Security and Acceptable Use PolicyThis page describes the Ministry of Defence (MOD) policy governing the use of its external Internet resources by MOD staff and by general internet users. All MOD information systems are liable to a recording and monitoring system intended to maintain security and to ensure that MOD internet services remain available to all users. This system includes automated and manual audit procedures to identify unauthorised attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. MOD Websites are published under the authority of the Secretary of State for Defence, and contain information approved for release to the general public. They are bound by the Copyright regulations laid down elsewhere on this site. Unauthorised attempts to upload information or change information on these services are strictly prohibited and are punishable under the Computer Misuse Act 1990. All MOD internet mail servers are configured to prevent their use as open mail relays. Any attempt by non-authorised personnel to use these servers will be treated as misuse. Any suspected abusive email from a genuine or forged MOD address should be reported to your local MOD authority. The practice of sending unsolicited bulk mail ("spam") or e-mail floods ("mailbombing") to MOD addressees may be considered as an attempt to cause a denial of service. This will be considered as a serious security matter that may be followed up with the postmaster of the originating address. ContactsThe UK Ministry of Defence has established procedures whereby any security relevant matter affecting its external Internet services, such as use of these resources in a manner contrary to the Usage Policy, should be passed to an appropriate authority for investigation.
