Omdia: Absolute Security’s Syxsense Acquisition Expands Resilient, Proactive Enterprise Security Capabilities
Absolute Security's acquisition of Syxsense has been analyzed in a new Omdia report, highlighting strategic advantages for enterprise security. The report emphasizes how this acquisition enhances the Absolute Resilience Platform by adding automated patch and vulnerability management capabilities to its firmware-embedded platform.
According to Omdia Senior Principal Analyst Fernando Montenegro, this move, combined with Absolute's 2021 acquisition of NetMotion, positions the company to offer an integrated platform approach for visibility, control, recovery, and proactive remediation. The enhanced platform enables customers to manage risks associated with patching, misconfigurations, and unknown IT assets, particularly important given that 70 percent of breaches are traceable to known vulnerabilities.

Insights
The strategic acquisition of Syxsense significantly enhances Absolute's competitive position in the endpoint security market. By integrating Syxsense's automated patch management and vulnerability remediation capabilities with Absolute's firmware-embedded platform, the company now offers a more comprehensive security solution that addresses critical enterprise pain points.
The timing is particularly strategic given that
From a market perspective, this move aligns with the industry trend toward platform consolidation and could potentially increase Absolute's average revenue per customer through expanded service offerings. The firmware-embedded approach provides a competitive moat that few competitors can match.
This acquisition addresses a critical gap in enterprise security architecture - the challenge of maintaining consistent patch management across distributed endpoints. The firmware-embedded approach provides persistence that traditional software-based solutions lack, which is important for maintaining security posture in remote work environments.
The integration of automated vulnerability management with existing endpoint controls creates a more resilient security framework that can significantly reduce an organization's attack surface. This is particularly valuable for enterprises struggling with patch management across large, distributed networks where manual processes are inefficient and error-prone.
The market validation from Omdia, a respected analyst firm, suggests this acquisition could positively impact Absolute's enterprise market penetration and customer retention rates. The platform approach should resonate with CISOs looking to consolidate vendors while improving security posture.
