Translucid
Secure Browser Infrastructure
Secure virtual browsers for high‑stakes workflows

Lock down what happens in the browser
without locking down your users.

Translucid is a secure execution layer for browser‑based VMs. Run technical interviews, assessments, and sensitive internal tools in isolated cloud browsers that feel native to candidates and employees – not like a locked‑down lab.

Purpose‑built for security teams who need full control of the execution environment without rewriting their apps.
Why teams adopt Translucid
A secure browser, not a locked‑down laptop.

Translucid gives you a dedicated, disposable browser VM per session, with policies your security team can understand and audit. No more fragile screen‑sharing or invasive proctoring agents.

Isolated cloud browsers

Each interview or assessment runs in its own short‑lived VM. Nothing touches the candidate's device – no local files, no lingering credentials, no hidden extensions.

Zoom / Google Meet inside the VM

Use the tools your teams already trust. Translucid is architected to support real‑time conferencing inside the virtual browser, with mic & camera forwarded through a hardened streaming layer.

Enterprise security posture

Designed for security‑first orgs: TLS everywhere, hardened execution environment, and clear network boundaries. Map VMs into your existing VPC and IAM strategy instead of inventing a parallel world.

Screenshot & capture resistance

Integrates with CastLabs DRMtoday to add a defense‑in‑depth layer against casual screen‑capture on the client side, while the VM itself runs in an environment you fully control.

Control plane you own

Translucid stays in your account. You orchestrate VM lifecycles, store logs, and integrate with your ATS, SSO, and audit pipelines – without giving up control to a black‑box vendor.

Battle‑tested primitives

Built on top of proven streaming stacks like AWS AppStream 2.0 and Neko, so you get production‑grade performance while still keeping a simple, modern developer surface.

How it fits into your stack
Drop‑in secure execution for any web‑based workflow.

You keep your existing interview platform, coding environment, or internal app. Translucid wraps it in a secure VM and gives you a clean API for starting and ending sessions.

Step 1

Create a session from your backend

Your system calls Translucid with a candidate ID, organization ID, and target URL. We spin up a browser VM, create a DRM asset, and return a signed embed URL.

TypeScript / Node REST / gRPC AWS SDK
Step 2

Embed the VM in your app

On the client side you simply iframe the embed URL. Translucid handles routing to the correct VM and enforcing token & policy checks before the desktop appears.

Single embed URL Custom branding No agents
Step 3

Tear down & audit automatically

When the interview or exam ends, Translucid destroys the VM and emits structured events you can stream into SIEM, data warehouse, or proctoring analytics.

Enterprise security posture from day one.

Translucid is opinionated about isolation, observability, and data boundaries – and flexible about which browser engine you use underneath.

Your AWS account, your VPC

VMs live inside your AWS account and network perimeter. You choose subnets, security groups, and IAM roles; Translucid just orchestrates them.

Defense in depth

Combine network isolation, hardened VM images, and CastLabs DRMtoday overlays to make exfiltration meaningfully harder without punishing honest users.

Audit‑first by design

Every session has a lifecycle and identity: who started it, from where, for which purpose. Emit structured events into your SIEM so you never have to guess what happened.
