NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

Venn’s Blue Border™ is a patented solution that delivers a truly revolutionary approach to enabling secure remote access – designed specifically for modern, flexible workforces that include contractors, offshore teams, and freelancers – often working on personal or unmanaged laptops. Legacy remote access solutions rely heavily on hosting and virtualization infrastructure like virtual desktops. This approach introduces friction, latency, and IT complexity that slow employees, frustrate IT teams, and increase costs. Blue Border™ reimagines VDI’s approach in that it provides secure remote access to work applications and data, but with Blue Border™, everything is secured locally on the endpoint. There is no hosting, streaming or virtualization involved – all apps and data continue to run locally.

At its core, Blue Border™ creates a company-controlled secure enclave on the user’s device, protecting and isolating business activity from any personal use on the same computer (PC or Mac). Unlike virtual desktops, Venn keeps users working locally on natively installed applications without latency – all while extending corporate firewall protection to business activity only. Within Blue Border™, IT teams can enforce customizable data loss prevention (DLP) policies and instantly remotely wipe business data if a device is lost, compromised, or a worker leaves the company. The result is a seamless balance of security, compliance, and usability, empowering employees and contractors to work efficiently from anywhere in the world, on any device.

Blue Border™ addresses key challenges faced by global teams: it eliminates the need for slow virtual desktop infrastructure, reduces dependency on shipping company-owned hardware, and minimizes operational complexity for IT teams. Customers report faster and smoother onboarding of remote workers and contractors, and a significant reduction in security risks associated with unmanaged endpoints – all at up to 40% less the cost of virtual desktops.

Beyond technical innovation, Venn demonstrates measurable business impact. Companies adopting Venn have achieved secure, compliant remote access for diverse workforces while maintaining high productivity. Leadership teams appreciate that sensitive data remains under strict control without introducing friction, making secure remote access an enabler rather than a barrier.

In a world where remote and hybrid work are the norm, and organizations are leaning more into the benefits of hiring talent all around the world, Venn sets a new standard for secure remote access. For its innovation, effectiveness, and transformative impact on organizational security and workforce flexibility, Venn is a standout candidate for the Best Secure Remote Access Solution award.
