Ekran System Announces Integration with Venn to Enhance Remote Work Security

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 ever 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, creating a secure and efficient remote work environment for organizations of all sizes.

Venn is a patented software-based solution positioned as a cost-effective way to secure your organization’s remote workplace. Unlike other VDI solutions, Venn can isolate work applications running directly on the employee’s local computer. 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 app launcher. It only monitors user activity for applications opened in a Venn workspace, whereas personal applications are isolated. This integration offers enhanced security features and user privacy tailored to the unique demands of remote work.

By combining Ekran System’s robust insider risk management capabilities with Venn’s ability to control only the applications that really matter, i.e. work applications, 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 work applications, enabling visibility and prompt threat detection.
• 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.
• 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. Venn’s configurable settings also allow your security officers to govern capabilities such as copy/paste activity, screen sharing, printing, and downloading on your employees’ PCs.
• 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.
