Kasm Workspaces provides highly secure and reliable workspace and containerized desktop infrastructure (CDI), delivering browser-based access to Windows and Linux desktops and applications—on any device, over any network, anywhere in the world.
As a founding Select partner in the F5 ADSP Partner Program, Kasm Workplaces has worked with F5 to develop a high-performance, zero trust solution for enterprise-scale virtual desktop access, with the ability to securely deliver applications and data to distributed teams—whether on-premises or in remote, multicloud, or even air-gapped environments.
“By partnering with F5, Kasm Workspaces provides organizations with secure, flexible, and scalable platforms that can adapt to evolving threats and operational requirements.”
Secure, reliable, and scalable desktop access
The joint F5 and Kasm Workspaces solution is built on the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP), which provides a unified architecture that integrates application delivery, API protection, orchestration, and threat prevention—enabling consistent security, availability, and performance across distributed environments.
F5’s high-performing, resilient, and secure platform integrates with Kasm Workspaces, bringing an additional layer of reliability and protection for customers. We serve a large number of government, defense, and intelligence organizations, which operate under the most rigorous compliance standards, and in some of the most complex, classified, and high-stakes environments. Kasm Workspaces also focuses on other highly regulated industry segments, including financial services and healthcare, which require protection of sensitive data while enabling access to critical systems.
Integration with F5 ADSP allows Kasm Workspaces to enforce zero trust network access (ZTNA) policies with SSL offloading, WAF inspection, and identity-aware access controls to ensure there is no implicit trust, even within secured networks. Workspace isolation also ensures there is no lateral movement across systems, reducing the risk from insider threats or compromised endpoints. F5 global load balancing and traffic steering technologies in F5 ADSP allow customers to securely access Kasm Workspaces, even in disconnected, intermittent, or limited environments.
In addition, the joint F5 and Kasm architecture is highly scalable and can be deployed rapidly: Kasm containers can be spun up in seconds to meet surges in demand, while providing policy-based routing, DDoS mitigation, and network segmentation.
In short, by partnering with F5, Kasm Workspaces provides organizations with secure, flexible, and scalable workspaces that can adapt to evolving threats and operational requirements. By combining Kasm’s flexible, container-streaming platform with F5’s proven platform, we’re able to deliver a future-proof, zero trust solution that’s as adaptable as it is secure, offering organizations the agility, control, and protection they need to operate effectively across platforms, environments, and threat landscapes, with simplified compliance for regulated industries or government agencies.
Growth through partnership
Kasm Technologies was founded by engineers Justin Travis and Matt McClaskey, driven by a simple idea: secure computing should be easy to use, accessible, and transparent. What started as a side project to make browser-based workspaces safer quickly became Kasm Workspaces—a platform built to solve real-world challenges customers experienced firsthand in managing secure environments without sacrificing usability or performance. Through years of iteration and deep customer collaboration, Kasm has grown into a high-performance solution trusted in some of the most demanding settings.
That focus on secure, usable access is why Kasm is trusted in highly regulated and mission-critical sectors like government, defense, intelligence, financial services, and healthcare. Our alliance with F5 builds on that trust by pairing Kasm Workspaces with a widely adopted, high-performing application delivery and security platform (ADSP). Together, we give customers added confidence that they can meet rigorous compliance requirements, protect sensitive data, and deliver reliable access to critical systems at scale — especially in environments where resilience and security are non-negotiable.
F5 and Kasm Workspaces is a “better together” solution, and we are committed exploring joint opportunities for growth.
