Absolute Security Adds Linux Support, Keeping the Foundation of Enterprise AI Visible and Under Control

Extending the Absolute Autonomous Cyber Resilience Platform to Linux Gives Customers a Single Agent and Console to Manage all Major Operating Systems that Underpin Enterprise AI

SEATTLE & BARCELONA, Spain--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Absolute Security today announced that the Absolute Autonomous Cyber Resilience platform now supports the broadest range of AI endpoint devices in use by public and private sector organizations today, spanning Windows, Chrome, Mac, and now — Linux. With Absolute, security and IT leaders can use a single agent and console to extend full visibility and control over all their AI devices, help ensure their security controls remain operational, protect them from risk, and enable fast recovery following cyberattacks and disruptions.

Frontier AI now dominates the global business and threat landscape. To remain competitive, organizations must integrate AI into every technology layer and process, while taking all steps necessary to remain secure, compliant, and operational in the face of AI-powered threats and complexity. As AI-initiatives expand, more organizations are choosing Linux for the stability and flexibility it provides within specialized environments that rely on open-source software. Expanded Linux use has led threat actors to increasingly target devices running this OS,¹ forcing security and IT leaders to prioritize defense, risk, compliance, and recovery efforts across deployments.

“In today’s threat landscape and with AI moving critical workloads and data to endpoints of all OS types, no organization can allow any of their devices to go unmanaged. Without continuous visibility, control, and remediation, unmanaged devices are incidents just waiting to happen,” said John Herrema, Chief Product Officer at Absolute Security. “With a firmware-embedded presence in 600 million endpoints and now support for Linux, Absolute Security continues to provide the most comprehensive security and operational resilience capabilities across all the endpoints that power AI-driven productivity.”

Support for Linux is available to Absolute Secure Endpoint customers on supported Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) workstation distributions. With this release, Absolute Secure Endpoint on Linux adds two new capabilities: device inventory through hardware data collection, and device freeze, available on demand or on a schedule for both online and offline machines. Patching, remediation, and automation are also available on Linux through select Secure Endpoint tiers.
