CC SecuritySoftware Update and Lifecycle Policy
This policy explains CC Security version identification, update installation, rollback preparation, and end-of-maintenance principles. The current product is experimental endpoint security software. No fixed update schedule, long-term support period, or production service level has been announced. Base upgrade decisions on the actual release documents, rather than an unpublished roadmap.
1 Identifying the Current Version
The current displayed product version is CC Security 26H2-11-10001, and the numeric Windows file version is 26.2.100.1. Only 26H2 appears next to the brand on the Home page, which is insufficient to distinguish builds. View the full version under "Settings" > "About".
Multiple revisions may share the same product version label. The October 22, 2026 EDR command-correlation revision differs from the earlier Windows 10 fix package. Identify them using revision notes, file hashes, or the release manifest. Matching labels do not establish identical package contents.
Core rules, the EDR worker, services, drivers, the interface, and third-party runtimes have their own dependencies. Increases in numeric versions or rule counts do not automatically indicate improved detection rates. Building, installing, loading drivers, and blocking real threats remain separate validation stages.
2 Update Sources and Acquisition
Obtain the complete installer through trusted release channels announced by the CC Security provider, and verify the version, revision, signatures, and SHA256 against the release notes. For mirrored, renamed, or repackaged files of unknown provenance, first contact kelematubako@gmail.com for verification.
Current releases are primarily delivered as complete installers. This policy does not indicate that the Software already has a public automatic-update server, differential upgrades, automatic rule subscriptions, or the ability to remotely push and execute actions. Such features should be considered available only once actually released and documented.
If a later version adds online updates or cloud features, the download source, verification, permissions, and data handling should be explained before activation. This policy alone cannot authorize automatic uploading of data previously processed locally.
3 Preparing for an Upgrade
1. Read the revision's changes and known issues. Confirm that the target Windows environment, administrator privileges, and driver-loading requirements remain applicable.
2. Save your work, complete or stop targeted cleanup, and restore any networking it isolated. Back up settings, necessary evidence, and the entire quarantine directory. Create a usable snapshot or system backup.
3. Retain the current installer and hash for diagnosis and any necessary controlled rollback. Backups must not contain only encrypted quarantine data while omitting keys and metadata.
4. Ensure you will use the complete, matching release payload rather than replacing individual services, workers, or drivers. Updating may require stopping services and restarting the test device.
4 Checks After Installation and Upgrade
The installer attempts to place the old service into maintenance mode and stop the relevant drivers. If it reports that components could not be stopped, the old service's automatic startup has been suspended, or a restart is required, follow the instructions to recover and retry. Avoid manually copying files in a way that conceals mismatches between resident component versions.
After completion, check the build, protection service, real-time protection, the state of enabled EDR functionality, and component connections. Recheck disabled-protection or audit-mode settings in the current interface. Logs and cumulative statistics should reflect actual data. A single green icon does not establish that every path has been validated.
If the new version behaves abnormally, retain the time of occurrence, version, hashes, and sanitized logs. Stop expanding testing before following the troubleshooting guide. Completion of the installer is not an absolute guarantee of actual protection, Windows compatibility, or migration of every historical configuration.
5 Rollback and Data Compatibility
Prefer a complete snapshot or verified data and program backups for rollback. Software directories, services, drivers, and user data may have different compatibility requirements. Older programs may not read newer quarantine formats or settings, and newer programs cannot guarantee repair of corrupted data.
The current EDR revision uses a worker handshake for 16 configurations. Do not mix an older worker using 12 configurations with the newer Hips/Agent. Other components must likewise be updated from the same complete release package. Replacing a single EXE is not a reliable rollback.
Do not delete quarantine data, keys, or network restoration state files to force a rollback through. If rollback involves security risks or old vulnerabilities, first assess recovery feasibility and risk. An older version running successfully does not establish that security has been restored.
6 Security Fixes and Third Party Updates
Vulnerability remediation is assessed according to actual impact, reproducibility, available resources, and upstream dependencies. There is currently no public commitment to a fixed remediation deadline. Issue confirmation, temporary mitigation, and a complete fix should be described separately. Security issues may be reported by email under the Security Vulnerability Disclosure Policy.
Microsoft WebView2, Windows, and other third-party components have their own update mechanisms and maintenance lifecycles. The SDK version in the CC installer is not the device's actual runtime version. A Microsoft runtime update does not mean CC's services, rules, or drivers have been updated at the same time.
Validate compatibility in a test environment before expanding deployment. Do not broadly freeze system security updates to preserve old software, or disable other security products to keep a problematic update running.
7 End of Maintenance and Feature Retirement
When ending maintenance for a branch, operating system version, or component, we should, where feasible, explain the affected scope, available replacement versions, data export or retention methods, and recommended uninstallation steps in official release documents. A long-term support period must not be assumed unless explicitly announced.
End of maintenance may mean that vulnerability fixes, compatibility changes, or new rules are no longer provided. An older version that still runs may have unpatched risks. Assess continued use based on the importance of the device, backups, and other security protection.
Software licenses, third-party open-source obligations, retained data, and user rights that cannot lawfully be waived do not automatically disappear when maintenance ends. Upgrades, retirement, or rebranding cannot retroactively revoke open-source rights you have lawfully acquired.
8 Release Issues and Contact
For update, version mismatch, rollback, or maintenance-lifecycle issues, contact kelematubako@gmail.com. Please provide the product version, revision or hash, operating system build, installation or uninstallation error, and whether you restarted. Do not send passwords, keys, or complete dumps that have not been reviewed.
