What synergies exist between Absolute's self‑healing technology and CrowdStrike's existing platform capabilities?

Synergy Overview

The new partnership puts Absolute Resilience™—a suite of “self‑healing” technologies—directly into the CrowdStrike Marketplace, allowing customers to combine two complementary layers of cyber‑defense:

Specific Synergies in Practice

1. Persistent Agent Presence → Better Detection

   • Absolute ensures that the CrowdStrike Falcon agent (or any other security agent) can never be permanently removed or disabled, even after a ransomware encryption, OS reinstall, or hardware change.
     
   • Result: CrowdStrike’s detection capabilities are always “on the line,” delivering higher detection coverage and fewer blind spots.

2. Automatic Remediation of Compromised Endpoints

   • When CrowdStrike’s EDR alerts on a compromised endpoint, Absolute can instantly trigger its self‑healing workflow: reinstall missing/modified security agents, re‑apply configuration baselines, re‑establish encryption keys, and verify the restored state against a known‑good baseline.
     
   • Result: Faster containment, reduced mean‑time‑to‑recovery (MTTR), and lower operational overhead for security teams.

3. Continuous Compliance Assurance

   • Absolute provides “persistent, hardware‑rooted evidence” that security controls are present, while CrowdStrike supplies the threat‑intelligence context that drives compliance rules (e.g., “all endpoints must have the latest Falcon sensor and be compliant with CIS Benchmarks”).
     
   • Result: A unified compliance evidence trail that satisfies auditors and regulators without manual audits.

4. Unified Management & Visibility

   • Both solutions expose APIs and are designed to be integrated into a single console. Security administrators can view Absolute’s health‑status (agent presence, integrity checks) side‑by‑side with CrowdStrike’s threat alerts and response actions.
     
   • Result: Simplified operations, single pane of glass for incident response and posture management.

5. Scalable, Cloud‑Native Delivery

   • Both technologies are delivered as SaaS‑enabled services that scale with the organization’s growth. By co‑selling in the CrowdStrike Marketplace, customers can add Absolute’s resilience layer with a single click, automatically provisioning the required license and provisioning scripts that tie into CrowdStrike’s tenant‑level policies.
     
   • Result: Faster time‑to‑value, reduced procurement complexity, and consistent licensing and billing.

What the Partnership Means for Customers

• Higher Resilience: Even if an attacker disables or removes security tools, the combination of Absolute’s persistent, self‑healing technology and CrowdStrike’s detection/response engine ensures that security tools are re‑instated automatically, closing the “window of vulnerability” that often occurs after a breach.
• Reduced Operational Overhead: Security operations teams can rely on automated remediation rather than manual re‑installation, patching, or re‑configuration after each incident.
• Improved ROI: By reducing the need for manual remediation and by preventing prolonged downtime, organizations realize cost savings and better risk‑management outcomes.
• Seamless Integration: Since the solution lives inside the CrowdStrike Marketplace, organizations can quickly provision and manage the joint solution using the same authentication, billing, and policy‑management infrastructure already in place.

Bottom‑Line Answer

Absolute’s self‑healing technology and CrowdStrike’s platform complement each other perfectly: Absolute guarantees that security agents and policy settings always stay present, verifiable, and restored after any attack or system change, while CrowdStrike provides real‑time detection, threat intelligence, and response orchestration. Together they deliver continuous visibility, automatic remediation, and a unified, tamper‑evident compliance posture—providing customers with a truly resilient cyber‑defense stack that can detect, respond, and self‑heal in one integrated workflow.
