How Venn’s Secure Enclave Works The Answer to the Contractor BYOD Security Problem Most IT leaders didn’t set out to build a third-party access security problem. It happened gradually. A few remote employees started working from personal laptops. Then contractors joined from across the country — or the world. Then the request came in to get everyone productive quickly, without waiting on hardware procurement or standing up a virtual desktop environment. Now the workforce is distributed, the devices are unmanaged, and the security team is left deciding between two uncomfortable options: ship company laptops to everyone (expensive, slow, logistically painful) or deploy VDI (technically complex, […] [ How a Global Aircraft Manufacturer Secured 7,000 Remote Employees, Contractors and Suppliers – Without VDI or Issuing Laptops ](https://www.venn.com/blog/global-aircraft-manufacturer-secured-remote-employees/) ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/shutterstock_2596451273-1024x683.jpg) December 23, 2025 Blog How a Global Aircraft Manufacturer Secured 7,000 Remote Employees, Contractors and Suppliers – Without VDI or Issuing Laptops One of the world’s leading aviation manufacturers was looking for a solution to help secure remote workers all over the globe. With over 7,000 internal and supplier-based remote workers, enabling secure work on personal laptops was essential – both to control costs and to simplify IT operations, as issuing laptops across the globe was quickly ruled out due to high-cost and complexity. Previously, remote employees were faced with a patchwork of VPNs and invasive device checks to ensure compliance. This created friction when trying to empower a large contractor network while respecting personal device privacy. While a VPN helped secure […] [ Onboarding Contractors: VDI Was Drastically Delaying Productivity.

That’s When Venn Stepped in. A leading smart-home HVAC manufacturer with thousands of contractors in the field needed a way to enable their users to be as productive as possible – as quickly as possible. They also needed a way to ensure their contractor workforce wasn’t exposing the business to unnecessary risk. A virtual desktop was selected many years ago, but quickly started to show its age. Every day, users logged in from personal laptops to access the company’s legacy ERP system – an application central to building, configuring, and shipping climate-tech products to customers nationwide. With their VDI, they were quickly faced with delayed […] [ Worried about Company Data Ending Up in ChatGPT Atlas?

The logic made sense: put everything in a centralized virtual desktop, control the environment, and your endpoints become largely irrelevant. But that logic was built for a different era of work; one where most employees used company-issued devices, worked from fixed locations, and didn’t need to share a laptop with four other people across six time zones. This blog is a summary of our eBook, “VDI Challenges for a Secure Remote Workforce.” VDI Was Never Designed for This Today’s distributed workforce looks nothing like […] [ We Kept Hearing the Same Complaint.

The Solution Was Re-Auth. There’s a version of product management where you build things because they’re technically impressive, or because they fit neatly into your roadmap, or because a big customer asked for them. That version is tempting. It’s also usually wrong. The best features start somewhere simpler: you found out your product was adding friction to someone’s morning instead of removing it. Start With the Problem. Always. When we set out to build Venn’s new re-authentication feature – what we internally call re-auth – we didn’t start with a technical spec. We started with a pattern we kept hearing from our users.

The HIPAA Security Rule – the regulation that sets the bar for protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI) – is in the middle of its most significant proposed update in over a decade. And the gap most organizations haven’t addressed sits right at the endpoint: personal laptops, contractor devices, and unmanaged machines that have been accessing patient data for years without meeting the new standard. The proposed update, published in January 2025 and expected to be finalized around May 2026, would eliminate […] [ The Future Is Local: Why Securing Remote Work Means Moving Beyond VDI ](https://www.venn.com/?post_type=blog&p=5904) ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/end-to-end-data-protection-shorter-1024x644.png) April 14, 2026 Blog The Future Is Local: Why Securing Remote Work Means Moving Beyond VDI The company-issued laptop is going the way of the company-issued cell phone. Many people already use personal devices for work, and that number is only climbing. But as BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device) becomes the norm, most organizations are still trying to secure it with tools built for a different era. This blog is a summary of our eBook, “The Future Is Local: Embracing a Modern Alternative to Legacy VDI for Securing Remote Workers.” Work Has Changed. VDI Has Not. VDI made sense when most employees worked from a single Windows desktop, inside the office, on a managed device that never left the […] [ Why VDI is Dead: A Eulogy for Legacy Remote Work Infrastructure ](https://www.venn.com/blog/why-vdi-is-dead/) ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/shutterstock_2750331517-1024x683.jpg) April 14, 2026 Blog Why VDI is Dead: A Eulogy for Legacy Remote Work Infrastructure IT teams have spent years managing the sprawling infrastructure that VDI demands: the servers, the licensing costs, the endless patching cycles, the performance complaints. And yet, many organizations are still holding on. This blog is a summary of our eBook, “VDI is Dead: A Eulogy,” which makes the case that the era of virtual desktops is over, and lays out a blueprint for what comes next. VDI Had Its Moment When VDI emerged in the early 2000s, the pitch was compelling: centralized control, simplified device management, and secure remote access from anywhere. For a world built around managed endpoints and […] [ How to Secure AI Apps for Remote Workforces (Without Blocking Productivity) ](https://www.venn.com/blog/how-to-secure-ai-apps-for-remote-workforces-without-blocking-productivity/) ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/shutterstock_2722338321-1024x683.jpg) April 10, 2026 Blog How to Secure AI Apps for Remote Workforces (Without Blocking Productivity) Your remote workforce is already using AI apps. The question isn’t whether to allow it — it’s whether you have any control over which apps can access company data, and which ones can’t. That distinction matters more than most organizations realize. According to research tracking shadow AI adoption, nearly half of all employees now access AI tools through personal or unmanaged accounts, outside any enterprise oversight. The average cost of a data breach tied to unauthorized AI use has reached $4.2 million — a figure that reflects not just the breach itself, but the compliance exposure, legal liability, and reputational […] [ Forrester Just Retired Endpoint Security. Here’s What That Means for BYOD ](https://www.venn.com/blog/forrester-just-retired-endpoint-security-heres-what-that-means-for-byod/) ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/shutterstock_2692319145-1024x683.jpg) April 1, 2026 Blog Forrester Just Retired Endpoint Security. Here’s What That Means for BYOD In February 2026, Forrester announced it was retiring The Forrester Wave™: Endpoint Security – a market evaluation it had published under various names for over a decade. The reason: EPP (endpoint protection platform) and EDR (endpoint detection and response) have converged to the point where evaluating them separately no longer serves enterprise buyers. Vendors that once competed across two product categories now deliver both functions in a single offering, and the differences at the core are, in Forrester’s own assessment, negligible. That’s a meaningful market signal. But the bigger story isn’t the convergence of EPP and EDR. The bigger story […] [ What Is Blue Border™?

Sometimes, the greater risk sits in the control layer above it. Stryker said it experienced a global network disruption in its Microsoft environment as a result of a cyberattack, that it had no indication of ransomware or malware, and that it believed the incident was contained. It also said the event was limited to its internal Microsoft environment and did not affect its products.
