# Trust/Security

## 🔒 Security at Instruqt

At Instruqt, security is at the heart of everything we do. We know our customers rely on us to provide safe, controlled, and compliant sandbox environments. To protect your data and infrastructure, we’ve built multiple layers of security into the platform.

***

### 1. Cloud Account Security

We take extra care in how Instruqt sandboxes connect to your cloud accounts:

* **Scoped, temporary credentials** — Sessions use short-lived, least-privilege access tokens.
* **Secure authentication flows** — No credentials are stored in Instruqt.
* **Clear account controls** — You choose which cloud accounts to connect, and access can be revoked at any time.

### 2. Track Limits and Usage Controls

We protect against misuse and overconsumption with built-in safeguards:

* **Session limits** — Control the maximum number of concurrent participants.
* **Resource quotas** — Define how many sandboxes, machines, or cloud resources can be spun up.
* **Expiration policies** — Prevent idle environments from running indefinitely.

### 3. Secure Sharing & Access

We help you balance openness with control:

* **Invite-only access** — Share private tracks via secure invite links.
* **Customizable forms** — Gate access with required details (e.g., email, company, consent).
* **Link expiration** — Automatically disable links after a period of time.

### 4. Our Commitment

We continuously monitor and update our security practices to keep up with evolving threats. Security is a shared responsibility, and we provide the tools and transparency you need to run your sandboxes with confidence.
