Kasm is a Desktop and Application Isolation platform. It allows users to create on-demand, disposable, web-accessible environments to safely and securely do work - building a Chasm between the users and web born threats.

• Creating Custom Kasm Images

hhttps://bitbucket.org/kasmtech/kasm_release/src/develop/: We provide a set of default that are installed by default. But administrators of the system are also able to create and customize their own Images.

Common Use Cases

• Browser Isolation

Protect yourself and your users from malware, ransomware, and phishing ***s by accessing the web from a browser container running in a secure, remote Kasm sandbox. None of the website’s code is ever executed on your personal machine – only within the isolated Kasm sandbox. The site has no knowledge of personal computer, or even that it exists!

• Containerized Desktop Infrastructure

Kasm is the perfect tool for spinning up on-demand desktop environments. Place Kasm in your DMZ or VPC for external internet research or tasks, or deploy it inside your network for secure access to private ***s.

Kasm Server

The Kasm Server software stack is composed of a number of docker services. It is not intended for users to download these containers directly from dockerhub, but instead install the entire stack via our official installation media at https://kasmweb.com/. The appropriate docker images will be pulled from dockerhub during installation. Kasm server can be easily deployed in a few minutes in a single server configuration, or in a distributed scalable architecture. It can run on premise, in your own Virtual Private Cloud or we can provide a fully hosted SaaS offering.

Default Kasm Images

Kasm Images are docker containers that are the environment end-users interact with. We provide a set of default Images listed below, but administrators are able to create and customize their own. We provide examples for customizing a Desktop environment or running a single application at hhttps://bitbucket.org/kasmtech/kasm_release/src/develop/

• https://hub.docker.com/r/kasmweb/core

The base container all Kasm Images must be based on. It contains the minimal set of wiring needed to run within the Kasm ecosystem

• https://hub.docker.com/r/kasmweb/desktop

A simple desktop environment with Chrome and Firefox browsers installed.

• https://hub.docker.com/r/***

As a demonstration, this Image represents a desktop environment that has been customized with additional popular software.

• https://hub.docker.com/r/***

Instead of hosting a full desktop, administrators can choose to publish a Image that contains a single application. In this instance that application is Google Chrome

• https://hub.docker.com/r/kasmweb/firefox

A Kasm image that hosts a single application - Mozilla Firefox

Visuals

Kasm Server UI

Kasm Desktop Environment

This is a view into a Kasm desktop session. Any program that executes or website that is visited from within this session never executes on the end-user's personal computer. Only in the Kasm container sandbox.

Kasm Chrome Environment

Another view into a Kasm session. In this example the *** image is running. Instead of a full desktop session, only Google Chrome is displayed to the user.
