1. A method for providing access to a resource over a network, comprising:

  • requesting by a client device, access to a server through a Traffic Management Device (TMD) interposed between the client device and the server;

    switching control of the client device from a first desktop to a secure desktop, wherein the secure desktop is configured to restrict applications access to within the secure desktop;

    receiving from the TMD an indication of the resource on the server to map;

    mapping the indicated resource onto a file system of the client device such that the resource appears local to the client device, wherein the mapped resource is constrained to be accessed through the secure desktop using at least one operation of an operating system controlled by the secure desktop, and wherein mapping the resource further includes adding to an operating system of the client device a kernel module configured to provide access to the resource; and

    when the secure desktop is closed, unmapping the indicated resource, and further when the indicated resource is cached on the client device, sending the indicated resource to the server to synchronize the resource.
