By turning on this capability, these customers' IT teams can ensure uninterrupted remote access to corporate networks, business applications and data for remote workers amid the global coronavirus outbreak.

"As we hear from customers globally that they are encouraging more employees and/or students to work and study remotely, never has there been a more critical time for ensuring security controls remain installed and effective," said Christy Wyatt, President and CEO at Absolute.

"Enabling our customers to reinstall and recover VPN applications allows them, in turn, to enable employees with secure, simple access to the sensitive applications and data required to do their jobs, wherever they are working and maintain business continuity and their ability to take care of their customers."

In support of IT teams tasked with ensuring employee productivity, organizational security, and business continuity, Absolute is offering free access to Application Persistence for VPN for all of its Visibility and Control tier customers through August 31, 2020.

"The coronavirus outbreak will definitely lead IT organizations to look at how they are supporting remote work while there already was interest, this could act as a catalyst accelerating adoption of technologies that enable remote workers," Raúl Castañón-Martínez, senior analyst at 451 Research, recently told Computerworld.
