Absolute persistence technology to be embedded
into the firmware of devices of Latin America's largest manufacturer
VANCOUVER, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Absolute®
Software Corporation (TSX: ABT), the industry standard for
persistent endpoint security and management solutions for
computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones, today announced a
partnership with Positivo Informática S.A. (Positivo), Latin America's largest computer manufacturer.
Under the terms of the agreement, Absolute persistence technology –
which can endure operating system wipes, hard drive reformats as
well as hard drive replacements – will be embedded into the
firmware of Positivo devices.
With Absolute persistence technology embedded into Positivo
devices at the factory, customers will benefit from a persistent
connection to each device regardless of user or location. This
allows customers to reliably monitor and secure devices on or off
the corporate network so they can take proactive steps in
mitigating the potential risk of a data breach. And in the event a
computer is stolen, the Absolute Investigations team will work
closely with local law enforcement to assist in the investigation
and recovery of the device. The Investigations team has recovered
more than 30,000 devices from over 108 countries.
"Positivo is one the world's largest computer manufacturers and
their presence in Latin America is
well recognized," said Geoff Haydon,
CEO at Absolute Software. "This partnership gives us the
opportunity to bring our technology and comprehensive security
solutions to a priority market, working with a respected
manufacturer to grow our presence in this strategic region."
