Instructions

Absolute offers multiple solutions for ensuring endpoint protection and integrity by way of Resilience, Control, and Visibility. Resilience allows an admin to specify certain applications that must always be installed on the endpoint. Absolute takes steps to either repair the application if it is not running properly, or to automatically reinstall the application if it has been removed from the endpoint. Absolute Visibility gives insights into each endpoint and provides information such as installed applications, hardware inventory, device usage, security posture such as encryption compliance and anti-virus application inventory and version information. Absolute Control allows admins to freeze or wipe a device remotely. It can also detect where the device was last detected geographically when it is turned on and can connect to the internet. These features give administrators a high-level view of the endpoints in their environment with the ability to perform multiple operations against the endpoint if needed. Absolute is controlled using policies that can be configured for different groups of endpoints in the organization. Dell endpoints that are sold with Absolute contain a BIOS setting that allows the endpoint to automatically call out to the Absolute server and reinstall the Absolute agent if the endpoint is reimaged or if the user uninstalls the Absolute agent.
