Question 1

Does ConnectMyAssets require an internet connection to operate?

Accepted Answer

No. ConnectMyAssets is designed to run entirely within your own infrastructure with no internet connection required. There are no cloud dependencies, no telemetry callbacks, and no external licensing servers. Software updates are delivered as new OVA versions or via your internal package repository on your schedule. CVE database updates arrive as signed offline packages. Every component, including the AI inference engine, operates without any external dependency.

Question 2

Does the AI feature work in a fully offline deployment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ConnectMyAssets AI runs entirely on your own hardware using local inference. It makes no calls to OpenAI, Anthropic, or any external AI service. The inference model is bundled within the appliance and runs on your virtual machine's compute resources. This means all AI-generated configuration analysis and insights remain fully within your perimeter, with no data leaving your isolated network.

Question 3

What virtualization platforms are supported for isolated deployment?

Accepted Answer

ConnectMyAssets is delivered as a single hardened OVA file. It is compatible with VMware vSphere and ESXi, Hyper-V, Proxmox VE, and other OVA-compatible hypervisors. Bare metal deployment is also available for environments that do not use virtualization. The appliance is operational within a day of import, with no additional configuration required on the host system.

Question 4

Can ConnectMyAssets manage OT and industrial networks in an isolated environment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ConnectMyAssets supports industrial and OT network equipment including Siemens, Schneider Electric, and other ICS vendors alongside traditional IT network devices. In isolated OT environments, it collects configurations via SSH, SNMP, or vendor-specific protocols without requiring any outbound connectivity from the OT network. This makes it suitable for nuclear and energy infrastructure, manufacturing, and defense OT networks where strict segmentation from the internet is required.

Question 5

How are software and CVE database updates delivered without internet access?

Accepted Answer

ConnectMyAssets provides two update mechanisms for isolated networks. Platform updates are delivered as new signed OVA images that you import on your own schedule, giving you full control over upgrade timing. CVE database updates are delivered as signed offline packages that you transfer to the appliance via your internal file distribution process, such as a USB drive, an internal file share, or a controlled air transfer. You decide when and how to apply updates.

Question 6

What security certifications or accreditations does ConnectMyAssets support for classified environments?

Accepted Answer

ConnectMyAssets is deployed as a hardened on-premises appliance with no telemetry, no vendor access, and no external dependencies, which is the foundation for operating in classified or accredited environments. The appliance ships as a minimal hardened VM image with only required services enabled. For organizations pursuing formal accreditation, ConnectMyAssets provides configuration documentation, deployment guides, and network architecture diagrams required by security review bodies. Specific accreditation pathways depend on your national regulatory framework.
