Kasm + UmbrellaNET Hybrid Workspace
Secure, Compliant Cloud Workspaces — Designed for Australian Enterprises
The modern workforce is hybrid, mobile, and constantly connected — but most infrastructure hasn’t evolved to match. Legacy VDI and VPNs introduce complexity, latency, and risk. Endpoint-based access increases your attack surface. And cloud compliance? It’s a maze of red tape.
Enter Kasm + UmbrellaNET.
This is a purpose-built, cloud-native workspace solution that combines Kasm Workspaces — a containerised platform for streaming secure browsers and desktops — with UmbrellaNET’s Tier 4 sovereign cloud, located and operated 100% in Australia.
Together, we provide the secure, scalable, zero-trust environment your teams need, whether they’re in the office, at home, or offshore.
We call it, UmbrellaHUB.
What Is a Hybrid Cloud Workspace?
A hybrid workspace is an IT architecture that enables secure, policy-controlled access to desktops, apps, and web tools via any modern browser — with no local installation, no VPN, and no endpoint risk.
The user experience feels native. The data and execution remain isolated. Everything runs inside containers hosted in UmbrellaNET’s private cloud.
This approach suits:
- Regulated sectors needing compliance and audit trails
- Distributed teams working across jurisdictions
- BYOD environments with unmanaged endpoints
- Organisations needing scalable remote access
Why Infrastructure Matters
You can’t build secure workspaces on insecure foundations.
That’s why UmbrellaNET doesn’t just host Kasm — we empower it.
Our infrastructure is:
- Tier 4 Rated — Full redundancy for power, cooling, and networking
- Data Sovereign — 100% Australian-owned and operated, with no offshore data exposure
- Designed for Security — Enterprise firewalls (Cisco/Fortinet), behavioural threat detection, and zero-trust segmentation
- Engineered for Performance — Sub-10ms latency across metro regions and multi-Gbps throughput
- Built for Compliance — ISO 27001, APRA CPS 234, PCI DSS and HIPAA-equivalent alignment
With UmbrellaNET, you’re not dependent on big-tech hyperscalers. You maintain local control, local support, and local trust.
“Kasm is the engine. UmbrellaNET is the runway. Together, you launch secure hybrid work at scale.”
Discover the power behind UmbrellaNET’s sovereign, Tier 4 infrastructure — purpose-built for compliance-heavy and mission-critical workloads.
What Kasm Workspaces Adds
Kasm is a container-streaming platform that securely delivers desktops, apps, and browser sessions over the web. Every session runs in an isolated Docker container — disposable, persistent, or customised to your workflow.
Key capabilities:
- Zero Endpoint Risk — Nothing runs on the user’s device
- Flexible Session Types — Linux desktops, full browsers, individual apps
- Policy Control — Manage clipboard, file transfer, audio, access time
- Full Logging — Every interaction can be audited
- SSO + RBAC Support — Integrates with Azure AD, Okta, and more
For compliance-heavy teams, this offers traceability, containment, and rapid response — without needing hardware rollouts or agent installs.

Where It Fits Best — Industry Use Cases
UmbrellaHUB brings it all together — a simple, central way to manage secure cloud desktops and browser workspaces for any team, in any location.
No matter your industry, UmbrellaNET’s hybrid solution adapts to your unique compliance and access needs.
Here’s where it delivers real results:
Finance & Banking
Protecting customer data, managing third-party access, and meeting compliance mandates like APRA CPS 234 and PCI DSS requires more than a VPN and trust-based policies.
With Kasm’s containerised workspaces running on UmbrellaNET’s sovereign Tier 4 infrastructure, financial teams can give offshore developers, remote auditors, and mobile advisors access to what they need — nothing more. No data leaves the container, no credentials are exposed, and every session is fully logged.
Healthcare & Allied Services
From home offices to regional clinics, clinicians and specialists often need access to EMRs, imaging software, and patient scheduling systems — sometimes from personal devices.
Kasm enables secure browser-based access with session-level isolation, while UmbrellaNET’s infrastructure ensures compliance with My Health Record guidelines and privacy frameworks.
No installs. No leaks. Just seamless, secure access.
Legal & Compliance
Law firms and compliance teams often deal with sensitive documents and multiple stakeholders — which creates risk.
Kasm lets you spin up secure, disposable workspaces for internal or third-party legal review, while UmbrellaNET ensures all data stays inside Australian borders. Chain of custody is preserved.
File activity is logged. And everything is hosted on infrastructure aligned to Australian Privacy Principles.
Government & Defence
When sensitive environments need to be spun up quickly — whether for secure research, contractor access, or virtual training labs — Kasm delivers zero-trust containers that isolate users from core systems.
Hosted within UmbrellaNET’s 100% Australian-owned Tier 4 cloud, these environments meet the highest levels of security and sovereignty, including alignment with ISM and PSPF frameworks.
Cybersecurity & OSINT
Threat hunters, SOC analysts, and intelligence teams can’t risk attribution or exposure when investigating malware or tracking adversarial infrastructure.
Kasm provides anonymous, disposable containers for phishing analysis, dark web exploration, and malware detonation — while UmbrellaNET’s infrastructure ensures the backend is never compromised. No persistent data. No network traceability.
IT Support & Operations
Support teams often need elevated access — but full access creates full risk. Kasm enables secure, time-limited desktops for Tier 1 and Tier 2 support staff, keeping them separated from production systems.
UmbrellaNET hosts these containers in a hardened, monitored environment that enforces zero-trust segmentation, protects privileged credentials, and logs every activity for compliance.
Education & Training
Forget managing physical labs. With Kasm, you can deliver virtual desktops and course environments right through the browser — fully secure, and accessible from anywhere.
UmbrellaNET’s scalable infrastructure ensures smooth performance, even under load, while supporting persistent or wipe-after-use sessions depending on the learning model. Ideal for cybersecurity courses, Linux labs, and exam conditions.
Mining, Energy & Critical Infrastructure
Whether it’s a mine site in the Pilbara or a control room in the city, Kasm and UmbrellaNET enable secure, browser-based access to critical systems — without relying on fragile VPNs or unsecured endpoints.
Perfect for remote operations, FIFO workforces, and industrial control access — all within a sovereign, compliance-ready cloud.
Secure Remote Workforces
For teams working from home, travelling, or operating across distributed locations, Kasm and UmbrellaNET deliver secure virtual desktops through the browser — with no endpoint exposure.
Whether it’s executives, contractors, or field staff, every session is containerised, policy-controlled, and fully auditable — ensuring productivity without compromising security.
How It Works: A Technical Overview
- Login: Users access the secure portal via browser
- Session Launch: Kasm dynamically provisions a container from UmbrellaNET’s infrastructure
- Isolation: All apps or browser sessions run entirely in that container
- Rendering: Visual output is streamed to the user’s screen
- Cleanup: Session ends → container wipes (or persists if configured)
No VPN. No agent. No endpoint exposure.
