		Related Products Retool Securely deploy vibe-coded apps in one governed platform. Build in Retool, import from tools like Claude Code, Replit, or Lovable, or connect via MCP. However your team builds, every app ships safely, with governance built in. People across your organization are already vibe-coding internal tools with no SSO, no RBAC, no audit logs, and no connection to your existing data controls. Retool is where secure vibe coding happens by default. Build from scratch, import an app from another AI builder, or connect an agent via MCP — governance lives in the platform, not in each individual app. 4.6 out of 5 stars 608 Ratings Visit Website for Retool Aikido Security Secure your code, cloud, and runtime in one central system.

Kasm uses our high-performance streaming and secure isolation technology to provide web-native Desktop as a Service (DaaS), application streaming, and secure/private web browsing. Kasm is not just a service; it is a highly configurable platform with a robust developer API and devops-enabled workflows that can be customized for your use-case, at any scale. Workspaces can be deployed in the cloud (Public or Private), on-premise (Including Air-Gapped Networks or your Homelab), or in a hybrid configuration. 4.8 out of 5 stars 127 Ratings Visit Website for Kasm Workspaces Thinfinity Workspace Thinfinity Workspace is a virtual desktop (VDI) and virtual application (VDA) platform that runs natively on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), with no third-party hypervisor layer. It publishes Windows and Linux desktops and applications, internal web apps and files to any HTML5 browser or to native Windows, iOS and Android clients, with no VPN. The browser needs no install; the native clients add low-level USB device redirection. How it works: a gateway, a broker and a lightweight agent on each session host. Agents connect outbound to the gateway over port 443, so session hosts need no inbound firewall rules for user access. Sign-in works with Active Directory, LDAP, SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0 or RADIUS, with built-in multi-factor authentication and role-based permissions. Session recording and audit logging, with SIEM export, support HIPAA, GDPR and PCI DSS reviews. Linux, Java and web applications can also run as per-session containers on Kubernetes (OKE), and a REST API supports automation. Standard VDI features include multi-monitor, printing, clipboard and file transfer, USB redirection, session sharing, load balancing and high availability. Also deploys on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IONOS, VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, hybrid and air-gapped networks.
