F.A.Q.
General AI Questions
Understanding the basics of artificial intelligence
How reliable is AI?+
AI reliability depends on several factors: training data quality, model architecture, and usage context. Modern models like those deployed by AEGIS IA achieve high accuracy rates (>90%) for specialized tasks. However, no AI is infallible - which is why our solutions include human validation mechanisms for critical decisions.
Why choose local AI over cloud?+
Local AI guarantees complete data sovereignty: nothing leaves your infrastructure. Benefits: absolute confidentiality, native GDPR compliance, no vendor lock-in, minimal latency, predictable costs. Ideal for sensitive data (healthcare, legal, finance, R&D).
What is the energy consumption of local AI?+
Our solutions are optimized for energy efficiency. AEGIS COMPACT: ~15W (less than a light bulb). AEGIS WORKSTATION: 150-250W (comparable to gaming PC). AEGIS FORTRESS: 800W-1.2kW (streamlined via intelligent management). Far less than equivalent cloud datacenter.
How does AEGIS IA protect my data?+
Multiple protection layers: (1) No data leaves your premises, (2) AES-256 encryption at rest, (3) Network isolation (air-gap possible), (4) Optional Faraday cage (FORTRESS), (5) BeamReactor sanitization to eliminate injections, (6) Complete audit logs. Native GDPR/HDS compliance.
Can I train the AI on my own data?+
Yes! WORKSTATION and higher ranges allow fine-tuning on your proprietary data. We provide tools and documentation to adapt models to your specific domain. Training supervised by our engineers available (separate service).

What makes you different?+
22 years of expertise in secure development, 13 years in AI, real technical mastery, and (almost) zero commercial bullshit.
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
It adds an essential extra layer of protection by requiring additional identity verification. This ensures that even if your password is stolen, a third party cannot access your data. It is the most effective defense against identity theft and account hacking.
How to set up two-factor authentication?+
To secure your account, two steps are required. Registered users must log in to the main BeamReactor interface. Click the "profile" button at the top left to access your settings. At the bottom, you will find a 2FA QR code to scan with an app like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. Backup codes will be provided: make sure to copy them down to recover your account in case of phone loss or theft.
How do I log in with two-factor authentication?+
Log in with your username and password on the BeamReactor website. The system will then ask you for a code, which you will find in the Authenticator app on your phone.
What are the requirements?+
Update your phone's operating system and the Google or Microsoft Authenticator app to their latest versions. If you cannot log in but still have access to your registered email, try changing your password. If you lack email access, contact us via the support form.
What if I forgot my password?+
You can reset it at any time by clicking the "Account inaccessible?" link on the login page.
What if my phone is lost or broken?+
Use one of the backup codes provided during your 2FA registration. On the authentication page, click on "Backup code", enter it, and then update your 2FA settings in your profile once logged in.
What if I change my phone or system?+
New device, new system, reinstall after a format: the procedure is the same as for a lost phone. Use your backup codes to log in, then synchronize your new device via your user profile.
Why is two-factor authentication implemented?+
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an essential layer of protection by requiring additional proof of identity. It ensures that even if your password is stolen, your data remains inaccessible to third parties. It is the most effective defense against identity theft and account hacking.
