Abstract: Example implementations relate to secure update of firmware and software. For example, a method for providing secure firmware and software updates to a computing system includes receiving, by a management processor, an update request from a management station for the computing system, where the update request comprises update parameters indicative of components to be updated within the computing system. Further, the method includes storing details of the update request including the update parameters at a pre-defined memory location, where the update parameters include at least one certificate associated with the update request. The method also includes accessing, at least one of a firmware image and a software patch corresponding to the update request based on identification of the update parameters stored at the pre-defined memory location by an update manager, where the update manager has predefined access rights and privileges within an Operating System (OS) of the computing system.
