Absolute Security has acquired Syxsense, a provider of automated endpoint and vulnerability management.
With Syxsense integrated with the Absolute Cyber Resilience platform, customers will get automated vulnerability and patch management capabilities. Absolute Security’s platform ensures operating systems (OS), applications and security controls are up to date, protected against vulnerabilities and threats, and fully operational, the company said.
The combination will provide customers with endpoint security, visibility, control, connectivity, resilience and self-healing for applications and security controls.
Absolute Security to Expand, Enter Additional Markets
Absolute Security said with Syxsense, it will expand its customer base, global presence and competitive position in additional markets. It will expand into the adjacent markets of unified endpoint management (UEM) and vulnerability management, estimated to be worth a combined $35 billion by 2027. This is in addition to the estimated value of the endpoint security market of $40 billion-$50 billion.
Absolute Security’s Christy Wyatt
“Fundamental problems in applications and operating systems are continuing to cripple businesses, despite the billions of dollars spent to defend against advanced threats,” said Christy Wyatt, Absolute Security’s president and CEO. “Organizations need a modern resilience architecture to address problems before the OS even loads, something that can only be done from the device firmware, where Absolute is uniquely positioned. With the addition of Syxsense, we can bring a comprehensive set of resilience capabilities to the market. With cyber resilience reimagined, customers can now fix defects and vulnerabilities before the OS runs or applications load, preventing issues from turning into incidents. Our unique platform provides a pre-installed safety net that helps ensure compliance, integrity and recovery, even from widespread incidents involving faulty updates.”

By leveraging Absolute’s unique position in the firmware, we now can deliver the industry’s only truly resilient solution to a wider market.”
