Abstract
A method and system for updating anti-intrusion software is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a computer program product updates anti-intrusion software on a computer network which has an anti-intrusion monitor server. The anti-intrusion monitor server recognizes attacks on the computer network in accordance with attack pattern information contained in the anti-intrusion software. The computer program product includes computer code that installs modified attack pattern information onto a central anti-intrusion server, and computer code that transfers the modified attack pattern information from the central anti-intrusion server to the anti-intrusion monitor server using push technology. The result is that newly discovered attack patterns are capable of being rapidly communicated from the central anti-intrusion server to the computer network.
