How does Deep Security Manager (DSM) handle software updates?

Deep Security Manager (DSM) handles software updates in a way that involves communication with the Relay. When a new software version is available, DSM loads the new software and instructs the Relay to retrieve it. This approach allows for a more centralized update process where the Relay can manage the deployment of updates to the agents installed on various protected systems. This mechanism not only streamlines the update process across multiple endpoints but also minimizes the workload on the DSM itself.

By utilizing a Relay, DSM ensures that not every agent needs to communicate directly with the Manager for updates, which can optimize bandwidth and reduce the risk of overwhelming the DSM with update requests. This setup is particularly beneficial in larger environments, as it allows for efficient updates while maintaining control over the software deployment process.

The other options suggest various methods of handling updates that do not align with the designed functionality of DSM and its integration with Relay systems.
