The Smarter Way to Secure Work on Any BYOD PC or Mac
Venn provides a radically simplified and less costly solution for securing remote work on any unmanaged or BYOD computer. You control the data, not the device.
The Era of the Company-issued, Work-only Computer is Coming to an End
There is a clear paradigm shift underway in today’s workforce. The expanded hiring of contractors and consultants, plus with remote work for full-time employees now a permanent fixture – many organizations are embracing the cost-savings, improved efficiency and agility of BYOD.
The history of “work” mobile phones illustrates the future for computers. BYOD will be the next era of employee computing. Instead of a work-only computer, most users will have an integrated computing life, one where work and personal computing happens on a single device. Sensitive company information will be protected, while giving workers the freedom and convenience of a single PC or Mac.
