Absolute Security has garnered recognition from the 2025 GigaOm Radar for Patch Management Solutions, distinguishing itself as the singular provider listed as both a Leader and Outperformer. Renowned Cybersecurity Analyst Stan Wisseman honored Absolute Security with Superior and Exceptional ratings for its robust platform.
This platform is instrumental for enterprises, Managed Services Providers (MSPs), and Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs), empowering them to tackle essential patch management scenarios through a unified, automated, and resilient solution.
Secure Endpoint Product Suite
The GigaOm Radar emphasizes Absolute Security’s unique approach to patch management, particularly through its advanced Absolute Resilience for Automation edition within the Secure Endpoint integrated product suite.
This solution merges automated remediation, patch orchestration, and endpoint visibility with firmware-embedded persistence. This patented technology ensures a tamper-proof device connection, even after OS corruption, reimaging, or a factory reset. It is particularly beneficial in distributed, hybrid, and high-security environments where continuous control is vital.
Addressing Software Security Risks
Absolute Security provides customers with tools to automate patching and vulnerability remediation
The Absolute Security Resilience Risk Index 2025 reveals that many organizations delay patching by an average of 56 days, exceeding the 30-day norm advocated by groups such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
This delay places organizations at risk since threat actors can exploit vulnerabilities within one to seven days. Absolute Security provides customers with tools to automate patching and vulnerability remediation across extensive endpoint networks, effectively mitigating security risks and minimizing productivity and downtime losses.
Mitigating Vulnerable Software Exploits
“Threat actors know the fastest and easiest way to breach systems, steal data, and disrupt business operations is by taking advantage of vulnerable software,” stated Ashley Leonard, SVP of Product Management at Absolute Security.
“The best way to stop downtime is to avoid exposure in the first place—a key element of any resilience strategy. With this validation from GigaOm, customers are further assured that Absolute Security’s resilient and automated patching and remediation solution is helping them to proactively stay ahead of threats, incidents, or outages.”
Key Features of Absolute Security’s Patch Management Solution
The GigaOm Radar highlights several features that earned Absolute Security leadership status:
- Staged Patch Testing and Deployment: Effectively mitigates risk through staged patch rollouts with rollback logic and dynamic health checks. Real-time telemetry is used to confirm patch status and trigger fallback actions when necessary.
- Policy Automation and Customization: Incorporates attributes such as device role, compliance posture, or location into patching logic. This enables suppression of reboots, enforcement of blackout windows, and handling of exceptions. Custom risk scoring aligns patch management with organizational priorities.
- Workflow Integrations: Offers extensive integrations with platforms like ServiceNow, ConnectWise, and CMDBs via a bidirectional public API. These integrations facilitate SLA tracking, approval processes, and incident response coordination, bridging IT and SecOps workflows to decrease mean time to remediation (MTTR).
Absolute Security, a pioneer in enterprise cyber resilience, announced it is the only provider named as both a Leader and Outperformer in the 2025 GigaOm Radar for Patch Management Solutions.
In the report, Cybersecurity Analyst Stan Wisseman recognized Absolute Security with both Superior and Exceptional ratings for its platform that delivers a unified, automated, and resilient solution used by enterprises, Managed Services Providers (MSPs), and Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs) to address critical patch management use cases.
Secure Endpoint integrated product suite
In the Radar, GigaOm highlights that “Absolute Security delivers a differentiated approach to patch management with Absolute Resilience for Automation, its most advanced edition of the Secure Endpoint integrated product suite."
"It combines automated remediation, patch orchestration, and endpoint visibility with firmware-embedded persistence, a patented capability that maintains a tamper-proof connection to devices even after OS corruption, reimaging, or factory reset. This persistent architecture is especially valuable in distributed, hybrid, and high-security environments, where continuous control is paramount.”
Software security and risk exposures
According to the Absolute Security Resilience Risk Index 2025, organizations run behind on patching an average of 56 days. Although organizations set their own patching schedules, this is well beyond the accepted 30-day standard set by organizations such as the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and dangerously outside of the one-to-seven days it takes threat actors in many cases to exploit vulnerabilities, as noted in the Index.
With Absolute Security, customers can quickly and easily automate patching and vulnerability remediation across their distributed endpoint fleets to quickly close software security and risk exposures that lead to productivity losses and lead to extended downtime.
Advantage of vulnerable software
“Threat actors know the fastest and easiest way to breach systems, steal data, and disrupt business operations is by taking advantage of vulnerable software,” said Ashley Leonard, SVP, Product Management, Absolute Security.
“The best way to stop downtime is to avoid exposure in the first place—a key element of any resilience strategy. With this validation from GigaOm, customers are further assured that Absolute Security’s resilient and automated patching and remediation solution is helping them to proactively stay ahead of threats, incidents, our outages.”
Absolute Security patch management solution
According to the Radar, the Absolute Security patch management solution earned leadership status based on several key differentiators:
- Staged Patch Testing and Deployment: GigaOm recognized Absolute Security’s capabilities that offer staged patch rollouts with rollback logic and dynamic health checks to reduce risk prior to full deployment. In addition, real-time telemetry helps validate patch status and trigger fallback actions when required.
- Policy Automation and Customization: GigaOm highlighted Absolute Security’s patching logic that uses attributes such as device role, compliance posture, or geographic location. Policies can suppress reboots, enforce blackout windows, and handle exceptions. In addition, custom risk scoring enables IT to align patch management with their organization’s business priorities.
- Workflow Integrations: GigaOm emphasized Absolute Security’s granular integrations with platforms such as ServiceNow, ConnectWise, and CMDBs through a bidirectional public API to streamline patch operations. Integrations support SLA tracking, approval chains, and incident response handoffs—bridging IT and SecOps workflows to reduce mean time to remediation (MTTR).
