Zusammenfassung:A system and method is provided for changing parameter values of a computer system without changing security properties. An exemplary method includes receiving a request to change a system configuration of the computer system and identifying a parameter relating to system configurations based on the received request. Furthermore, based on the identified parameter, the method includes receiving instructions to change the identified at least one parameter and initiating a transaction to change the identified at least one parameter based on the received instructions. The initiated transaction is then analyzed to determine whether the change to the parameter will lower a security level of the computer system. If not, the method will execute the change of the identified parameter related to the system configuration.
