Absolute Secure Web Gateway Service Add-On
Deliver a secure browsing experience for all – desk, mobile, or hybrid workers.
Protect against online security threats and infections
Unless employees are well trained and very careful, one inadvertent click can allow threat actors to exploit an employee’s device and gain a foothold to move laterally across the corporate network. Organizations need to protect against active threats, block access to inappropriate websites, and to prevent unauthorized data egress from employees’ devices. The Absolute Secure Web Gateway Service add-on module (powered by Ericom) helps address these challenges and rounds out Absolute's Mobile Security Service Edge capabilities.

Secure Access FAQ
Absolute Secure Access is one of the company’s core product lines, which was added through the acquisition of NetMotion in July 2021. The product portfolio provides resilient network connectivity for users to securely access critical resources in the public cloud, private data centers, and on-premises. These products allow users to transition from traditional VPN to a resilient Zero Trust approach, without impairing productivity or admin controls.
Absolute Secure Access encompasses three products:
- Absolute VPN provides security and confidentiality for data in motion by means of encryption and access controls. It also offers benefits to the end user, such as making tunnel and network sessions resilient and optimizing streaming video and audio.
- Absolute ZTNA provides a software-defined perimeter via Zero Trust Network Access, creating a context-based, logical access boundary around an application or set of applications – wherever they're hosted. It shields applications from the Internet, making them invisible to unauthorized users. Access policies are enforced at the endpoint, avoiding latency and any data transgression.
- Absolute Insights for Network™ offers diagnostic and experience monitoring capabilities across endpoints and network, allowing organizations to proactively monitor, investigate, and remediate end user performance issues quickly and at scale, even on networks that are not company-owned or managed.
Absolute Secure Access packages are offered in two flavors, Absolute Core™ and Absolute Edge™ (formerly called Complete) with the included products as outlined below. Regional variations might be available.
- Absolute Core
- Absolute VPN
- Absolute Edge
- Absolute VPN
- Absolute ZTNA
- Absolute Insights for Network
