Absolute Software, a leading provider of self-healing, intelligent security solutions, has announced the launch of AbsoluteApplication Health. This new feature empowers digital enterprises to strengthen cyber resilience and boost end-user productivity with the industry’s most advanced application health monitoring capabilities.
With this latest innovation to the company’s Secure Endpoint product line, customers can monitor the health of over 2,000 commonly used Windows and Mac applications – including security controls, business and productivity tools – to ensure they are installed, running and properly configured on all devices.
Absolute’s 2023 Resilience Index reveals that on average, enterprise endpoint devices have 67 applications deployed, with 10% of these having more than 100 applications installed. In analysing 10 of the most widely deployed security tools, the report also shows seven of those 10 apps were installed and healthy on less than 80% of deployed devices, on average. In some cases, apps were only functioning correctly 47% of the time.
“Today’s digital enterprises are investing billions of dollars in mission-critical security and business tools, and we believe those applications should deliver their intended value,” said John Herrema, Chief Product officer, Absolute Software. “The complexity and fragility of endpoint applications, however, mean that all too often they are failing. And if the tool you use to monitor your other applications is subject to those same failures, then you’re really in trouble, because it’s impossible to fix what you can’t reliably see or diagnose.”
