Patch management  is vital to your business. Network security breaches are most commonly caused by missing network patches. GFI LanGuard scans and detects network vulnerabilities before they are exposed and reduces the time required to patch machines on your network. GFI LanGuard patches Microsoft ®, Mac® OS X® and other third-party operating systems and applications; and deploys both security and non-security patches.

GFI LanGuard provides a detailed analysis of what is happening on your network – which applications or default configurations are posing a security risk. GFI LanGuard gives you a complete picture of installed applications, hardware on your network, the state of security applications (antivirus, anti-spam, firewalls, etc.), open ports, and any existing shares and services running on your machines.

More than 50,000 vulnerability assessments are carried out across your networks, including virtual environments. GFI LanGuard scans your operating systems, virtual environments and installed applications through vulnerability check databases such as OVAL and SANS Top 20. GFI LanGuard enables you to analyze the state of your network security, identify risks to the network, determine its degree of exposure, and address how to take action before it is compromised.
