Kasm Workspaces
Scalable Cloud Desktops for Australian Businesses
Rethink Remote Access. Reclaim Security.
Today’s workplace is everywhere — on-site, remote, offshore, or hybrid. That flexibility comes with serious security risks. Traditional VPNs, endpoint agents, and legacy virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) can’t keep up with modern threats.
Kasm Workspaces, delivered in Australia by UmbrellaNET, offers a better way. It’s a secure, containerised platform that lets your team access desktops, browsers, and applications directly from any device — all without exposing your network, data, or endpoints.
Everything runs in the cloud. Nothing runs locally. Every session is isolated, policy-controlled, and optionally disposable.
Why Kasm Workspaces?
Kasm turns your browser into a fully controlled gateway to the tools your team needs — with zero install, zero trust assumptions, and maximum flexibility.
- Access anything: Linux desktops, Chrome, internal apps, or legacy tools
- From anywhere: BYOD, offshore, branch office, or home
- Without compromise: No endpoint exposure, no data leakage, no software agents
And with UmbrellaNET as your deployment partner, you get local expertise, sovereign infrastructure, and long-term support — all delivered by a team that’s been building secure cloud environments for over 20 years.
How It Works
When a user logs into Kasm, they launch a secure, isolated container running a browser, desktop, or application. That container lives in the cloud — hosted by UmbrellaNET or in your own infrastructure.
The session is streamed as pixel data to the user’s browser. Nothing is executed locally. No files are downloaded unless explicitly allowed. When the session ends, the container is wiped clean — unless you choose persistence for development or ongoing tasks.
It’s fast. It’s seamless. And it’s built for zero-trust.

Real-World Use Cases by Industry
Kasm Workspaces adapts to the unique demands of modern industries — from finance to healthcare — enabling secure, flexible access for remote teams, offshore workforces, and controlled digital environments.
Finance & Banking
Secure remote access for sensitive operations
Offshore devs. Remote auditors. Mobile advisors. Kasm ensures they only access what they need — inside a secure container — with no VPN required and no risk of data exfiltration.
UmbrellaNET hosts the environment in sovereign Australian infrastructure, helping you meet compliance standards like APRA CPS 234 and PCI DSS.
Legal & Compliance
Control access to confidential case files
Whether working with internal counsel or third-party lawyers, legal teams can isolate sensitive review environments. Prevent data leaks. Track every click. And keep the chain of custody intact.
Kasm enables disposable or persistent sessions with controlled upload/download policies — perfect for litigation, e-discovery, and regulatory work.
Healthcare & Allied Services
BYOD access to clinical systems, without risk
Deliver secure, browser-based access to EMRs, imaging software, or scheduling tools — even on personal devices. Kasm ensures patient data stays protected, while clinicians enjoy seamless access across hospitals, home offices, or mobile clinics.
Complies with HIPAA-equivalent privacy standards and supports integration with identity providers.
IT Support & Operations
Sandbox your help desk — reduce risk, not access
Support teams often need elevated privileges. But unrestricted access to production systems is a huge risk. With Kasm, you can create secure, temporary desktops for Tier 1 and Tier 2 staff — fully isolated from your core network.
When the session ends, everything is wiped. And with full logging, you stay audit-ready.
Education & Training
Scale secure workspaces for students and labs
Whether it’s a cybersecurity course, a virtual Linux lab, or a controlled exam environment, Kasm makes it easy to deploy secure desktops without needing physical machines.
Students log in from anywhere. You control the environment. Sessions are wiped clean — or persisted, depending on your needs.
Cybersecurity & OSINT
Investigate safely, stay invisible
Need to detonate malware? Explore dark web infrastructure? Or investigate phishing domains? Kasm provides disposable containers with anonymous attribution — meaning nothing connects back to your IP, and no malicious content reaches your systems.
It’s trusted by threat researchers, intelligence teams, and penetration testers worldwide.
