OS33 is the predecessor company to Venn. From 2010-2019, OS33 was the leading secure workspace solution for Registered Investments Advisors (RIAs), Broker-Dealers with independent reps, and other security and compliance-driven companies and their Managed Service Providers (MSPs). OS33’s turnkey platform served tens of thousands of users, enabling anywhere-productivity without compromising security and compliance.
By 2018, the company recognized its need to evolve in order to better support a widening array of customers looking to secure distributed workforces at scale. Software-as-a-Service adoption was advancing rapidly. Regulatory requirements were more extensive than ever, and new cybersecurity threats and challenges were emerging every day. It was clear that virtual desktops and similar remotely-hosted solutions would be challenged by this emerging new reality, and that is what inspired the beginning of Venn.
Building on over a decade of trust and technological innovation, in 2019, OS33 raised funding towards creating and launching Venn, as a new company, with an entirely new software-based approach to securing remote work. Venn continues to support its longtime OS33 customers.
Today, Venn is the first purpose-built technology for Secure BYO-PC. Venn secures remote work on any unmanaged or BYOD computer with a radically simplified and less costly solution than virtual desktops or having to lock down every PC. Similar to an MDM solution but for laptops – work lives in a company-controlled secure enclave installed on the user’s PC or Mac, where business activity is isolated and protected from any personal use on the same computer. Over 700 organizations, including Fidelity, Guardian, and Voya, trust Venn to meet FINRA, SEC, NAIC, and SOC 2 standards. Learn more at venn.com.
