Cloud Computing and Data Center Services

Users shall take all commercially reasonable precautions to ensure that their physical and/or virtual servers do not become compromised. A compromised server is one that has been accessed or manipulated by any third party not authorized by the User or ENA. As a compromised server is potentially disruptive to the ENA services platform and the ENA network, and therefore to other ENA customers. ENA, at its sole discretion, may remove or disable access to any Services that violate this policy. ENA will take every effort, but does not assume the obligation, to notify the affected User in a timely manner prior to suspending Services. The Services will continue to remain offline and all access to and use of the server will continue to be suspended until the issue is resolved to ENA’s satisfaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a compromised server is actively attacking other infrastructure components or networks or otherwise disrupting the ENA cloud computing platform, ENA network, and/or other ENA customers, ENA reserves the right to act to protect the integrity of its infrastructure and will suspend or permanently terminate access to and use of such compromised server immediately without prior notice to customer.

 
Security

You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account information, as well as the security of your network. You must adopt adequate security measures to prevent unauthorized use of your network or account. It is your responsibility to ensure that your network is configured in a secure manner, and you may not permit your network, through action or inaction, to be configured in such a way that a third party may use your network in an illegal or inappropriate manner. You agree immediately to notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security known to you. Should any of your systems be violated, you are responsible for reporting the violation and then fixing the exploited system.
