Can I expose Cyclone to public/untrusted users?

Cyclone is designed to run in a trusted environment where users can be trusted to not attempt to run malicious code. Although, it is possible to expose Cyclone to untrusted users, it comes at a big risk as there is danger in running unvetted code in your network. You may choose to specify  rule(s) in your servlet container policy file to control access given to a job, but it requires intimate knowledge of Cyclone operations to ensure the rules do nnot interfere with Cyclone core operations.
