Built for the highest trust environments. Ready for everything else. 

Our datacenter facility already supports a physically isolated enclave handling DoD Secret data with WAIF connectivity, that’s a higher security posture than most commercial GPU providers will ever touch.

If our datacenter building is trusted for the United States’ Secret data, the question isn’t whether CanvasFoundry is secure, it’s why you would run AI any other way.

We are not claiming CanvasFoundry is Secret-accredited.

We’re claiming:
•the facility has proven trustworthiness, and
•the operating culture already supports high-assurance workloads.

Our CanvasFoundry platform is a huge advantage over “upload your data into our Kubernetes cluster.” Like typical GPU-clouds and our competitors. This is how we are solving the AI last mile. We’re not inventing a new security model, we’re applying the same proven trust and isolation used by industry-standard systems for decades.

Key security-aligned properties of our CanvasFoundry platform

We are not doing “shared Kubernetes free-for-all”:

• Hard VM boundaries (not just containers like our competitors)
  Hard VM boundaries give each customer a true hardware-level isolation layer, so even if an app or container breaks, it can’t spill into the host or another tenant’s environment. We didn’t invent virtualization, we are using virtualization you can trust that is a secure part of the Linux operating system kernel today. Most neoclouds today (GPU clouds) use containers so your data is never safe. 
  

• Customer-owned/controlled virtual networks
  With CanvasFoundry, every tenant gets their own customer-controlled virtual network: VXLAN-segmented, WireGuard-encrypted, namespace-isolated, and enforced on real Cisco-class switching. So your traffic stays private, provably separated, and never “shared by default.” 
  

• Explicit topology (what talks to what is visible to you)

• No forced data egress to “your cluster”

• No mandatory re-platforming of apps

• Deterministic infrastructure (repeatable builds)

Iron Door Security

Putting APIs on the public internet might be “normal,” but it’s also a standing invitation for someone to keep trying until something breaks. Unauthenticated attackers hammer endpoints with brute force, fuzzing, buffer overflow attempts, and every variation of “maybe this time it works.” Authenticated attackers are even more dangerous, because once they’re inside, their access is broader, their reach is deeper, and the blast radius is larger. You can spend a fortune on monitoring, SOC manpower, and layered controls… but modern adversaries are patient, well-resourced, and happy to play the long game. If the system stays exposed long enough, it becomes a waiting game.

Some platforms try to “solve” this by putting customers behind a VPN. Yes, better than wide open. But a VPN still bridges networks. It creates routing between your environment (home Wi-Fi, a coffee shop, a hotel, a compromised laptop) and ours. Anything living on your device or network can now flow toward ours. The connection is “encrypted,” sure, but it’s still a direct path.

Our Iron Door is the opposite approach. It’s Zero Trust in the most literal sense: we don’t trust the internet, we don’t trust your laptop or phone, and you don’t have to trust our internal network either. Everyone stays isolated. There is no routing between us (like a VPN), and there are no exposed APIs for you to poke at. Instead of giving your device a pathway into our systems, Iron Door delivers only what you actually need to operate: pixels. The result is a virtual air gap over the internet—using a pixel stream.

At the core is a proprietary, multi-channel display protocol engineered for fast, responsive interaction even across harsh network conditions (high-latency WANs, low-bandwidth links, unstable connections). Iron Door sits between you and your virtual datacenter(s), taking native application protocols on the server side and translating them into a pixel  stream that renders securely in your browser. To keep performance snappy and bandwidth lean, this protocol applies optimizations like request pruning (dropping redundant draw commands), update merging, intelligent caching, variable compression, and adaptive tuning based on real-time network conditions.

Call it a proxy if you want, but only in the sense that it’s a pixel-based proxy. No exposed APIs. No bridged networks. No direct path into critical systems. Just secure interaction through pixels, an internet-scale air gap designed for the way systems get attacked today.
