Vulnerability discussion

Malicious software detection applications need to be constantly updated in order to identify new threats as they are discovered. All malicious software detection software must come with an update mechanism that automatically updates the application and any associated signature definitions. The organization (including any contractor to the organization) is required to promptly install security-relevant malicious code protection software updates. Examples of relevant updates include anti-virus signatures, detection heuristic rule sets, and/or file reputation data employed to identify and/or block malicious software from executing.Malicious code includes viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and Spyware. This requirement applies to applications providing malicious code protection.
