The Nuvias Group Extends Successful Partnership with Absolute Software Across European Territory

Absolute’s self-healing endpoint and secure access portfolio delivers ‘hybrid work-in-a-box’ for today’s distributed workforces, representing a sizeable growth opportunity for channel partners.

Woking, UK: 20/07/22 – The Nuvias Group, the European high-value distributor, is extending its collaboration with Absolute Software™, a leader in self-healing endpoint and secure access solutions, building on the successful partnership previously announced across the Benelux and DACH region and in the UK through Cloud Distribution, a Nuvias Group Company.

As part of the expansion, the Nuvias Group will access the full Absolute portfolio of solutions, from secure access to secure endpoint, enabling the ongoing shift to ‘work from anywhere’ by extending the trust boundary from the endpoint to the network edge. Channel partners have an opportunity to intercept substantial growth, as Absolute expands from a single to two-tier distribution model, offering the only endpoint security solution factory-installed by every major PC manufacturer and embedded in the firmware of over half a billion devices.

One of Absolute’s unique platform components is its patented Persistence™ technology, which assures an always-on connection to the endpoint and allows for an always-on tunnel or network session. Furthermore, this fuels its Application Persistence™ capabilities, which equip customers to ensure critical applications – such as antivirus, encryption, and VPNs – remain healthy, installed, and working effectively to protect devices and sensitive data.

This represents a significant opportunity for MSPs, especially when considering how the user experience of major communications platforms can be improved. It allows for a ‘hybrid work-in-a-box’ solution to be created that is easily consumable by businesses of all sizes, via a SaaS consumption model.

Absolute, winner of two recent Global InfoSec Awards by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), fits perfectly in the Nuvias Frontier programme, boosting channel development for innovative companies and technologies in Europe.

Achi Lewis, Area VP of EMEA at Absolute said: “Our partnership with the Nuvias Group will help boost the expansion of our operations across Europe. We recognise the power of the European channel in reaching our business audience, and we value the Nuvias Group’s technical expertise and local market knowledge to help us deliver customised and integrated solutions to customers.”

“We are excited to extend our cooperation with Absolute in what is a critical high-growth market, help scale and accelerate their channel business and provide our channel partners with a key solution to their cybersecurity stack”, David Harvey, VP, Vendor Alliances at the Nuvias Group, commented.

Woking, UK – 16th May 2022 – Armis, the leading unified asset visibility and security platform, has selected the Nuvias Group as its distributor partner for the UK and DACH markets, moving from a direct to a two-tier distribution model, to boost its growth in Europe.

Asset visibility and Operational Technology (OT) cybersecurity are particularly relevant in both the UK and DACH, where the manufacturing sector represents an important part of the overall market and the adoption of hybrid cloud and edge computing requires a new approach to securing fast expanding networks.

“We are excited about our next growth phase in the European market,” Jamie Andrews, Sr. Director, EMEA Partners at Armis said. “Nuvias is the ideal partner to provide us with the market intelligence and reach as well as the technology expertise to make this a success”.
