Deployment Options
Protecto supports SaaS and on-premises deployments. Both expose identical APIs — the difference is where Protecto runs and who operates it.
Protecto supports two primary deployment models: SaaS and On-Premises / Private Cloud. Both expose the same API surface and behavior, so your application logic does not change regardless of which model you use.
