The invention provides a form of reacting on security or vulnerability
information relevant for a system comprising computer software and/or
hardware or electronics, wherein a service provider with a first
subsystem (1) is providing activation tokens to be received by a customer
with a second subsystem (2). The activation tokens including activation
information and naming of system characteristics in machine readable and
filterable manner. The second subsystem (2) comprises receiving means
(11) for controlling the receiving of the activation tokens, checking
means (12) for automatically determining whether the activation
information is relevant for the second subsystem (2) by checking whether
the second subsystem has characteristics corresponding to the naming of
an activation token, and transforming means (13) for transforming
relevant activation information into at least one activation measure for
the second subsystem (2). The activation measures will reduce the
vulnerability of the second subsystem.
