Abstract
An approach for automatically and securely updating software on a virtual machine (VM) is presented. A current version of the software on the VM is determined to not match an updated version of the software. With a proxy update server connected to a network and without the VM being connected to the network, the updated version of the software is downloaded, stored and pushed to the VM by using a virtualized mounted drive, the updated version is installed on the VM to replace the current version, and a confirmation indicating the installation is received. An update of the software is provided dynamically via a connectivity of the proxy update server to the network while the VM is prevented from being infected with a virus that requires a connection to the VM through the network.
