Ekran System announces its partnership with Venn, a provider of innovative solutions that secure remote work on any unmanaged or BYOD computer. Like Ekran System, Venn is recognized by many cybersecurity experts. It has also been named a Sample Vendor by Gartner.
We hope this strategic partnership will mark a significant advancement in fortifying remote work environments against emerging cybersecurity threats.
“Maintaining a robust security posture in environments where user-owned/unmanaged devices access corporate applications and data requires a dedicated BYOPC security initiative.”
Gartner, “Hype Cycle for Endpoint Security, 2023″ by Franz Hinner, Satarupa Patnaik, Eric Grenier, Nikul Patel, 1 August 2023 (Gartner subscription required)
Enhanced security for remote work environments
As remote work becomes even more widespread, organizations face risks associated with unauthorized access, insider threats, and data breaches. The Ekran System and Venn integration addresses these concerns head-on, allowing you to monitor users on BYO-PC, maintaining maximum security, while also allowing for user privacy in their personal space.
Venn is a patented software-based solution positioned as a simplified and less costly alternative to VDI or locking down PCs for securing remote work for employees, contractors, or offshore workers. Similar to an MDM solution but for laptops – work lives in a company-controlled Secure Enclave installed on the user’s PC or Mac. Simply put, Venn eliminates the need to control the entire device or provide a remotely-delivered desktop to your employees.
Ekran System is now integrated with the Venn’s Secure Enclave. It only monitors user activity for applications opened in a Venn workspace, whereas personal applications are kept private. This unique integrated solution is tailored for BYO use cases, where user privacy in their personal space is essential to reduce friction and accelerate adoption, while the workspace is being monitored as usual.
By combining Ekran System’s robust insider risk management capabilities with Venn’s Secure BYO-PC solution that protects and isolates work on any machine, you can now benefit from:
- Real-time user activity monitoring. Employ Ekran System’s advanced real-time monitoring and session recording capabilities to track and analyze all user activity within the employee’s Secure Enclave, enabling visibility and prompt threat detection, while keeping the employee’s personal space private.
- Granular access controls. Granularly manage access permissions in your Venn work environment. Ekran System lets you specify who can access sensitive resources and under what conditions, ensuring that only the right users interact with critical assets.
- Secure and private workspace on BYOD laptops. Use Ekran System to monitor only what happens inside the enclave, keeping the employee’s personal space private. Work lives in a Venn’s company-controlled Secure Enclave installed on any BYOD PC or Mac, where business activity is isolated and protected from any personal use on the same computer.
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA). Add an extra layer of security and minimize the risk of unauthorized entry. Rest assured that your organization’s assets on BYO PCs are isolated and protected from any unauthorized user on the same computer.
- Alerts and incident response. Use Ekran System’s alerts to detect and be notified of any suspicious and unauthorized activity, resulting in prompt incident response.
- Security incident investigation. Leverage Ekran System’s comprehensive audit trails, video playback, and session export functionalities to conduct detailed forensic analysis and simplify the investigation process.
- Compliance-focused features. Meet the requirements of many cybersecurity standards, laws, and regulations with Ekran System’s robust cybersecurity capabilities and Venn’s secure workspace delivery that allows your IT and security teams to govern capabilities such as copy/paste activity, screen sharing, printing, and downloading on your employees’ personal computers and your contractor’s laptops.
Employees, contractors, offshore workers. The combination of Ekran System and Venn allows companies to more confidently onboard workers on any BYOD laptop while ensuring that their workspace is secure and work can be easily monitored.
