Secure software release updates across a network
The patent US12041072B2 outlines a method and system for securely updating software releases across a network. The process begins with the compilation of a transaction log that identifies nodes receiving the software release. The method involves analyzing the software files for vulnerabilities, identifying any files that pose risks, and determining the nodes where these files are deployed. A corrective action is then analyzed to ensure it does not introduce further risks before being transmitted to the affected nodes. The corrective actions can include generating a new software version, rolling back to a previous version, or downloading a more recent version, among other options.
Additionally, the patent describes the system's capability to notify relevant entities about the corrective actions and receive instructions on the preferred options. The transaction log records detailed information about the software release, including checksums and metadata, which aids in tracking and managing the software updates. The system is designed to analyze files periodically or upon request, ensuring that any vulnerabilities are addressed promptly. Furthermore, it allows for the integration of additional vulnerability information from third-party sources, enhancing the overall security of the software update process.
