Resilience Platform, Embedded in the Firmware of more than 600 Million Windows PCs, this Industry-First Innovation Enables Organizations to Perform Remote, Single-Click Restoration for any Connected Windows PC

SEATTLE & LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(Fal.Con 2025) – Absolute Security, a leader in enterprise cyber resilience, today announced general availability of Rehydrate. Enterprises with business operations that have been stopped by Windows PCs made inoperable by cyberattacks, ransomware strikes, and IT incidents can use this industry-first innovation to automate the at-scale restoration of connected devices to a fully operational state, typically in 30 minutes or less—remotely and with a single click.

"Ransomware attacks, security breaches, and software failures are now a routine part of doing business. Resilient organizations are prepared for this new reality and have built-in the ability to rapidly recover and maintain operations without missing a beat when inevitable disruptions occur,” said John Herrema, Chief Product Officer, Absolute Security. “With Rehydrate, we're helping to make this possible by enabling companies to restore compromised endpoints within minutes, stopping downtime and eliminating costs that traditionally follow cyber incidents."

Rehydrate is powered by the Absolute Resilience platform, embedded in the firmware of more than 600 million Windows PCs through OEM partnerships with more than 28 of the world’s leading device manufacturers. This nearly ubiquitous availability makes it easy for customers to quickly deploy the platform across their Windows 10 and Windows 11 device fleets and activate Rehydrate to enable the immediate restoration of compromised devices at scale. Absolute Security’s unique position in the firmware allows Rehydrate to restore affected devices even when the device OS and other security or management tools have crashed, been compromised, become corrupted, or made inaccessible due to a ransomware infection.

Now generally available in the Absolute Secure Endpoint solution, Rehydrate delivers:

• Near instant business continuity endpoint restoration through a fully remote, single-click process. When your remote, mobile, and hybrid Windows PCs go down, recovery playbooks ranging from targeted remediations to full OS recovery can be executed across connected devices at enterprise scale.

• Fast return to a secure and compliant state across device fleets. After your organization has recovered from a disruption to its business, Rehydrate will automate the reinstallation of critical security controls, in minutes, helping to ensure that valuable and sensitive on-premises, cloud, and device data is defended against threats and protected against risk.

• Seamless delivery, giving stretched IT and security teams a solution that recovers endpoints remotely, rapidly, and at mass-scale to stop downtime. Full integration into the Absolute Resilience platform and Secure Endpoint product lines, including Absolute Secure Endpoint Resilience, Resilience for Automation, and Resilience for Security editions enables fast and easy deployment, direct from the Absolute Security management console.

• WiFi and Ethernet support capabilities, making it easy for remote, hybrid, and mobile employees to connect their compromised devices for rapid restoration—eliminating the need to return devices to IT and security locations for repair.

• Strengthened device authentication, aligned with modern security standards, further secures the recovery process through integrated support for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM).

"In the event of ransomware, malware, or system crashes, Absolute Rehydrate enables our company to quickly return devices to a trusted state. This rapid recovery mechanism is crucial for maintaining business continuity and minimizing the impact of cyber incidents. It also supports proactive disaster recovery planning, ensuring that endpoint restoration is not dependent on a functioning OS or network tools," said a Global Enterprise Technology Industry Customer

“Cybercrime and software failures cause disruptions that cost organizations more than a trillion dollars in losses annually,” said Jarad Carleton, Global Market Research Director for Cybersecurity, Frost & Sullivan. “CISOs are increasingly being called on to help ensure their organizations can achieve the level of resilience needed to quickly restore their operations before downtime creates a financial catastrophe. Forward-thinking leaders are adopting solutions and strategies that prioritize operational continuity into every layer of their digital infrastructure—from the endpoint to the cloud.”
