AI Agent Security Glossary

The key terms and concepts behind secure AI agent hosting. Whether you are evaluating ClawTrust or building your own setup, these definitions will help you understand what matters.

OpenClaw

OpenClaw is a powerful open-source AI agent framework that lets you deploy autonomous assistants across messaging channels. Out of the box, it prioritizes ease of use over security.

Credential Vault

A credential vault is an encrypted storage system that keeps API keys, passwords, and tokens separate from the agent server. The agent never directly handles your credentials.

Zero Trust Hosting

Zero trust hosting is a security model where every server has zero open inbound ports, uses outbound-only encrypted networking, and requires verification for every connection.

AI Agent

An AI agent is an autonomous AI assistant that can take actions on your behalf: sending messages, scheduling meetings, writing code, and managing tasks across multiple platforms.

Disk Encryption

Disk encryption protects all data stored on a server by encrypting the entire disk with LUKS2. If someone physically accesses the drive, the data is unreadable without the encryption key.

Learn more

Encrypted Tunnels

Encrypted tunnels are outbound-only, encrypted network connections that replace traditional SSH and VPN access. The server connects outward, so no ports need to be open for incoming traffic.

OpenClaw Skills

OpenClaw skills are pre-built automation modules that give your AI agent specific capabilities, like managing email, scheduling meetings, handling GitHub tasks, or making voice calls.

Team Brain

Team Brain is a persistent, searchable memory system for AI agents that stores learned knowledge, preferences, and processes while automatically filtering out sensitive personal data.

Learn more

Managed AI Hosting

Managed AI hosting is a fully managed service where the provider handles all server provisioning, security hardening, monitoring, and maintenance for your AI agent. You focus on using the agent, not running it.

Learn more

Container Isolation

Container isolation uses Docker to run AI agent processes in sandboxed environments with strict resource limits, read-only filesystems, and restricted system access. If something goes wrong inside the container, it cannot affect the host system.
