| Popis: | In the corporate environment, we use a variety of software. To increase security, patch management systems are used to manage software patches. This study analyzes existing patch management systems to identify security threats. Furthermore, we utilized blockchain to manage patches safely and efficiently. Using this research, vendors operating patch management systems can connect to the blockchain network to share the verified patch information. It also stores the public key information required to verify the integrity of the patch and the information generated during patch management in the block. This effectively monitors the patch management process. It also reduces patch management costs and improves security. |
