3 Strategies for Securing Remote Contractors and Venn’s Alternative

Ronnie Shvueli

We recently had a conversation with our Chief Product Officer, Dvir Shapira, about the 3 strategies companies are using to secure remote contractors – and Venn’s completely new approach.

The shift toward employing contractors, offshore teams, and BPOs brings valuable flexibility but also presents significant challenges for IT leaders. Many struggle to determine the best approach to support these workers securely and efficiently. Three primary methods are prevalent: some companies allow contractors to use their own devices freely, but this can create security risks. Others ship company-provided devices worldwide, which incurs logistical difficulties, particularly when sending hardware to remote locations. The final approach is limiting contractors to company data through Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or Desktop as a Service (DaaS), a method that requires high levels of sophistication, incurs high costs, and often proves unscalable.

With the limitations and expenses of these traditional solutions, organizations are increasingly seeking alternatives that balance security with simplicity and cost-effectiveness. This demand is driving companies to explore innovative options, such as Venn’s unique model, which provides a more streamlined, secure, and scalable way to support contractors and remote workers without the complications of device management or extensive infrastructure.
