[Book Your Demo ](https://www.venn.com/request-a-demo/) [Launch Interactive Tour](https://www.venn.com/resources/interactive-tours/) ## Secure Enclave Technology. Directly on the Endpoint Blue Border™ installs a lightweight agent on any PC or Mac and creates a secure enclave — no virtual machine, no remote session, no backend infrastructure. Work apps run natively inside the secure enclave where DLP, exfiltration and policy-based access controls are enforced. Any action to move data outside Blue Border™ like clipboard, file transfers, screen capture, AI tool access – is strictly prohibited. Personal activity outside Blue Border™ stays completely private. IT controls the work environment. Users keep their machine. ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/blue-border-image-scaled.jpg) ## Blue Border™ - Approved AI tools only - Company apps and data - DLP + clipboard control - Audit logs and visibility - Governed across all devices **VS** ## Personal Side (Untouched) - Personal AI tools (ChatGPT, etc.) - Personal files and email - No IT monitoring or intrusion - User privacy fully preserved - Work and personal stay separate ## Control Which AI Tools Can Touch Your Company Data Blue Border™ allows IT to define which AI tools are authorized to interact with company applications and data inside the secure enclave. AI tools outside Blue Border™ are blocked from accessing protected information, even if they are running locally on the device. This gives organizations a practical way to enable approved AI use while maintaining control over data handling, access paths, and policy enforcement on any unmanaged or BYOD PC or Mac. ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/step-inside-blue-border-2025-868x1024.png) ## Powered by Blue Border™. Securing Remote and BYOD Workforces - **Runs on Any Device** – Isolates work apps and data locally on the endpoint, keeping corporate access fully governed without touching personal files or activity. - **Zero Lag, Zero Latency** – Eliminates the performance complexity of VDI/DaaS by letting users work natively on their own machines. - **Compliance-Ready Controls** – Apply precise policy, data protection, and audit enforcement controls that meets strict regulatory standards.

While users are working inside Blue Border™, they are under corporate governance policies – but for all personal activity – they are not. For apps not running inside Blue Border™, all activity remains 100% private. Users can seamlessly toggle between work and personal activity on the same device. ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/blue-border-graphic.png) ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/simplified-admin.jpg) ### 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, so you always know where, when, and from what device a user accessed an app or sensitive data. ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/local-applications-unencumbered.jpg) ### 100% Application Performance 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. ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/built-in-privacy.jpg) ### 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. Blue Border™ was built with user privacy in mind. ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/winner-badge.svg) ## 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 line around the application window. That blue line means the application is running inside a secure enclave, which acts like a firewall, enforcing DLP and controlling what data can go in and out. ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/launch-blue-border.png) **Users authenticate into Venn on their unmanaged Mac or PC.** ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/blue-border-kicks-in.png) **Users launch work-sanctioned apps that run locally inside Blue Border.** ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/blue-border-acts-firewall.png) **Work apps and data are contained within a company-managed Secure Enclave.** ![](https://www.venn.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/work-comfortably.png) **All data is encrypted and corporate policies (HIPAA, FINRA, SEC, PCI, etc.) are actively enforced.** ## Full Security.
