The #1 Network Security Scanner and Vulnerability Management Solution
GFI LANguard™ is the award-winning network and security scanner used by over 20,000 customers. GFI LANguard scans your network and ports to detect, assess and correct security vulnerabilities with minimal administrative effort. As an administrator, you have to deal separately with problems related to vulnerability issues, patch management and network auditing, at times using multiple products. However, with GFI LANguard these three cornerstones of vulnerability management are addressed in one package. We give you a complete picture of your network set-up and help you to maintain a secure network state
faster and more effectively.
Freeware Version Available
To add further value, GFI has now released a freeware version of GFI LANguard, in line with our ‘We Care’ initiative to offer a helping hand in these hard economic times. Using the freeware version, companies can scan up to five IPs for free using the product’s full feature set – with no restrictions whatsoever. Click here for more information.
Vulnerability Management
GFI LANguard performs network scans using vulnerability check databases based on OVAL and SANS Top 20, providing over 15,000 vulnerability assessments when your network, including any virtual environment, is scanned. GFI LANguard allows you to analyze the state of your network security and take action before it is compromised. The latest version detects machines that are vulnerable to infection by the Conficker worm as well as identifying machines that have been infected.
Patch Management
When a network scan is complete, GFI LANguard’s Patch Management gives you what you need to effectively deploy and manage patches on all machines across different Microsoft operating systems and products in 38 languages. Not only can you automatically download missing Microsoft security updates, but you can also automatically deploy the missing Microsoft patches or service-packs throughout your network at the end of scheduled scans.
Network Auditing
GFI LANguard’s Network Auditing tells you all you need to know about your network by retrieving hardware information on memory, processors, display adapters, storage devices, motherboard details, printers, and ports in use. Using baseline comparisons you can check whether any hardware was added or removed since the last scan. GFI LANguard will identify and report unauthorized software installations and provide alerts or even automatically uninstall unauthorized applications.
