You can use the application update feature of Orchestration to batch enable the AI Assistant Security service for existing OpenClaw ECS instances, enhancing their security and controllability.
You can also log in to an instance and enable the AI Assistant Security feature by executing relevant commands to obtain the corresponding security protection capabilities. Learn more. tip
Currently, only the following regions are supported: China (Beijing), China (Shanghai), China (Guangzhou). Learn more. As a powerful AI agent, OpenClaw has the permission to directly operate devices, read local files, call system commands, access the network, and more. If OpenClaw is improperly configured or maliciously exploited, it can easily lead to security risks such as data leakage, system damage, and financial loss. To address such risks, Volcano Engine provides AI Assistant Security, which offers all-round security protection for OpenClaw and ensures its safe, stable, and reliable operation in your environment.
AI Assistant Security acts as a dedicated security guardian for your AI assistant. Without affecting the normal operation of OpenClaw, it uses a built-in large model application firewall to monitor and defend against three core types of risks in real time:
- Attackers may hide malicious instructions in web pages, documents, or emails processed by OpenClaw, tricking it into performing unintended operations, such as stealing passwords or leaking data.
- You may accidentally enter personal or corporate sensitive information (such as ID numbers, phone numbers, and API Keys) during AI conversations or document processing. This information may be sent to external large models, resulting in privacy breaches.
- When interpreting ambiguous instructions, the AI agent may misinterpret instructions or be maliciously induced to call high-privilege tools and execute dangerous commands. For example, misinterpreting "clean up the desktop" as deleting critical system files.
- The security protection deployment does not affect the normal running of instances, requires no instance restart, and will not interrupt services.
- For an ECS instance with AI Assistant Security enabled, redeployment only performs an overwrite installation and updates the service to the latest version.
- In the left-side navigation pane, click "Maintenance & Monitoring > Orchestration".
- In the top menu bar, select the region and project of your business.
- On the "CloudOps Orchestration" page, click the "Common O&M tasks" tab and select "App update".
- Click the "Create task" button and configure the parameters described in the following table.
- Click the "Confirm" button to complete the operation.
- After you confirm that the information to be updated is correct, click the "Confirm" button to start deploying security protection.
- Security protection deployed
- The deployment takes about 3 minutes. When the task status shows Succeeded, the deployment is complete.
- Security protection deployment failed
- A failed deployment does not affect the normal operation of the original services on the instance. It only means security protection is not enabled this time. You can try deployment again or submit a ticket for technical support.
You can also enable security protection when purchasing an ECS instance to obtain enterprise-level security protection for OpenClaw. For details, see
