  • Patent number: 7725735
    Abstract: A system and method enhancing source code management with existing virus detection methods in a library management system to detect potentially malicious code. Malicious code that is introduced into a software product may be detected before the code is able to damage stored data and other software by preventing a product build with the malicious code. Source code received at a code management library system from a set of software developers in a collaborative development environment is moved into a staging area. A determination is made in the staging area as to whether malicious code exists in the source code. If malicious code exists, the library management system does not forward the source code to the software product build and notifies a system administrator of the presence of the malicious code.

  • Patent number: 7640587
    Abstract: A repair mechanism within a code management library system for repairing build code that is infected with malicious code. When a virus pattern is detected in a component of a source code, other components in the source code containing dependencies upon the first component are identified. This identification may be based on rules defined from relationships between the infected component and the other components in the source code. The component and the other components that are identified as having dependencies upon the infected component are retracted from the software product build. The infected component and the other identified components are then replaced with a previous archive of the code build. The software product build of the source code may then be performed.

  • Patent number: 7523357
    Abstract: A monitoring system and method. The monitoring system receives specified rules related to at least one component within a computing system. The monitoring system receives first data comprising information related to at least one component within a computing system. The monitoring system comprises a repository. The first data is stored within the repository. The first data is analyzed by the monitoring system using specified rules to determine a first health status of the at least one component. The monitoring server indicates for a user the first health status.
