  • Maintain secure systems: Keep software and firmware patched, use strong authentication, and follow secure configuration practices.
  • Report vulnerabilities: If you discover a security vulnerability in our services or systems, report it promptly to support@motechsecurity.com. Do not exploit or publicize the vulnerability before we have a chance to remediate.
  • Cooperate with investigations: Provide reasonable assistance during incident investigations and remediation when necessary.

Acceptable use examples

The following are examples of acceptable activities when using Mo Tech Security services:
