Set up Claudebot with maximum security while maintaining functionality

Anyone wanting to use Claudebot with sensitive data access

2-3 days initial setup

What Success Looks Like

Functional AI assistant with access to needed systems but protected against prompt injection and unauthorized access

Steps to Execute

1

Start with local Docker deployment, not VPS

2

Begin without email access to test security

3

Use only premium models (Opus, not Haiku) for security-sensitive tasks

4

Implement manual email integration (no automatic webhooks)

5

Set up cron jobs instead of real-time email processing

6

Test prompt injection resistance before expanding access

7

Gradually expand system access after security validation

Checklist

Dockerized deployment configured
No VPS ports exposed unnecessarily
Email webhooks disabled
Premium models selected for sensitive tasks
Prompt injection tests passed
Access logs monitored
Backup security measures in place

Inputs Needed

  • Local machine with Docker capability
  • Claudebot installation files
  • API keys for premium models
  • Test email accounts for security validation

Outputs

  • Secure AI assistant setup
  • Documented security configuration
  • Tested prompt injection defenses
  • Monitored access patterns

Example

“User sets up Claudebot in Docker, tests with dummy data, validates prompt injection defenses, then gradually adds email access with manual triggers only”
