Absolute Security Named Only Leader and Outperformer in GigaOm Radar for Patch Management

Absolute Security Speeds Patching to Help Customers Defend Against Ransomware, Protect Against Risk, and Stop Downtime Caused by Vulnerable and Fragile Software

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Absolute Security, a leader in enterprise cyber resilience, today announced it is the only provider named as both a Leader and Outperformer in the 2025 GigaOm Radar for Patch Management Solutions. In the report, Cybersecurity Analyst Stan Wisseman recognized Absolute Security with both Superior and Exceptional ratings for its platform that delivers a unified, automated, and resilient solution used by enterprises, Managed Services Providers (MSPs), and Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) to address critical patch management use cases.

In the Radar, GigaOm highlights that “Absolute Security delivers a differentiated approach to patch management with Absolute Resilience for Automation, its most advanced edition of the Secure Endpoint integrated product suite. It combines automated remediation, patch orchestration, and endpoint visibility with firmware-embedded persistence, a patented capability that maintains a tamper-proof connection to devices even after OS corruption, reimaging, or factory reset. This persistent architecture is especially valuable in distributed, hybrid, and high-security environments, where continuous control is paramount.”

According to the Absolute Security Resilience Risk Index 2025, organizations run behind on patching an average of 56 days. Although organizations set their own patching schedules, this is well beyond the accepted 30-day standard set by organizations such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and dangerously outside of the one-to-seven days it takes threat actors in many cases to exploit vulnerabilities, as noted in the Index. With Absolute Security, customers can quickly and easily automate patching and vulnerability remediation across their distributed endpoint fleets to quickly close software security and risk exposures that lead to productivity losses and lead to extended downtime.

“Threat actors know the fastest and easiest way to breach systems, steal data, and disrupt business operations is by taking advantage of vulnerable software,” said Ashley Leonard, SVP, Product Management, Absolute Security. “The best way to stop downtime is to avoid exposure in the first place—a key element of any resilience strategy. With this validation from GigaOm, customers are further assured that Absolute Security’s resilient and automated patching and remediation solution is helping them to proactively stay ahead of threats, incidents, our outages.”

According to the Radar, the Absolute Security patch management solution earned leadership status based on several key differentiators:

• Staged Patch Testing and Deployment: GigaOm recognized Absolute Security’s capabilities that offer staged patch rollouts with rollback logic and dynamic health checks to reduce risk prior to full deployment. In addition, real-time telemetry helps validate patch status and trigger fallback actions when required.
• Policy Automation and Customization: GigaOm highlighted Absolute Security’s patching logic that uses attributes such as device role, compliance posture, or geographic location. Policies can suppress reboots, enforce blackout windows, and handle exceptions. In addition, custom risk scoring enables IT to align patch management with their organization’s business priorities.
• Workflow Integrations: GigaOm emphasized Absolute Security’s granular integrations with platforms such as ServiceNow, ConnectWise, and CMDBs through a bidirectional public API to streamline patch operations. Integrations support SLA tracking, approval chains, and incident response handoffs—bridging IT and SecOps workflows to reduce mean time to remediation (MTTR).
