Enterprise AI Security with
First-in-Class Safeguards
CyliumOS is engineered around a core principle: Zero payload retention. From microsecond ONNX inference to cryptographic API key scoping, discover how we safeguard your sensitive data at every layer.
Zero-Retention RAM Execution
Payloads (images, prompts, vectors) exist solely in volatile RAM during inference. No bytes are written to persistent disks, and zero data is used for model training.
End-to-End Cryptography
TLS 1.3 with Perfect Forward Secrecy in transit, AES-256 at rest for metadata, and CSPRNG 256-bit entropy API keys authenticated via HMAC SHA-256 signatures.
SOC2 & ISO 27001:2022
Engineered from day one around strict enterprise compliance frameworks, continuous automated posture testing, and least-privilege role-based access control.
Dedicated BYOC & Air-Gapped
Deploy directly inside your own private AWS, Azure, or GCP VPC with VPC Peering or PrivateLink for absolute data sovereignty and local residency.
How Data Flows Through CyliumOS Microservices
TLS 1.3 Ingress
Traffic terminated at global edge with strict TLS 1.3 ciphers. Plaintext HTTP rejected automatically.
Cryptographic Gating
Unified key verified in microsecond memory cache. Per-second rate limiting and quota allowances validated.
RAM-Only Inference
Payload decoded directly in volatile RAM. Executed via ONNX runtime or isolated LLM reasoning container.
Immediate Memory Wipe
Normalized JSON returned to client. Memory buffers are freed and zeroed out instantly upon socket close.
Engineered Guardrails for Every AI Model
Each of our microservices implements custom safety barriers tailored to its specific computational requirements.
NSFW & Visual Safety Detector
Dedicated runtime isolation & defensive parameters
EXIF & Geolocation Stripping
Automated pre-inference pipeline purges camera metadata, GPS tags, and embedded device signatures before image tensor creation.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Shields
Strict IP sanitization prevents url-fetching attacks against RFC 1918 private subnets (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) and cloud instance metadata (169.254.169.254).
Coordinate Privacy Redaction
Detection point mode returns pixel coordinates ([ymin, xmin, ymax, xmax]) enabling automated on-device blur without sending modified assets back.
Instant Buffer Scrubbing
In-memory image byte arrays are zeroed out immediately following tensor generation (<40ms lifecycle).
1. Zero-Retention Ephemeral Architecture
Most AI APIs write client uploads to local disks or temporary blob storage buckets before executing models. CyliumOS fundamentally rejects this paradigm:
- Volatile RAM Buffers Only: Raw payload buffers stream directly into system RAM. Tensors are computed in microsecond memory slices and freed as soon as HTTP responses flush.
- Zero Model Training: Your prompts, user-submitted media, and classification outputs are never fed into training corpuses, dataset builders, or feedback loops.
- Ephemeral Worker Lifecycles: Container workers restart on automated schedules, ensuring no stale memory artifacts persist across computational sessions.
2. Cryptographic API Key Security & Access Controls
CyliumOS authenticates incoming queries via our unified Universal API Key system. Every key is built with military-grade randomness:
Keys follow the standardized prefix convention (cyk_live_... and cyk_test_...) generated via cryptographically secure random bytes.
Revoke or rotate compromised keys in real-time from the developer console. Edge gateways synchronize token state changes within milliseconds globally.
Keys are isolated between production, staging, and development tiers to eliminate accidental test mutations in production environments.
Hard rate limit ceilings prevent billing surprises or runaway loop invocations from exhausting credit allocations.
3. Microservice-Specific Defense Layers
Because computer vision algorithms and LLM pipelines face distinct attack vectors, each microservice includes specialized defensive filters:
NSFW & Visual Moderation Pipeline
Strips image EXIF metadata (device serial numbers, GPS locations, timestamps) prior to feeding the ONNX tensor. Defense against SSRF is enforced via automated IP resolving guards that block local and private CIDR ranges.
RAG Conversational Intelligence Core
Enforces system persona isolation against prompt injection attacks and context leaking. Outbound token streams undergo heuristic PII filtering to prevent model hallucinatory disclosure of internal secrets.
