Kasm Workspaces
McLean, Virginia, United States
What it is
Kasm Workspaces provides virtual desktops, browser isolation, and application streaming in a secure workspace platform. It supports containerized sessions and virtual machine workspaces, accessible through a web browser without plugins, agents, or client installs. Deployment options include on-premises, disconnected or air-gapped environments, multiple clouds, and hybrid architectures. Kasm lists KasmVNC, VNC, SSH, and RDP connectivity, along with remote isolation, file transfer controls, session recording, and data loss prevention. Administrators can apply group policies, role-based access, and session-level controls; supported authentication providers include LDAP, SAML, and OIDC. Kasm states it has SOC 2 Type II and CMMC Level 2 certifications, while noting that customer compliance depends on how controls are implemented and maintained in each organization’s environment. The free Community edition allows five concurrent sessions and excludes commercial use.
