Secure Workspace Programs

SECURE WORKSPACE PROGRAM

Organizations no longer fit into legacy silos like VDI, endpoint security, or remote access, forcing a convergence that Kasm Workspaces addresses with a unified, secure workspace architecture. By delivering applications, desktops, isolated browser sessions, and AI environments via containerized, policy-controlled workspaces, Kasm aligns directly with critical enterprise technology disciplines—including DaaS, Enterprise Browsers, Cybersecurity, AI TRiSM, and Sustainable IT—without making the physical endpoint the center of the security model.

VDI COMPARISON SECTION

Cybersecurity

System fragmentation caused by managing disconnected security controls across different user types, applications, and operating systems.
Data leakage across unmanaged endpoints, horizontal movement of threats across the internal network, and the persistence of malware between user sessions.
Escalating software licensing fees for specialized endpoint agents, endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, and mobile device management (MDM) seats for temporary staff.

Traditional Cybersecurity

Traditional cybersecurity models mistakenly assume an endpoint is trustworthy enough to connect to the network, whereas Kasm reverses this assumption by introducing a Zero Trust workspace layer between the user and the resource. Rather than treating endpoint security as an isolated problem, Kasm integrates control across devices, applications, data, and identities. Sensitive applications and web interactions execute inside controlled, ephemeral workspaces that completely disappear when a session ends. This architecture drastically reduces the endpoint attack surface, enforces strict data movement controls, and safely eliminates dependence on intrusive local endpoint software for both employees and third-party contractors.

Unified Policies, Security Perimeter, Lower Financial Risk - Don't just protect the endpoint. Reduce what the endpoint is allowed to touch.

Kasm aligns directly with modern Gartner frameworks by unifying device, identity, application, and data policies into a single control point. It establishes an ironclad security perimeter using ephemeral, disposable workspaces that vanish completely upon session termination, leaving zero footprints for attackers. Kasm lowers organizational financial risk and mitigates costly data breach liabilities while simultaneously optimizing the corporate security budget.

Enterprise Workspaces

Enterprise Software-as-a-Service

The browser has become the primary interface to enterprise applications. Instead of simply securing the browser running on the endpoint, Kasm moves the browser session itself into an isolated workspace. Web activity, sensitive SaaS enterprise applications, and internal data execute safely within a temporary, disposable container, streaming only the visual experience to the end-user. This zero-trust, agentless architecture serves as a universal control point that eliminates the need for traditional VPNs giving organizations strict, policy-driven control over uploads, downloads, and clipboards—even on unmanaged or personal BYOD devices.

A flexible workspace architecture that can support employees, contractors, third parties, developers and mission-specific users.

Kasm streamlines the modern digital workplace by transforming any standard web browser into a secure portal for internal and external enterprise applications.

Implement true Zero-Trust isolation where untrusted web content is completely neutralized inside temporary, disposable workspaces before it can ever touch the perimeter. Unlock massive cost efficiencies by allowing the organization to safely implement a 100% unmanaged/BYOD policy for contractors without risking data integrity.

DaaS & VDI

Move Beyond VDI. Deliver the Workspace, Not the Infrastructure.

Traditional VDI forces organizations into rigid, complex infrastructure management. Kasm flips the model by shifting focus from the hardware to the workspace—delivering secure, containerized environments directly through any web browser. This flexible architecture natively supports Windows, Linux, and specialized workloads for employees, third-party contractors, and developers across cloud, hybrid, or air-gapped deployments. By dynamically provisioning both persistent and ephemeral sessions while integrating with existing virtualization tools, Kasm dramatically reduces endpoint dependency, enables automated scaling, and directly aligns with modern enterprise priorities surrounding compliance, data sovereignty, and AI expansion.

Security, Compliance and Sovereignty

Deliver dynamic, automated scaling across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, or air-gapped deployments without back-end complexity.

Natively accommodate strict security, compliance, and data sovereignty mandates while providing policy-controlled environments for heavy AI workloads.

