Driving Efficiency, Security, and Scalability
in Energy & Industry

Kasm Workspaces delivers measurable outcomes across operations, IT, and field teams:

Operational efficiency & cost savings:

Auto-scaled workspaces—spin up only when needed—could lower hardware expenses and support remote field teams (e.g., oil rig staff, wind farm technicians).

Learn More

Enhanced security:

Ephemeral, containerized environments reduce attack surface; ideal for critical infrastructure and OT/IT segregation.

Learn More

Zero trust browser access:

Secure interfaces to SCADA systems, telemetry dashboards, or enterprise applications without installing agents on field devices.

Learn More

Scalability & flexibility:

Support for DevOps pipelines, GPU-enabled ML workspaces (useful for energy forecasting or simulations), and custom container builds

Key Challenges Kasm Can Solve

Cybersecurity Risks

OT networks are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks (e.g., ransomware on PLCs).

Legacy Systems

Many companies run decades-old OT equipment and software applications with limited upgrade paths.

Zero trust browser access:

Integrating systems and applications from different vendors and protocols.

Downtime Constraints

Manufacturing and Energy systems and processes can’t easily be stopped for upgrades or patches.

Use Cases

Secure Remote Access for Field Operations

Energy companies often have field engineers and technicians working at remote sites like oil rigs, refineries, or renewable energy farms.

Use Case:

Kasm can provide browser-based access to corporate systems, SCADA dashboards, and data visualization tools without requiring a full VPN or installing software on unmanaged devices.

Benefit:

Minimizes the attack surface, ensures compliance, and allows quick access from anywhere while maintaining security.

Data Visualization & Analysis

Energy operations produce massive amounts of telemetry and sensor data (IoT from pipelines, turbines, or grids).

Use Case:

Analysts and engineers can access Jupyter notebooks, GIS mapping tools, or custom dashboards inside Kasm Workspaces.

Benefit:

The workspaces run in secure containers, so sensitive operational data never leaves the server environment—reducing risk of leaks.

Energy Enterprise VDI Access

Global energy enterprises rely on distributed offices to coordinate exploration, production, compliance, and trading. Legacy VDI solutions often struggle with performance, cost, and scalability across regions.

Use Case:

Staff in Houston, Dubai, London, or Singapore can securely access ERP, compliance, and project management systems through Kasm Workspaces as a lightweight alternative.

Benefit:

Browser-based sessions eliminate endpoint data storage, reduce infrastructure overhead, and ensure data sovereignty by streaming from regional infrastructure. This improves performance, simplifies IT delivery, and lowers total cost of ownership compared to legacy VDI.

Vendor & Contractor Access

Companies frequently work with third-party contractors, consultants, and regulators.

Use Case:

Instead of provisioning accounts or issuing hardware, Kasm allows external users to securely access virtual desktops or single applications through a browser.

Benefit:

Rapid onboarding/offboarding of partners with strong security controls and audit logging.

AI Accelerator

AI is rapidly evolving. AI initiatives in enterprises bring unique data-security risks (IP leakage, training data exposure, regulatory non-compliance). Kasm acts as a security perimeter for AI by keeping sensitive data in controlled, ephemeral, and auditable environments. This ensures that AI can be leveraged without exposing internal data to uncontrolled endpoints, external SaaS models, or insider threats.

Use Case:

AI workloads often require access to highly sensitive datasets for training (e.g., SCADA telemetry in energy, financial transactions, internal scheduling information). Giving direct local access increases insider risk. Instead of distributing datasets, Kasm delivers secure desktops/applications where data stays in the data center or cloud VPC. Access is controlled via role-based access, audit logs, and session recording.

Benefit:

Enforces “data-never-leaves” compliance posture while still empowering data scientists to work flexibly.

Flexible Deployment Options

Energy and Industrial organizations need infrastructure that adapts to both regulatory requirements and business needs. With Kasm you can:

Deploy On-Prem, Cloud, or Hybrid

Whether deploying on prem to segregate industrial control system or in the cloud to meet the needs of a modern-day office environment, Kasm provides deployment flexibility, enabling Cloud-OT Integration, securely linking OT data to enterprise IT systems for advanced analytics. View the difference of cloud and self-hosted.

Resource Minimization

Kasm supports Raspberry PIs, small scale Kubernetes or ARM machines and can work offline and air gapped minimizing resources requirements.

Centralized Management

Simplify IT with unified controls for provisioning, patching, and monitoring.

Flexible Deployment

Kasm provides the flexibility to integrate with hardware, hypervisors, and applications that best serve the business need.

Compliance Enablement

Kasm Workspaces supports key frameworks relevant to energy, including:

NERC CIP

SOC 2 Type II alignment

Configurable to meet GDPR and data sovereignty requirements

Important Note:

Kasm provides the secure platform, while compliance certifications are achieved by how the platform is deployed and managed within your environment. View regulatory and compliance.
