In today’s challenging digital environment, organizations face relentless threats that can cripple operations and lead to significant financial loss. Absolute Security’s newly launched Rehydrate offers a powerful solution, enabling businesses to remotely restore compromised endpoints at scale, often in under 30 minutes. This capability dramatically reduces downtime and helps maintain operational continuity even during severe cyber incidents.
When Windows PCs are rendered inoperable due to ransomware, security breaches, or system failures, Rehydrate automates the recovery process. With a single click, IT teams can return affected devices to a fully functional state without requiring physical access. This is especially critical for organizations with distributed or hybrid workforces, where rapid response is essential.
Built on the Absolute Resilience platform, which is embedded in the firmware of over 600 million devices through OEM partnerships, Rehydrate operates even when the operating system or other security tools have failed. Its deep-level firmware integration allows restoration from conditions where traditional recovery methods would be ineffective.
Key features of Rehydrate include near-instant endpoint restoration through a remote, one-click process. IT teams can execute customized recovery playbooks, from targeted fixes to full OS reinstalls, across entire device fleets. Once systems are back online, the tool automatically reinstalls critical security controls, ensuring devices return to a compliant and secure state swiftly.
The solution is designed for seamless integration within the Absolute Secure Endpoint product family, offering straightforward deployment directly from the management console. Support for both WiFi and Ethernet connections allows remote and mobile employees to initiate recovery without returning devices to central IT locations.
Additionally, strengthened authentication aligned with modern security standards, including Trusted Platform Module (TPM) support, further secures the restoration process. This end-to-end approach not only accelerates recovery but also reinforces defense mechanisms against future threats.
Industry experts emphasize the growing need for such resilient solutions. With cyber incidents and software failures costing organizations over a trillion dollars annually, the ability to rapidly restore operations has become a top priority for security leaders. Tools like Rehydrate represent a strategic shift toward building continuity into every layer of digital infrastructure, from endpoints to the cloud.
