VANCOUVER, British Columbia & SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Absolute Software™ (NASDAQ: ABST) (TSX: ABST) (“Absolute” or the “Company”), the only provider of self-healing, intelligent security solutions, today announced the successful completion of its acquisition by an affiliate of Crosspoint Capital Partners, LP (Crosspoint Capital), a leading private equity investment firm focused on the cybersecurity, privacy and infrastructure software markets. “ We are very excited about this acquisition and working with Crosspoint Capital to further strengthen our unique position in the market and in delivering the next generation of Resilience,” said Christy Wyatt, Absolute President and Chief Executive Officer. In the post pandemic world, assets loaded with controlled information and access privileges spend most of their time outside the security framework of corporate IT,” said Greg Clark, Managing Partner, Crosspoint Capital. “ We expect a significant shift in budget allocation to address the increased risk associated with the new work paradigm, which we believe creates a lasting tailwind for Absolute Software’s core products. Crosspoint has assembled a group of highly successful operators, investors and sector experts to partner with foundational technology companies and drive differentiated returns.
