kasmweb/agent repository overview

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.

A live demo is available at kasmweb.com⁠

⁠Quick Reference

• General Information

  kasmweb.com⁠ : The best place to start is by visiting our website:

⁠Common Use Cases

• Browser Isolation

Protect yourself and your users from malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks 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 enclaves.

⁠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 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 BitBucket⁠

• 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

• kasmweb/desktop⁠

A simple desktop environment with Chrome and Firefox browsers installed.

• kasmweb/desktop-deluxe⁠

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

• kasmweb/chrome⁠

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

• 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 kasmweb/chrome image is running. Instead of a full desktop session, only Google Chrome is displayed to the user.
