Confidence Risk Response
Isolate, investigate, and remediate in real time.
Absolute Confidence Risk Response provides security operations teams with the power to detect anomalous device behaviour, isolate compromised endpoints from the network in real time, and execute remote remediation actions — all without requiring physical access to the device or end-user cooperation. It is the incident response capability built directly into the device firmware.

Product Overview
Confidence Risk Response
When a security incident unfolds, every minute of dwell time compounds the blast radius. Traditional incident response workflows — raise a ticket, locate the device, gain user cooperation, dispatch IT, image the machine — are too slow for modern threat actors who can exfiltrate data, pivot laterally, and deploy ransomware within hours of initial access. Absolute Confidence Risk Response collapses this response timeline by embedding powerful remediation capabilities directly into the persistence layer of the endpoint, making them available on demand regardless of what state the device or operating system is in.
The platform enables security analysts to freeze a device's network access with a single click, blocking all outbound and inbound traffic while preserving the device's connection to the Absolute platform for continued management. Analysts can remotely wipe or delete specific files, push emergency security patches, force re-enrolment in MDM, or collect a full forensic snapshot — all without user interaction. When combined with Asset Intelligence data and configurable risk triggers, these actions can also be made conditional and automated, enabling policy-driven responses that fire the moment a device crosses a defined risk threshold.
For organisations operating across multiple African markets with geographically distributed workforces, Confidence Risk Response provides a critical safety net. A laptop detected in an unexpected country, a device accessing sensitive data at 3am, a machine with encryption suddenly disabled — each of these anomalies can trigger an automated, proportional response within seconds. The platform's detailed audit trail of every action taken ensures that incident response activities are fully documented for forensic analysis, legal proceedings, and regulatory reporting requirements.
Key Benefits
- 01
Compress incident response time from hours to seconds with firmware-anchored, network-independent remote remediation capabilities.
- 02
Contain data breach blast radius by up to 85% through immediate network isolation and selective data deletion before threat actors can pivot or exfiltrate.
- 03
Satisfy regulatory breach notification timelines with an immutable audit trail proving rapid containment and demonstrating organisational due diligence.
Core Capabilities
What Confidence Risk Response Does
Network Isolation on Demand
Instantly freeze a compromised device's network access while preserving the management channel for continued remote control and forensic work.
Remote Data Delete
Selectively delete sensitive files or perform a full secure wipe on any managed device — critical for lost, stolen, or compromised endpoints.
Policy-Driven Automated Response
Configure conditional response rules that automatically trigger isolation, deletion, or alerts when devices breach defined risk thresholds.
Forensic Evidence Collection
Capture a full system snapshot — running processes, network connections, file access logs — remotely and non-destructively for incident analysis.
Anomaly Detection & Alerting
Detect behavioural anomalies including unexpected geolocations, off-hours data access, and sudden security control degradation with configurable alerts.
Full Audit Trail
Every remote action is time-stamped, attributed, and logged in an immutable audit trail suitable for legal proceedings and regulatory reporting.
Real-World Applications
Industry Use Cases
See how organisations across sectors are deploying Confidence Risk Response to solve their most critical security challenges.
Banking & Finance
A commercial bank's SOC detects an employee laptop attempting to exfiltrate customer records. Within 45 seconds of alert firing, the device is network-isolated and forensic snapshot captured, containing the incident before any data leaves the organisation.
Mining & Resources
A mining conglomerate remotely wipes a lost site supervisor laptop containing geological survey data before it can be recovered and monetised by a competitor, protecting intellectual property worth millions.
Government & Defence
A government ministry uses policy-based automation to instantly isolate any classified workstation that loses its encryption agent or is detected outside approved geographic boundaries, enforcing zero-tolerance data security without manual SOC intervention.
Logistics & Supply Chain
A logistics company automatically network-isolates delivery driver tablets that show signs of malware infection during route execution, preventing lateral movement into back-office systems while drivers complete their deliveries uninterrupted.
