The OpenClaw Security Checklist
10 controls that matter
- Run in containers, not bare metal.
- Use separate API keys with spending limits.
- Start read-only before write access.
- Do not connect passwords/financial/admin systems.
- Review third-party skills before install.
- Monitor logs daily during rollout.
- Patch regularly.
- Use a dedicated email account.
- Avoid agent social networks until threat model is clear.
- 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.
