Abstract
Techniques are provided for system protection using verification of software digital identity values. One method comprises obtaining a first software digital identity value for a system, wherein the first software digital identity value aggregates software identifiers of software components of the system at a first time; comparing a second software digital identity value to the first software digital identity value, wherein the second software digital identity value aggregates software identifiers of the plurality of software components of the system at a second time subsequent to the first time; and performing an automated remedial action based on a result of the comparison. The comparison may be performed: (i) when the system attempts to connect to a service over a network and/or (ii) when the system is installed, configured and/or activated at a remote location.
