Abstract

An information processing apparatus stores first software and second software, the first software is stored in a first storage medium accessible by a central processing unit and an embedded controller, and the second software is used to restore the first software and stored in a second storage medium accessible by the embedded controller. The information processing apparatus includes an update unit configured to update the second software using the first software depending on a result of a comparison between version information about the first software and version information about the second software, a falsification detection unit configured to detect whether the first software is falsified; and a restoration unit configured to restore the first software using the second software in a case where the falsification detection unit detects that the first software is falsified.
