We can just guess, but since they only have to virtualize one application stack, not a complete OS, container technology like Docker or LXC makes much more sense for this workload than the complete virtualization solutions like KVM, VMware or Virtualbox.

the company beyond this called: xformcomputing

under the business overview :
they say they use: DaaS (Desktop-as-a-Service)

if they use containers it is mean their service not secure at all, right ?

Depends on which container types they use. For example, systemd-nspawn container are not trimmed for security, since their main focus is making software development easier, while Docker containers are pretty secure and they even release documentation on how to make containers more secure.
In short: Without insight into their infrastructure it is very difficult to say anything about that. Have you tried to contact them and just ask?
