Open Vassal Security Overview
A high-level security guide covering cloud isolation, hosted runtimes, and operational boundaries in Open Vassal.

Isolation first
The core security idea behind Open Vassal is that the agent should run in its own cloud environment rather than inside the same machine a person uses for everyday work.
That separation reduces accidental overlap between personal activity and long-running automation.
Control over the operating surface
Security is stronger when the runtime, file management, dashboard access, and account permissions are all visible and managed in one place.
Open Vassal is designed so that operational control is part of the product, not something hidden in ad hoc scripts and infrastructure tabs.
What this means for teams
For teams, the security story is also an ownership story. One shared hosted setup is easier to reason about than multiple personal machines running different versions of the same thing.
That makes access changes, billing boundaries, and operational responsibility much clearer over time.
