# Introduction {% embed url="" fullWidth="false" %} Replica helps you deploy secure work environments quickly. It lets you stay productive while reducing exposure during online activity. Replica is a SaaS web application. You can access it from any modern web browser. No special hardware or local software is required. This guide covers the core features available to general users. Your organization may also provide training for workflows or customizations specific to your environment. Contact Replica if you need documentation for other roles, such as administrators. {% hint style="info" %} The features available to you depend on your permissions and your organization's subscription. Some features in this guide may not appear in your environment. {% endhint %} ## Key Concepts These concepts make the rest of the guide easier to follow. **Virtual Environment** Virtual Environments are the main workspace in Replica. You use them to access the internet and run the tools needed for your work. **Attribution/Signature** When you operate online, your browser, operating system, applications, ISP, and device expose details about you. Those details can be combined to track your activity. Replica helps manage those signals for you, providing an anonymous attack surface that protects your organization and identity. **Profile** Profiles control how a user appears from a Virtual Environment. When you assign a profile, Replica applies the related attribution settings automatically. You can reuse the same profile across multiple environments. **Malware** Some Virtual Environments support malware workflows. These may include reverse engineering, static analysis, dynamic analysis, execution, and long-term monitoring. Replica's file management features can also deliver files into the environment, including files that fail virus scanning. **Jobs** Jobs run Virtual Environments on a schedule with scripts or automated tasks. They appear in the Jobs view and are commonly used for repeatable workloads such as web scraping. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
