Abstract:
A solution is proposed for distributing a software product to a set of data processing entities (such as endpoints) in a data processing system; the system includes a set of security applications (such as firewalls), which are adapted to control communications of the entities. A corresponding method starts with the step of determining a target configuration of the security applications for allowing execution of the software product on the entities. A software package (or more), being adapted to enforce the software product and the target configuration, is then built. The method continues by distributing the software package in the system, so as to cause the application of the software package for enforcing the software product on each entity and the target configuration of each security application.
