# Akto Self Hosted

### Introduction <a href="#introduction" id="introduction"></a>

If you're like us, you probably have a lot of data that is only accessible from your private network (locally or behind your [VPN](https://cybernews.com/what-is-vpn/#how-does-a-vpn-work)). That's why we built the self-hosted version of Akto.

#### How to deploy? <a href="#how-to-deploy" id="how-to-deploy"></a>

Deploy Akto locally or on your own cloud. Choose any of the below options to get started:
