SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED MAINTENANCE BASED ON SECURITY LEVELS FOR DOCUMENT PROCESSING DEVICES
First Claim
1. A system for automated maintenance of preselected security levels for document processing devices comprising:
- a network data connection with a plurality of document processing devices;
a server data storage including;
testing software operable to test at for at least one vulnerability when running on at least one of the document processing devices,document processing device software updates,an identifier associated with each of the document processing devices, andsecurity level data corresponding to each identifier;
a test software uploader operable to push the testing software to the at least one document processing device via the network data connection;
a tester operable to receive test result data corresponding to a running of the pushed testing software on the at least one document processing device; and
a software update uploader operable to push at least one device software update to the at least one document processing device in accordance with received test result data and security level data corresponding to the at least one document processing device.

Abstract
The subject application is directed to a system and method for automated maintenance of preselected security levels for document processing devices. A network data connection is established with at least one document processing device of a plurality thereof. At least one document processing device is identified and testing software is pushed to the at least one document processing device so as to commence loading and running thereof. Test result data is received from the at least one document processing device in accordance with a running of the testing software, a security level associated with the at least one document processing device is identified, and updated software is pushed to the at least one document processing device in accordance with received test result data and an identified security level.
