Security Best Practices

When using Project Argus:

Agent Security

  • Run the agent with minimal required permissions
  • Use in development/staging environments before production

  • Bind WebSocket server to localhost in development
  • Use TLS/SSL in production environments
  • Implement authentication for production deployments
  • Configure appropriate firewall rules

Data Handling
