Web Isolation with Kasm Workspaces
Secure, isolated access to the web without compromising productivity
Kasm executes all web activity inside disposable, containerized environments and securely streams only pixels to the user. No web code reaches the endpoint, eliminating malware, phishing, and data leakage while preserving a full browsing experience.
Why Web Isolation Is Now a Security Requirement
Organizations face two converging realities:
Browser-Based Attacks Are the Primary Threat Vector
Phishing, drive-by downloads, zero-day browser exploits, and malicious ads continue to bypass traditional web gateways and endpoint defenses. The browser has become the most targeted attack surface in the enterprise.
Access Requirements Are More Complex Than Ever
Security teams must support:
- Internet access from restricted or regulated environments
- Research on unknown or hostile sites
- External access from contractors, partners, and BYOD users
- Investigations that require privacy, anonymity, or geographic attribution
Web Isolation provides a single, policy-controlled way to enable access while eliminating endpoint risk.
Web Isolation Use Cases
Kasm Web Isolation supports multiple operational and security-driven use cases. Explore the solutions below to see how
organizations deploy isolation in practice.
Browser Isolation for Secure Web Access
Protect endpoints and sensitive networks from web-based threats
Enable everyday web access without exposing users or infrastructure to malware, phishing, or browser exploits. Ideal for enterprises, government agencies, regulated industries, and secure facilities that require policy enforced internet access.
Common scenarios include:
- Secure internet access for regulated or classified environments
- Phishing and malware containment
- BYOD and third-party access without VPNs or agents
- Compliance-driven web separation
Web Research & Digital Investigations
Conduct anonymous, non-attributable web research safely
Provide analysts with disposable, isolated research environments for Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), fraud investigations, and threat intelligence. Sessions run from configurable regions and egress points, preventing attribution back to the analyst or organization.
Common scenarios include:
- Threat intelligence and SOC investigations
- Fraud, AML, and brand protection research
- Dark web and adversary infrastructure analysis
- Journalist and investigative research environments
How Kasm Web
Isolation Works
A user launches a browser workspace through Kasm Workspaces
A secure, containerized environment is dynamically provisioned
All web interaction occurs inside the isolated container
Only encrypted visual output is streamed to the user’s device
When the session ends, the container is destroyed, leaving no residual data
This architecture ensures zero trust in the browser layer, with no agents, plugins, or thirdparty software required.
