Method and system for providing immunity to computers

摘要

A method and system for providing immunity to a computer system wherein the system includes an immunity module, a recovery module, a maintenance module, an assessment module, and a decision module, wherein the immunity module, the recovery module, the maintenance module and the assessment module are each linked to the decision module. The maintenance module monitors the system for errors and sends an error alert message to the assessment module, which determines the severity of the error and the type of package required to fix the error. The assessment module sends a request regarding the type of package required to fix the error to the recovery module. The recovery module sends the package required to fix the error to the maintenance module, which fixes the error in the system.

1. An automated method for providing immunization to a computer system, the automated method comprising:
automatically generating packages by an immunity module, wherein the packages are based on simulated errors created by an error creation component and a packaging component; automatically storing said generated packages in an alternate recovery module; automatically monitoring the system for errors by a maintenance module; upon discovering an error by the maintenance module during its monitoring, automatically sending an error alert message from the maintenance module to an assessment module; automatically determining the severity of the error by the assessment module; automatically determining the type of package required to fix the error by the assessment module; automatically sending a request regarding the type of required package from the assessment module to a recovery module, wherein the recovery module is the alternate recovery module if no other recovery module has the required package; automatically sending the package required to fix the error from the recovery module to the maintenance module; automatically fixing the error in the system; categorizing the error as either severe or non-severe; and sending the request regarding the package required to fix the error to an emergency recovery component of the recovery module if the error is severe, or sending the request regarding the package required to fix the error to a local recovery component of the recovery module if the error is not severe.
