Abstract:
1. A computer-readable, non-transitory medium recording a security management program for managing security of jobs submitted via a network, wherein the security management program causes a computer to function as: a sender decision unit, responsive to a request to execute a job including a program, to determine whether or not the program has been transmitted from a reliable device, by comparing an identification of a sender of the job with those indicated in reliable device information indicating identification of reliable devices; a job manager to store the program of the job in a storage device and output a start request specifying the program; a safety decision unit to cause an operating system to execute the start request while omitting virus checking of the program when it is judged by the sender decision unit that the program specified by the start request output from the job manager has been transmitted from a reliable device, and output a virus check request when it is judged by the sender decision unit that the program specified by the start request has been transmitted from a device other than the reliable devices; and a virus checker, responsive to the virus check request output from the safety decision unit, to read out the program specified by the start request from the storage device, execute a code check process for ascertaining that the program does not contain a code sequence included in a known virus, and, when the code sequence is not contained, cause the operating system to execute the start request.
