Step Inside Blue BorderTM
The world’s first purpose-built technology that protects company data and applications on the personal, unmanaged, or third-party managed (BYOD) computers used by contractors and remote employees.
Secure BYOD. 100% App Performance. Zero VDI Complexity.
Legacy solutions like VDI are expensive, complex, and frustrating – plagued by high costs, poor performance, and a poor user experience. That is why Venn built something better.
Instead of hosting a virtual desktop, Blue Border™ creates a company-controlled Secure Enclave directly on the user’s PC or Mac – isolating business apps and data from anything personal on the same machine. Work apps continue to run locally, delivering 100% native performance with no lag or no latency. IT maintains control without managing the entire device or forcing users to work in a remotely hosted environment. It’s secure BYOD, minus the VDI headaches.
What Happens in Blue Border™ Stays in Blue Border™
With Venn, anything a user does inside Blue Border™ is fully protected and isolated from the rest of the device.
Just as importantly, anything a user does on the personal side of their laptop – outside Blue Border™ – is never seen, tracked, or monitored by their company or Venn. This separation preserves user privacy while giving IT complete control over corporate apps and data.
Control the Data, Not the Device
Venn’s Secure Enclave technology allows organizations to only control work applications and data – without managing the entire device.
Users can seamlessly toggle between work and personal activity on the same device, while IT enforces security and DLP policies on only the work taking place inside the Secure Enclave.
Simplified Administration
Blue Border™ does not require any backend infrastructure, so companies can onboard and offboard remote employees and contractors in minutes. Centralized administration simplifies management, offering complete visibility and control over your BYOD workforce.
With Blue Border™, you can gain real-time insights into user activity and device compliance, so you always know where, when, and from what device a user accessed an application or sensitive data.
Local Applications Run Unencumbered
Unlike virtual desktops, users work with native installed applications running locally. Blue Border™ protects any installed work-sanctioned app including Chrome, Adobe, Slack, Microsoft Office applications, web conferencing tools like Zoom and Teams, VOIP applications, CAD and design tools, SAP, custom business applications and more.
Users can seamlessly toggle between application use within Blue Border™ and their personal use. This ensures a smooth and secure user experience.
Built-In User Privacy
Venn keeps personal activity completely separate and private. Anything outside of Blue Border™ can’t be seen, tracked, or monitored by the company or Venn.
Legacy solutions like VDI or traditional device management can be frustrating for users. These solutions often lead to risky workarounds because users feel their natural workflows are being interfered with and their privacy potentially invaded. Venn’s Blue Border™ was built with user privacy in mind.
Purpose built with the highest standards
Venn was built to comply with the strictest cybersecurity standards including:
- SOC 2 Type II
- HIPAA
- SEC
- FINRA
- NAIC
- NYS DFS
- Mass 201 CMR 17.00
- CMMC
- PCI
How It Works
When a user launches a work application, Venn puts a virtual wrapper around it, visually indicated by a blue border around each application window. That work application is then running inside of the Secure Enclave, which acts like a firewall, controlling what can go in or out.
Users authenticate into Venn on their unmanaged Mac or PC.
Users launch work-sanctioned apps that run locally inside Blue Border.
Work apps and data are contained within a company-managed Secure Enclave.
Work comfortably fromAll data is encrypted and corporate policies (HIPAA, FINRA, SEC, PCI, etc.) are actively enforced.
