What's New?
SCIM Integration:
SCIM integration makes it easier for IT administrators to seamlessly provision users, map roles and groups from their organization’s third-party Identity Management Platform Provider (IdP/IdM). This is particularly beneficial for Enterprise customers having a large number of users requiring access to the Absolute Console. SCIM integration requires for Single Sign-On to be active using any of the following SAML 2.0 IdPs – Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure ID), Okta and PingFederate®. SCIM integration is available through the Absolute Visibility, Control and Resilience service tiers.
Reporting of Multiple Anti-Malware Products:
The Anti-Malware report and Device Details page now list all Anti-Malware products installed on a device and identify the product that is protecting the device as registered in the Windows Security Center. This is particularly beneficial for organizations having more than one Anti-Malware product for compliance reasons or products in adjacent categories (e.g. Anti-Malware, Endpoint Protection and Endpoint Detection and Response) solving different use cases for their IT and security policies. This enhancement is available with the Absolute Visibility, Control and Resilience service tiers.
Upgraded Absolute Reach Library UI
The Absolute Reach Script Library has been upgraded offering a refreshed and modern looking user experience. You can now more easily scroll through and view Absolute defined and custom scripts, edit or delete specific custom scripts and create new scripts to be added to the library. In addition, for improved security and interoperability, all PowerShell scripts are now signed. The Absolute Reach Library is available with the Absolute Resilience service tier.
API Token Scoping:
The new API Token Scoping workflow enables IT administrators to limit the scope of public API tokens more easily and thus ensure security best practices are followed. This ensures tokens can only access features, query data and execute actions that are appropriate and necessary for their function. Token Scoping is available with the Absolute Visibility, Control and Resilience service tiers.