Image Visibility & Quality Inspector
MIME magic-byte verification blocks file disguising. Image parsing occurs in isolated sandbox runners with strict memory limits to defend against decompression bombs.
4. Network, Edge & Anti-DDoS Architecture
CyliumOS infrastructure routes through distributed edge points of presence equipped with automated threat scrubbing:
Layer 7 Web Application Firewall rules block SQL injection, malicious User-Agents, and automated vulnerability scanners.
Multi-terabit edge capacity absorbs SYN floods, UDP amplification, and DNS reflection attacks without impacting API latency.
All endpoints enforce restrictive Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policies to prevent unauthorized third-party browser execution.
Inference nodes operate in private subnets with no public internet ingress; requests are reverse-proxied through authenticated gateways.
5. Compliance, Certifications & Privacy Frameworks
We design our controls to meet the rigorous compliance standards mandated by enterprise security reviews:
Aligned controls spanning security, confidentiality, and availability.
Comprehensive Information Security Management System (ISMS) protocols.
Compliant with European GDPR, California CCPA, and India DPDP Act 2023.
6. Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) & VPC Isolation
For regulated enterprises (fintech, healthcare, defense, government) requiring complete physical control over data residency:
With CyliumOS Enterprise BYOC, our inference runtime runs inside your dedicated cloud environment:
- Deployable on AWS ECS/EKS, Google Cloud GKE, or Azure AKS.
- Zero network egress: image and prompt data never leaves your VPC boundary.
- Connect via AWS PrivateLink, Azure Private Link, or Direct Connect.
- Dedicated enterprise SLAs with 99.99% availability guarantees.
7. Payment Processing & Billing Safeguards
Financial transactions on CyliumOS are handled with bank-grade security:
- PCI-DSS Level 1 Compliant Gateway: All card, UPI, and netbanking transactions execute through Razorpay. CyliumOS never captures or stores credit card numbers, CVVs, or banking credentials.
- Cryptographic Webhook Verification: Payment activations require HMAC SHA-256 signature validation with replay-attack timestamp prevention before updating quotas.
- Tamper-Proof Invoices: Automated PDF tax invoices are cryptographically hashed and downloadable directly from your account dashboard.

Frequently Asked Security Questions
Q:Does CyliumOS store my image files or text messages on disk?
No. CyliumOS operates under a strict Zero-Retention Guarantee. All media and prompt data are decoded directly into volatile RAM for inference, evaluated within milliseconds, and discarded immediately upon transmitting the response.
Q:Are my API queries used to train public AI models?
Never. We do not use customer requests, images, metadata, or completion data to train or fine-tune public AI models. Your proprietary data remains completely confidential.
Q:What encryption standards protect my data in transit?
All HTTP and WebSocket connections require TLS 1.3 with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS) and modern AES-GCM / ChaCha20 cipher suites. Connections attempting TLS 1.1 or plain HTTP are rejected at the edge.
Q:How are API keys stored and verified?
API keys are generated using 256-bit cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generators (CSPRNG). Keys are authenticated at the edge gateway in microseconds and can be instantly rotated or revoked with zero downtime.
Q:Can enterprise clients deploy CyliumOS inside their own cloud (BYOC)?
Yes. CyliumOS Enterprise plans support Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) deployment models. We provide pre-hardened containerized images and Helm charts to run inside your AWS, Azure, or GCP private VPC with VPC Peering or AWS PrivateLink.
Q:How does CyliumOS protect against SSRF when fetching images by URL?
Our URL ingest gateway runs strict multi-pass DNS validation and IP-level egress firewalls. Requests to internal RFC 1918 addresses (10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x, 192.168.x.x), localhost (127.0.0.1), link-local addresses, and cloud instance metadata services (169.254.169.254) are rejected immediately.
Q:What happens if a security vulnerability is discovered?
We maintain a dedicated security response team reachable at [email protected]. Reports are acknowledged within 24 hours, and high-severity issues are prioritized for zero-day patch deployments.
