To ensure the highest levels of endpoint security across more than 8,000 devices and to help achieve HIPAA compliance in the face of rising data breaches across the healthcare industry, Apria Healthcare leverages Absolute, the leader in endpoint resilience, for comprehensive endpoint visibility and control.

"Persistence [located] in the BIOS is the number one item that I think really sets Absolute apart from other companies touting that they can do asset tracking better," said Janet Hunt, Senior Director, IT User Support at Apria Healthcare.

Because Absolute is already embedded in the BIOS of Dell, HP, Lenovo, and 22 other leading manufacturers' devices, it provides Apria with the single source of truth needed to protect personal data and help achieve HIPAA compliance.

"The beauty is that with Absolute, I have a dashboard with a snapshot of where every device is, what type of encryption they are using, and what their current status is - and it is updated every 15 minutes," said Dave Ochoa, Manager, Information Security Operations, Apria Healthcare.

"Absolute is proud to support the security of a healthcare organization that is so committed to protecting sensitive data and ensuring compliance," said Sean Maxwell, Chief Commercial Officer, Absolute.
