METHOD FOR MANAGING HOST OF ACTIVE NETWORK NODE USING ACTIVE SENSOR AND SYSTEM USING THE SAME

摘要

A method for managing a host in an active network node using active sensors and a system thereof are provided to execute host management at a small outlay and strengthen internal security by reflecting the virus and spam requirements of all hosts through an active network node, without the necessity of installing a dedicated anti-virus/anti-spam system, and executing a suitable patch through checking for weaknesses of an OS(Operating System). An active network node, connected to a host, collects information related to system security from active sensors which work in the host(S310). Based on the collected security-associated information, the active network node forwards a necessary patch file to the host and instructs the host to make up for weak points(S320). The active sensors download the patch file, drive it, and execute necessary updates.
