verified_user Why License DropOps?
While the core source code is public, a Commercial License unlocks the features and legal standing required for professional environments.
- Pre-Execution Threat Analysis: MITRE ATT&CK-mapped detectors block malicious shell patterns before they run — and scrub sensitive output after, before it reaches the AI.
- Cloud Operator Permissions: Just-in-Time intent grants for AWS, GCP, and Azure — permissions scoped to the operation, expired on completion.
- Advanced Scrubbing: Custom Sentinel patterns to ensure industry-specific PII (HIPAA/PCI) never reaches an LLM provider.
- Cryptographic Ledger: Maintain a permanent, git-backed record of every file mutation across your entire fleet.
- Encrypted SQLite Vaults: AES-256-GCM at-rest encryption for all command outputs and session history — stored on the Operator host and the platform's Docker host, never on external infrastructure.
- Compliance Reporting: Exportable forensic logs for SOC2, HIPAA, and FedRAMP auditing requirements.
- Mass Deployment: Support for Device Link tokens with up to 10,000 uses for rapid, automated fleet enrollment.
- High-Availability VSODB: Support for production-grade VSODB configurations for thousands of concurrent Operator sessions.
