Airgap Getting Started

HiddenLayer’s Airgap AISec Platform is similar to the SaaS version but with key differences in available features and functionality. This guide does not provide a comprehensive overview for features and functionality. This guide is focused on what the Airgap AISec Platform provides, and what needs to be considered.

For more information about features and functionality, see the non-airgap documentation here.

Things to Consider

HiddenLayer’s Airgap AISec Platform will continue to differ from our SaaS offering. HiddenLayer recommends utilizing our SaaS offering when able, as the airgapped rendition of the Platform is for specific scenarios and environments.

When utilizing the airgap Platform, consider the following:

• Additional prerequisites to function in an airgapped environment.

• Trailing feature and functionality support when compared to the SaaS offering.

  • Additionally: Some features can only be used in an internet connected environment and will not be supported in an airgapped environment.

Types of Installation

HiddenLayer’s Airgap AISec Platform consists of multiple products, similar to our SaaS offering.

These products can be installed in the following ways:

Products	Installation Type	Notes
HiddenLayer Platform and Console UI	Embedded Cluster	The embedded cluster is an “all in one” package that contains the aforementioned products. The embedded cluster is packaged a .tar file and would be installed on an x86_64 Linux based operating system. Users would need to setup their own prerequisite services in order for the AirGap AISec Platform to function. See the “Prerequisites” section below for a list of the necessary services.
AIDR	Helm Chart	AIDR is deployed as a separate container similar to our SaaS offering, and should be deployed into an existing K8s cluster. AIDR can be deployed multiple times as separate instances. Once deployed, the AIDR instance can connect to the platform and detection results can be viewed in the Console. This is called “Hybrid” mode. The Airgap AIDR provides the same functionality as the non-airgap product.
Model Scanner	Container	Model Scanner is deployed as a separate container called Model Scanner CLI. Once deployed, Model Scanner CLI can be ran independently or connected to the platform for results to be viewed in the Console. The Airgap Model Scanner provides the same functionality as the non-airgap product.
