How it started
History
Founded in 1993 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, by Christian Cotichini and Fraser Cain, Absolute Security developed a product to manage, track and secure computers regardless of the physical location of devices. In 2000, Absolute Security became a publicly traded company on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX).
In 2005, Persistence technology patented by Absolute Security was embedded for the first time into the firmware or BIOS of Personal Computers (PCs). This was the start of an ongoing partnership with most major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) where Absolute Security technology ships with the hardware from the factory.
In 2007, Microsoft awarded Absolute Security gold certified partner status in the Microsoft Partner Ecosystem.
Absolute Security's office in Europe was first established in November 2006, in Newbury, UK. In July 2009, a second regional office was opened in Austin, Texas, to serve as a base for the company's U.S.-based sales team.
In December 2009, Absolute Security announced its acquisition of the LANrev product suite, a computer systems management software application, from Pole Position Software. Following the acquisition, the product suite was rebranded as Absolute Asset Management, and eventually renamed as Absolute Manage.
