SECURITY MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A security management device for managing the security of a plurality of virtual machines, which is a virtual computer environment that a physical client provides to a user terminal, the security management device comprising:
- a storage device for storing a check policy prescribing either one or a plurality of check items related to a security check for the plurality of virtual machines, and a security check program; and
a Central Processing Unit (CPU) for executing, on the basis of the security check program, a security check for the plurality of virtual machines in accordance with the check policy,wherein the CPU manages, as types of the virtual machines, a master virtual machine, which is constructed on the basis of master information for configuring either part or all of a virtual machine, and an individual virtual machine, which is constructed on the basis of individual information that is configured partially or entirely in accordance with the master information, andwherein the CPU selectively executes the security check for each of the check items for the type of the virtual machine in accordance with contents of the check items.

Abstract
In a case where a master virtual machine, which is constructed on the basis of master information for configuring either part or all of a virtual machine, and an individual virtual machine, which is constructed on the basis of individual information that is configured partially or entirely in accordance with the master information, exist as the types of virtual machines that a physical client provides to a user terminal, a security check of a plurality of virtual machines is selectively executed, with respect to each check item, for a virtual machine of the type corresponding to the contents of the check item.

8. A security management method for managing the security of a plurality of virtual machines, which is a virtual computer environment that a physical client provides to a user terminal, the security management method comprising:
-
a first step for storing a check policy prescribing either one or a plurality of check items related to a security check for the plurality of virtual machines, and a security check program; and a second step for executing, on the basis of the security check program, a security check for the plurality of virtual machines in accordance with the check policy, wherein a master virtual machine, which is constructed on the basis of master information for configuring either part or all of a virtual machine, and an individual virtual machine, which is constructed on the basis of individual information that is configured partially or entirely in accordance with the master information, exist as the types of the virtual machines, and wherein, in the second step, the security check is selectively executed, for each of the check items, for the virtual machine of the type corresponding to contents of the check item. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
