Effective date: October 28, 2026
These terms govern your use of theirisnetwork.org, the publication of The Iris Network. By reading or using the site, you accept them. They are deliberately short — this is an editorial site, not a service you sign contracts with.
What This Site Is
The Iris Network publishes analysis and commentary on cybersecurity, network infrastructure, automation and related technology trends. Access to the published content is free and requires no account.
Content Is Informational, Not Advice
Our articles discuss security architectures, network designs, tooling and operational practices. They are written for a professional audience as general information and opinion, not as engineering, security or legal advice for your specific environment. Networks differ, threat models differ, and an approach that is sound in one context can be harmful in another. Evaluate everything against your own requirements — and test in a lab before production — before acting on anything you read here. We accept no responsibility for outcomes of applying the material on this site.
Intellectual Property
Unless stated otherwise, the articles, original images and design of this site are the property of The Iris Network. You may read, link to, and quote from our work with attribution and a link back to the original article. You may not republish articles in full, present our work as your own, or use site content to train or market a competing commercial product without written permission. Trademarks and product names mentioned in articles belong to their respective owners; their appearance here does not imply affiliation or endorsement.
Contacting Us
The site has no comments or user submissions. If you email us at [email protected], we will use your message only to respond, and you keep ownership of what you write. We may decline to reply to messages that are spam, abusive, unlawful, or that disclose someone else’s private information, including working exploits for unpatched vulnerabilities in third-party systems. You are responsible for what you send.
Acceptable Use
Do not attempt to disrupt the operation of this site, probe or attack its infrastructure, scrape it at abusive volumes, or send spam or malicious content to our email address. Ordinary reading, linking, RSS use and search-engine indexing are all fine.
Email and Privacy
We do not run a newsletter. You can ask us to delete any email correspondence at any time by writing to [email protected], and we will do so per the Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Links
Articles link to external sites — vendor documentation, research papers, tools. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, availability or practices. A link is a citation, not an endorsement.
No Warranty and Limitation of Liability
The site and its content are provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness or fitness for a particular purpose. Technology moves quickly and published analysis can become outdated. To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Iris Network will not be liable for any indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising from use of the site or reliance on its content.
Changes and Termination
We may update these terms, change site features, or discontinue any part of the site at any time. Updated terms take effect when posted here, with the effective date revised above. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.

Questions about these terms can be sent to [email protected], as listed on the contact page.
