Absolute® announced new capabilities that provide IT and Security teams with advanced insights into software and web usage across their distributed endpoint device fleets. With Absolute’s new Software Inventory and Web Usage analytics, organizations can maximize returns on software investments and find potential cost savings; help ensure employees have the tools they need to work productively and securely from anywhere; and identify potential security vulnerabilities or blind spots arising from unsanctioned, insecure apps or web content. With a firmware-embedded position in more than half a billion endpoints, Absolute enables a permanent digital tether capable of delivering unbreakable visibility and a persistent stream of data whether a device is on or off the corporate network. The latest enhancements to the Absolute Resilience® platform enable enterprise organizations to: Streamline software audits: Automatically scan for installed software applications to keep software inventory up to date, ensure optimal deployment of new apps, and monitor adoption of web-based apps. Minimize complexity and waste: Detect app version complexities and redundancies, as well as potential license excess that could drive cost savings.? Boost employee productivity: Detect use of unapproved installed or web-based apps, to minimize ‘Shadow IT’ and identify any unmet employee software needs. Surface security and compliance risks: Identify unapproved apps or versions running on corporate devices, as well as users bypassing web filters and accessing insecure web content, to help mitigate potential security and compliance risks.
