This will give resellers access to two of the company’s security solutions: NordLayer, an ISO-certified adaptive network access security solution that helps transition businesses to SASE (Secure Access Service Edge), implement zero trust and leave outdated legacy solutions behind; and NordPass, a password manager with state-of-the-art encryption, MFA and zeroknowledge architecture. Nuvias Group and Absolute Software, a leader in self-healing endpoint and secure access solutions, are building on their partnership across the Benelux and DACH regions and in the UK, through Cloud Distribution, a Nuvias Group Company, by giving resellers across Europe access to the company’s complete portfolio of solutions, extending the trust boundary from the endpoint to the network edge.
