SECURITY NOTICE: Secure Fabric OS includes security features that you can use, along with other security tools, to design and implement a more secure storage area network ("SAN"), as part of your overall network and information security infrastructure. However, simply installing Secure Fabric OS does not guarantee the security of your SAN or your overall network. There are numerous factors that affect the security of a SAN, including, without limitation, proper security policies and procedures, hardware and software selection (including network security tools), proper installation, configuration, and maintenance of the hardware and software, the interoperability of the various components of your SAN and your network, and a proper, secure operating environment. In addition, Secure Fabric OS utilizes digital certificates in connection with its access control features. Although digital certificates are a useful authentication security measure that improves overall security, they do not guarantee authenticity or security. To help you evaluate the digital certificate functionality of Secure Fabric OS, you can obtain details in the Certificate Practices Statement, which is included with the documentation you received with this product. In designing the security of your SAN, it is your responsibility to evaluate all of these factors to ensure your SAN will meet your security needs. Your experience may vary based on these and other factors. Your use of Secure Fabric OS, including the digital certificates, is subject to and governed by the terms of the applicable license agreement and to your compliance with the policies and procedures for the use of Secure Fabric OS and digital certificates made available to you by Brocade from time to time. If Brocade becomes aware of a breach of the security of its digital certificate infrastructure, Brocade reserves the right to re-issue digital certificates. In that event, you will be required to submit new certificate signing requests and install reissued certificates across your SAN. You should plan for any network disruption that this may cause. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO SUFFICIENT INFORMATION TO ENSURE THAT YOU CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION AS TO THE EXTENT TO WHICH YOU CHOOSE TO RELY ON DIGITAL CERTIFICATES AND OTHER SECURITY FEATURES IN SECURE FABRIC OS ("SECURITY"). THE SECURITY IS PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT. BROCADE SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO YOUR USE OF AND RELIANCE ON THE SECURITY.
