Abstract

A security management apparatus and method are provided. The security management apparatus includes a user authentication unit, a packet inspection unit, a packet extraction unit, a file analysis unit, and an agent generation unit. The user authentication unit receives user information from a terminal of a user, and performs a user authentication procedure. The packet inspection unit inspects a packet based on rules, and transfers the inspected packet to a destination over the Internet. The packet extraction unit recognizes a specific protocol in a packet transferred to the destination or a packet returned from the destination and extracts a file based on the results of the recognition. The file analysis unit determines whether or not the extracted file is a malicious file. If the extracted file is the malicious file, the agent generation unit generates a malware removal agent, and removes malware by executing the malware removal agent.
