TLS-encrypted transport
Every session runs over TLS 1.2+ with certificate pinning. Display data, input events, clipboard operations, and file transfers are encrypted end-to-end between the browser and the workspace.
Browser-native workspace access
Browser-Based Remote Access for Enterprise Teams
Open office PCs and cloud workspaces from Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox — no VPN client, no installed software, no firewall exceptions. One URL, one login, and the session is live.
The problem
What browser-based access actually replaces
Traditional remote access stacks were designed for a different era. Each layer adds friction, support tickets, and security gaps.
VPN client sprawl
Every platform needs its own VPN client — Windows, macOS, iOS, Android — each with separate update cycles, configuration profiles, and troubleshooting playbooks. IT manages four stacks to deliver one capability.
Platform-specific remote desktop software
RDP requires Windows Pro licenses and network-level exposure. Third-party tools demand per-device agents. macOS and Linux need different solutions entirely. Nothing works the same way twice.
Firewall configuration complexity
Every new remote access path means firewall rules, port forwarding, NAT traversal, and split-tunnel policies. Each rule is a potential misconfiguration — and a potential breach vector.
Inconsistent experience across devices
Users on a corporate laptop get one workflow. Users on a personal tablet get another. Contractors get a third. The result: shadow IT workarounds, unsanctioned file transfers, and support tickets that never end.
How MyWorkspace solves this
One browser tab. Full desktop access.
MyWorkspace routes users to their assigned workspaces through a governed browser session — no client software, no network-level exposure, no device dependency.
- 1
Browser-native sessions
Users open a URL, authenticate with 2FA, and launch their assigned workspace inside the browser tab. The session streams display output and input events over a WebSocket connection — nothing is installed on the local device.
- 2
Zero client footprint
No agents, no plugins, no local software. The browser is the only dependency. IT does not need to package, distribute, or update any client-side component across the device fleet.
- 3
Consistent access from any device
Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, Linux, Android — the experience is the same. A field technician on a ruggedized tablet and an executive on a MacBook Pro reach the same workspace through the same portal.
Technical advantages
How the browser session is built
MyWorkspace is not a screen-sharing tool wrapped in a browser. The session protocol is engineered for production remote access over standard web infrastructure.
WebSocket session transport
Persistent WebSocket connections replace polling-based protocols. The connection stays open for the session lifetime, reducing handshake overhead and enabling real-time input responsiveness.
Hardware-accelerated rendering
Where the browser supports it, sessions use GPU-accelerated canvas rendering for display output. This offloads frame decoding from the CPU and keeps the session smooth during graphically intensive work.
Multi-monitor support
Remote display layouts with two or more monitors are mapped into the browser session. Users can span monitors across tabs or use the built-in multi-display view to work across all screens.
Clipboard and file transfer
Copy-paste between the local device and the remote session works through a policy-controlled clipboard channel. File transfers are routed through the same encrypted session — no separate upload portal needed.
Session persistence
If the browser tab is closed or the connection drops, the workspace keeps running. Users reconnect to the same session state — open applications, unsaved work, and display layout are preserved.
Security & trust
Security model for browser-delivered access
Browser-based does not mean browser-trusting. Every session passes through identity verification, policy evaluation, and session isolation before any workspace pixel reaches the screen.
- Identity verification with SSO, SAML, or OpenID Connect — integrated 2FA before any session starts
- Policy engine evaluates user role, device posture, time-of-day, and location before granting workspace access
- Session isolation ensures each user connects only to their assigned workspace — no lateral movement, no shared sessions
- Full audit trails record session start, duration, source IP, authentication events, and administrative actions
- No data at rest on the endpoint — display frames are rendered in memory and discarded when the tab closes
- Per-session routing through private infrastructure — no direct network path between the browser and the target machine
Use cases
Who uses browser-based remote access
Remote employees
Staff working from home, co-working spaces, or traveling reach their office PC or cloud workspace from whatever device they have. No VPN client required — just a browser and their credentials.
Field teams and mobile workers
Technicians, sales engineers, and consultants access workstation-class applications from tablets and lightweight laptops at client sites. The same session quality, regardless of the endpoint hardware.
BYOD organizations
Companies that allow personal devices no longer need to enforce MDM enrollment for basic workspace access. The browser session is the security boundary — nothing touches the personal device storage.
Multi-site enterprises
Organizations with offices across cities and countries give every site the same access experience through one portal. No site-specific VPN concentrators, no regional firewall rules.
Contractor and vendor access
External partners get scoped access to specific workspaces without installing anything on their own equipment. Access is provisioned and revoked from the admin console — no leftover agents on third-party devices.
FAQ
Browser-based access FAQ
MyWorkspace runs in any modern browser that supports WebSocket and TLS 1.2+. Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, iPadOS, and Android are fully tested. No plugins or extensions are required.
No. Sessions run entirely inside the browser tab using standard web APIs. There is no ActiveX control, Java applet, browser extension, or client-side agent to install, update, or manage.
Sessions use persistent WebSocket connections with adaptive frame encoding and hardware-accelerated rendering where the browser supports it. The protocol adjusts quality and compression based on available bandwidth, keeping input latency consistent even on variable connections.
Yes. MyWorkspace supports multi-monitor layouts within the browser. Users can span sessions across tabs or use the multi-display mode to map remote monitors to local screens. Display configuration persists between sessions.
No workspace data persists in the browser. Sessions stream display output and input events — files, application state, and credentials remain on the remote machine or cloud workspace. When the tab closes, there is no residual data on the local device.
