When you launch a file, app, or website from your Venn access client, it will open in the LocalZone™, our breakthrough technology that creates a smart, secure perimeter around applications and data, enabling you to work locally with sensitive information while keeping your personal computing resources separate on the same device.
LocalZone™ Border
The LocalZone™ perimeter’s application isolation allows work and personal applications to run side-by-side in separate windows on the same device without being aware of each other. In Windows, you can open Google Chrome in LocalZone™ alongside a personal Chrome window, which you will notice in the Windows Taskbar. The work instance will display the patented LocalZone™ blue border and badge while the personal one will not.
NOTE: For macOS, you can only have one instance of an app running at a time.
This functionality can also protect work applications from malware, which will also not be able to “see” applications running in the Zone because network traffic is channeled through the Private Company Gateway.
LocalZone™ Badge
Venn is committed to protecting the privacy of employees. Venn does this by tracking work applications, files, and data. Anything that runs outside the LocalZone™ is considered personal and is not managed or monitored by the organization. The Venn platform transparently exposes all the usage it tracks about you and your activities, so you are 100% clear on what is being monitored.
Clicking the LocalZone™ badge reveals a snapshot of what your company is tracking, including the current Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policy for your organization.
