# Add a Local Model

If a model file is stored on your local system, you can upload it to the AI Security Platform to be scanned by the Model Scanner.

Concurrent Scans
Four concurrent scans is the maximum allowed for a tenant by default. Concurrent scans is the combined total of all SaaS scans, like Local and Community scans. Adding more model files while scans are in progress will put the unscanned files in a queue and process when resources are available. The concurrent scan limit can be increased for your tenant by submitting a request through HiddenLayer’s Customer Support portal or by emailing Support at [support@hiddenlayer.com](mailto:support@hiddenlayer.com).
