Job Management Partner 1/Client Security Control Description, User's Guide and Operator's Guide

7.1 Managing inventory information

When inventory information such as software information and security update information is updated on a client, the client notifies JP1/Software Distribution Manager of the information. This inventory information is then reflected in the asset management database of AIM.

The security level of a client is judged according to the security policy, based on the latest inventory information reflected in the asset management database.

The following figure shows the flow of inventory information collection, and the flow in which a client security level is judged based on this inventory information.
