About

At Vulcan Cyber, we’re committed to delivering innovative AI-powered features while ensuring compliance with privacy, security regulations, and best practices. This document outlines the key aspects of our AI features, including their functionality, how data is handled, and the privacy and security measures we implement.

Summary of Vulcan AI Privacy and Security

Vulcan AI features are designed to enhance your experience on the Vulcan Cyber platform through advanced capabilities like the Global Search engine. By leveraging artificial intelligence, Vulcan AI provides faster, smarter, and more accurate results to improve efficiency and productivity.

When using Vulcan Cyber’s AI features, your data remains private and secure:

Your search queries and results (inputs and outputs):

  • Are NOT available to other customers.

  • Are NOT available to OpenAI.

  • Are NOT used to train, retrain, or improve OpenAI models, Vulcan AI models, or any other foundation models.

  • Are NOT used to improve any Vulcan Cyber, OpenAI, Microsoft, or third-party products or services without your explicit permission.

How Vulcan AI operates:

  • AI operations are conducted locally within Vulcan Cyber’s secure Azure infrastructure.

  • OpenAI models are hosted securely in Azure and do NOT interact with any external OpenAI services (e.g., ChatGPT or the OpenAI API).

  • All data is processed in real-time, ensuring no customer data is exposed or shared externally.

Technology and logic:

  • Vulcan AI features utilize artificial intelligence provided by OpenAI and are hosted on Azure and integrated into the Vulcan ExposureOS platform,

  • Operations are localized to ensure compliance with regional data protection laws.

  • Vulcan AI securely processes data within Vulcan Cyber’s infrastructure without sharing customer data externally.

Privacy and Security Commitments

Data usage for AI search

When you use the Global Search feature:

  • Query Handling: Our AI engine securely processes search queries, including any text or keywords you provide, to interpret and generate relevant results. The results are retrieved directly from our database without being sent back through the AI model, ensuring your data remains secure and isolated.

  • No Customer Data Sharing: Your queries are processed internally and are not shared with OpenAI or other third parties for independent use.

Security measures

We implement strict security protocols to protect your data:

  • Encryption: Data is encrypted during transmission to and from the AI processing engine.

  • Azure Compliance: All operations are subject to Microsoft’s security and privacy policies, as outlined here.

  • Real-Time Processing: Queries are processed in real-time and are not stored, retained, or used for training AI models.

No data retention or sharing with third parties

Your data stays within Vulcan Cyber's secure infrastructure, ensuring complete privacy and control over your information:

  • No Retention: We do not store search queries or any responses generated by the AI.

  • No External Sharing: Customer data is not transferred outside of Vulcan Cyber's infrastructure.

  • Local AI Model: The AI model operates securely within Vulcan Cyber's Azure environment boundaries, processing data solely within our services.

Your rights and choices

At Vulcan Cyber, we prioritize transparency and customer control:

  • Optional Use: The Global Search AI feature is optional, and you can choose whether to use it.

  • Access to Information: If you have concerns or questions, you can contact us at support@vulcan.io.

Data hosting and geographic location

To ensure compliance with data sovereignty regulations:

  • Regional Hosting: Data is processed and hosted within the geographic region corresponding to your Vulcan Cyber tenant's selected geography (e.g., United States or European Union).
