Equips IT and Security teams to easily check the health of endpoint security agents, locate and lock devices, and protect sensitive data while on the go
VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Absolute® (ABT.TO), a leader in Endpoint Resilience™ solutions, today announced the launch of its new Absolute Control® mobile app, designed to help customers secure endpoint devices and protect sensitive data while on the go.

The mobile app can be downloaded to iOS or Android devices, and is available to existing customers1 at no additional cost.
