Security

Built with security as the foundation, not an afterthought

Security is core to Skyscape's architecture. Whether self-hosted or using our managed service, your code and data are protected by multiple layers of security.

🔐 Authentication

  • • JWT-based authentication
  • • Secure password hashing (bcrypt)
  • • HttpOnly session cookies
  • • CSRF protection
  • • Role-based access control

🛡️ Infrastructure

  • • Isolated Docker containers
  • • Network segmentation
  • • Automatic SSL/TLS (Let's Encrypt)
  • • Firewall configuration (UFW)
  • • Regular security updates

💾 Data Protection

  • • Encrypted at rest
  • • Encrypted in transit (HTTPS)
  • • Daily encrypted backups
  • • Secure file permissions
  • • No data sharing with third parties

🔍 Code Security

  • • Input validation and sanitization
  • • SQL injection prevention
  • • XSS protection (auto-escaping)
  • • Path traversal prevention
  • • Secure defaults

Self-Hosted Security

When you self-host Skyscape, you have complete control over security:

  • Deploy on your own infrastructure (on-premise or cloud)
  • Configure your own firewall rules
  • Integrate with your existing security tools
  • Audit all code (100% open source)
  • Control which integrations to enable (GitHub, AI providers)

Hosted Security

Our hosted service adds additional security measures:

  • 24/7 monitoring and incident response
  • DDoS protection
  • Regular penetration testing
  • Compliance with industry standards
  • Dedicated security team

  3. Allow us reasonable time to address the issue before public disclosure
  4. We'll acknowledge receipt within 48 hours
  5. We'll keep you updated on our progress

We appreciate responsible disclosure and will credit researchers who help us improve Skyscape's security.
