Secure SaaS access for distributed teams
Distributed teams reach corporate SaaS from home networks and endpoints you do not own. Governance moves with Oasis: a managed enterprise browser that carries policy, visibility, and data rules in the session through your IdP and DLP.
Interactive BYOD savings calculator
More companies are moving to enterprise browsers to reduce unnecessary spending on purchased laptops, shipping, and device operations for Staff who need secure access. Use the ROI calculator below to estimate how much your organization could save in Year 1 and over multiple years.
Inputs
The default $1,500 purchased-device cost is based on historical internal data for laptop and shipping costs per Staff member.
Includes hardware, setup, logistics, support, and recovery overhead.
What this means
If you switch 20 Staff from purchased laptops to Oasis access, you save $18,000 in Year 1 and $54,000 over 3 years.
3-year cumulative savings timeline
Figures are illustrative and assumption-based. Actual outcomes vary with shipping patterns, internal labor allocation, adoption scope, support overhead, and rollout effort. This model is directional decision support, not a guarantee of results.

Keep distributed browser sessions visible and governable
After you model the device-path savings above, the next question is how you keep remote access safe as you scale. As you roll out Oasis, teams can monitor browser-level activity tied to identity, including distributed-work incidents such as risky AI usage, policy bypass attempts, and unusual session exports, so security can respond quickly instead of flying blind. When policies go live, that visibility shows up in monitoring right away.
Upload a policy, push it live to the right groups, and watch enforcement show up immediately in monitoring. Iterate without rebuilding your whole stack.
Live policies feed this incident stream automatically. Rows that match the selected template are highlighted; everything else stays visible for context.
| Severity | Title | Policy | User | App | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | Sensitive data pasted from public Wi-Fi | Remote AI data guardrail | Alex Chen | ChatGPT | New |
| High | Unmanaged extension loaded in remote session | Extension allowlist + review queue | Taylor Swift | Claude | In progress |
| High | AI prompt included internal financial data | Remote AI data guardrail | Jordan Kim | Gemini | New |
| Medium | Remote browser policy bypass attempt | Remote AI data guardrail | Sam Rivera | Grok | Resolved |
| Medium | Session download blocked outside region | Remote download control | Casey Brown | Unknown AI | Resolved |
Less policy admin, faster enforcement for IT teams
Many IT and security teams spend significant time manually configuring browser policies, rolling out changes, and checking multiple places to confirm enforcement. Oasis is designed to cut down the administrative overhead by centralizing policy workflows and monitoring in one operating model.
Draft and validate faster
Start from reusable policy templates, scope to pilot groups, and validate behavior before broad rollout.
Publish with fewer exceptions
Push policy updates through one control plane so enforcement can follow Staff sessions consistently across remote locations and devices.
Monitor and iterate in one loop
Use incident telemetry to tune policies quickly, reduce repetitive admin effort, and keep governance aligned as risk patterns change.

The office perimeter is not where work happens anymore
VPNs, managed laptops, and network boundaries still matter, but most day-to-day work is web sessions on laptops and networks IT does not own end to end. When policies stop at the device or the tunnel, browser activity on SaaS and AI tools can outpace what those models see. Oasis adds a control layer where the work actually occurs.
Office-centric assumptions
- Most users were on corporate networks and managed desktops most of the time.
- Security tooling could assume a known endpoint and location.
- Remote access was the exception, not the default.
Distributed reality
- SaaS, collaboration, and internal tools are one click away in the browser.
- People work from home Wi-Fi, travel, and shared spaces on varied hardware.
- Extensions, credentials, and AI workflows concentrate in the session.
Why browser governance matters for remote work
Industry reporting highlights browser involvement in incidents, fast-moving phishing, and breaches with a third-party dimension. For distributed teams, governing the browsing layer helps close gaps that office-only mental models often miss.
What Oasis delivers for remote and hybrid teams
Session-level governance, policies that follow people across locations, integration with your identity and DLP stack, and a practical way to onboard and support workers without treating every remote scenario as a custom exception.
Governance where distributed employees actually work
Remote and hybrid staff live in the browser: collaboration suites, HR and IT portals, line-of-business SaaS, and AI-assisted workflows from home, travel, and co-working networks. Oasis puts policy enforcement in that session, not only on the office LAN.
- Consistent controls on corporate-issued and authorized personal devices where policy allows
- Visibility into browser-level activity tied to identity
- Less reliance on consumer browsers alone for corporate data and sign-in flows
- Reduces gaps when workers shift between locations and networks
Policies that follow the session, not the office perimeter
When teams are distributed, security cannot assume everyone sits behind the same managed stack every day. Unified browser policies travel with the user so SaaS access stays governable across sites and time zones.
- Single control plane for browser-level rules and data handling
- Concrete workflow for IT teams: draft policy, validate on a pilot group, publish broadly, then monitor outcomes
- DLP and usage policy aligned to how remote teams use web apps
- Same posture for HQ, hybrid, and fully remote roles where you standardize on Oasis
- Complements VPN and endpoint tools instead of pretending one model fits every path
Connects to identity and data protection you already use
Oasis integrates with existing identity providers and enterprise DLP so access rules and data policies extend into SaaS workflows. Remote programs scale without asking every worker to route all browsing through a different stack.
- IdP-driven authentication and access patterns employees already know
- Enterprise DLP and data controls enforced in the browsing layer
- Browser activity tied to identity for clearer accountability off campus
- Modern browser experience with governance people will adopt
- Okta SSO
- MFA verified
- Role: Remote employee
- Paste: inspect
- Download: restricted
- Upload: allowed
Practical access for hires, movers, and surge support
Onboarding and org changes are harder when access is tied to shipping hardware or standing up VDI for every scenario. A managed browser session offers a faster path to productive SaaS access within your security boundary, especially for distributed timelines.
- Fewer blocking dependencies when laptops are back-ordered or in transit
- Useful pattern for Staff who do not need a purchased corporate laptop
- Operational model can shift toward identity-driven access management
- Exact timelines depend on your approvals, risk posture, and tooling
BYOD access for distributed roles: security, operations, and economics
In remote programs, Staff access is where security controls and operating cost often collide. A managed browser approach can let organizations support BYOD while keeping enterprise identity, session policy, and DLP controls in place.
Representative enterprise pattern
A late-stage enterprise buyer wanted secure SaaS access for Staff and preferred to avoid shipping managed laptops for each engagement.
Controls still required
The team needed identity-driven access and DLP-aligned controls in the browsing session, including policy enforcement without local admin dependencies.
Economic model
Laptop-based access costs scaled with Staff volume. Oasis pricing follows a per-Staff annual model with a minimum spend floor, creating a clear breakeven point and expanding upside as eligible Staff volume rises.
The business case model in this calculator is directional and assumption-driven. Actual outcomes vary by Staff mix, internal support model, rollout scope, and how much purchased-device path cost is truly avoidable.
Outcomes security and IT leaders care about
Themes for hybrid and remote programs: speed to productive access, sustainable cost, governance off campus, and scale without unmanaged sprawl. Your results depend on policy, rollout, and risk appetite.
Workforce velocity
Keep projects moving when secure access does not always wait on office-only patterns or hardware logistics for every new remote hire or transfer.
Cost structure
Reduce pressure to over-invest in one-size device and VDI answers for every remote edge case when the browser can carry policy for many SaaS workflows.
Governance confidence
Corporate SaaS and internal web workflows stay governed when activity happens in a managed browser session, including off traditional campus networks.
Operational scalability
Support hybrid and remote-first scale without multiplying exceptions, shadow workflows, and unmanaged browser sprawl linearly.
