# Security built into every Cube.

> Every Alpha Cube checks each new file with VaultShield, runs models inside your firewall, connects by wire only and lets you set who sees what.

## Built-in protection

Every Alpha Cube comes with all four.

### File inspection

VaultShield inspects every new file, dataset or model before it reaches the Cube. Anything that fails is quarantined.

### On your network

Models, VaultOS and GEM run on the Cube itself, inside your firewall. Business data is never sent to the cloud.

### Wired only

There's no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth in the Cube, so there's nothing to reach over the air. It connects only by cable, to your network.

### Role-based access

Decide who can use the Cube and what each person, team or department can see, so confidential work stays put.

## Know where your data lives.

How Vault compares with cloud AI.

| Topic | Cloud | Vault |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Where your AI runs | In someone else's data center | On your Cube, inside your network |
| Who controls access | The provider | You decide |
| What your data trains | Whatever their terms allow | Only the models you choose |
| Internet connection | Required for every request | Optional. It can run fully offline. |
| New files and models | Read by the AI as soon as they're uploaded | Inspected by VaultShield first |
| Activity logs | Kept on their servers | Kept on your Cube |

## Common security questions

What teams ask before bringing AI in-house.

### Does any of our data go to the cloud?

No. Models, VaultOS and GEM run on the Cube inside your firewall, so business data is never sent to the cloud.

### Does the Cube connect to the internet?

Only through your network, by cable. There's no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and it can run fully offline.

### What gets inspected?

Every new file, dataset or model, before it reaches the Cube.

### What happens to a file that fails?

It's quarantined for admin review and never reaches the Cube.

### Who decides what each person can see?

You do. Set access by person, team or department, so confidential work stays put.

### Can we see who used it and when?

Yes. Every question is logged, so your team can review who asked what and when.

### Is our data used to train anyone else's model?

No. Your data only trains models you choose to train, and those stay on your hardware.

### Does the Cube send any data back to Vault?

No. Nothing on the Cube is sent back to Vault.

### Does every Alpha Cube include this?

Yes. Every model comes with file inspection, role-based access and wired-only networking, on your own network. [Compare models](https://vaultaisystems.com/compare)
