The OpenClaw Security Checklist

10 controls that matter

1. Run in containers, not bare metal.
2. Use separate API keys with spending limits.
3. Start read-only before write access.
4. Do not connect passwords/financial/admin systems.
5. Review third-party skills before install.
6. Monitor logs daily during rollout.
7. Patch regularly.
8. Use a dedicated email account.
9. Avoid agent social networks until threat model is clear.
10. Keep a kill switch ready.

Why this matters

The biggest failures come from over-permissioned setups, not model intelligence. Safety starts with architecture and access control.

Continue with Prompt Injection 101 and Docker-first setup.

If this feels like too much security surface area, Bridgital can run this with guardrails for you.
