Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available

Malicious code protection mechanisms include anti-virus signature definitions and reputation-based technologies. A variety of technologies and methods exist to limit or eliminate the effects of malicious code. Pervasive configuration management and comprehensive software integrity controls may be effective in preventing execution of unauthorized code. In addition to commercial off-the-shelf software malicious code may also be present in custom-built software. This could include logic bombs back doors and other types of cyber-attacks that could affect organizational missions/business functions. Traditional malicious code protection mechanisms cannot always detect such code. In these situations organizations rely instead on other safeguards including secure coding practices configuration management and control trusted procurement processes and monitoring practices to help ensure that software does not perform functions other than the functions intended.