Drastically lower TCO through on-demand, dynamic resource allocation that scales down automatically when users log off.

AI FRONTIER

Secure the Environment Where AI Is Used

Organizations increasingly need controls around where AI is accessed, what information users can provide, what data can leave the environment and how AI-enabled applications interact with enterprise resources. Gartner's "AI TRiSM" framework focuses on making AI governance continuous, enforceable and operational, including information governance, runtime controls, security and data protection. AI tools can be delivered through controlled workspaces rather than allowing users to connect directly from unmanaged endpoints to potentially sensitive enterprise environments.

ESG / Sustainable IT

Kasm can contribute by changing the economics and lifecycle of the endpoint:

Extend useful life of existing devices
Reduce hardware refresh dependency
Deliver applications without shipping dedicated hardware
Support BYOD and contractor scenarios
Consolidate specialized workstations
Dynamically provision access & compute instead of maintaining always-on environments
Reduce the physical distribution of application infrastructure

Complex logistics and supply chain delays tied to acquiring, preparing, and shipping high-performance physical workstations to a distributed workforce.
The security liability of old, unpatched, or end-of-life hardware being used by staff because it is too costly or logistically difficult to refresh.
The heavy financial drain of continuous 3-to-4 year device refresh cycles and the high overhead costs of logistics, shipping, and physical asset recovery.

Reduce the Hardware Footprint of the Digital Workplace.

Gartner's sustainable-IT research specifically addresses reducing the environmental impact of technology and aligning IT with organizational emissions goals. Kasm Workspaces directly advances sustainable IT objectives by changing the lifecycle and economics of hardware—making the digital workplace more sustainable by making the physical endpoint less important. By dynamically provisioning applications and heavy compute infrastructure on demand instead of maintaining always-on local environments, Kasm extends the useful life of existing devices and removes the dependency on frequent hardware refresh cycles. Organizations can seamlessly support BYOD and third-party contractor scenarios, consolidate specialized workstations, and deliver high-performance applications globally without the environmental or financial toll of shipping physical machines.

Make the workspace more sustainable by making the endpoint less important.

Streamline operations by centralizing specialized app delivery and dynamically provisioning resources only when active, eliminating waste across the enterprise. Kasm safeguards the organization by standardizing the security posture inside a modern containerized environment, ensuring data remains secure regardless of how old or weak the user's physical machine is. Substantially reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by extending current hardware lifecycles, enabling risk-free BYOD programs, and aligning IT infrastructure with corporate sustainability and ESG targets.

Desktop-as-a-Service

Prolonged delays and supply chain friction when onboarding temporary workforces, student groups, or newly acquired staff during M&A activity.
The security liability of losing track of corporate assets, managing unpatched remote hardware, or failing to reclaim laptops from departing contractors.
Over-purchasing high-cost corporate laptops for short-term workers and absorbing the steep financial losses of unreturned or broken hardware.

DaaS Doesn't Have to Mean Shipping Another Laptop

Traditional Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) remains anchored to the costly, slow cycle of physical hardware logistics—procuring, configuring, shipping, patching, and reclaiming endpoints. Kasm redefines DaaS by shifting the question from whether a user needs a corporate computer to whether they simply need a secure workspace. By transforming any existing personal or third-party machine into a secure access device, Kasm streams controlled, isolated workspaces via the web browser. This approach is highly effective for rapidly onboarding contractors, seasonal workers, government agencies, student cohorts, and teams navigating fast-moving M&A activities without the burden of physical hardware.

Kasm can turn an existing endpoint into a secure access device while moving the actual work environment into the controlled workspace.

Kasm boosts operational agility by allowing IT teams to spin up dedicated environments instantly on any existing device, eliminating physical shipping constraints entirely. Protect corporate networks from rogue, unpatched, or lost physical machines by keeping all sensitive data and active workflows contained entirely inside the secure cloud workspace layer. Slash total cost of ownership (TCO) by leveraging existing, third-party, or BYOD hardware to deliver a secure workspace, keeping capital free for strategic business growth.
