Absolute Security Acquires FirmGuard

Absolute Security, a leader in Autonomous Cyber Resilience, today announced it has acquired Phoenix Technologies’ FirmGuard, a UEFI BIOS firmware security, management, and networking service.

FirmGuard Extends Absolute Persistence

FirmGuard extends Absolute Persistence, the patented firmware-embedded technology behind the Autonomous Cyber Resilience Platform. It adds deeper visibility, integrity verification, posture management, continuous patching, and compliance enforcement for endpoints, AI workstations, and autonomous agents.

Enterprise CISOs Need Firmware Security

Research shows firmware and hardware attacks are rising, and 80 percent of IT and security decision makers say AI will accelerate exploitation.

Firmware Security is Strategic Imperative

Because firmware boots before the OS, it is essential for management and recovery, and a prime target for attackers who can use it to evade security tools and persist undetected.

Absolute Embedded in 600 Million Devices

Through exclusive partnerships with top OEMs Dell, HP, and Lenovo, Absolute is embedded in the firmware of 600 million endpoint devices, giving customers instant activation and fast time to value.
