GFI LanGuard

GFI LanGuard is a service that offers full security patching services and helps automate your scans, actions, repetitive management tasks, and report generation.

As a network administrator, a sysadmin, or anyone who is concerned with the security and management of their devices, taking vulnerabilities into account and assessing risk is mandatory.

Vulnerability patching is the process that involves conducting thorough research and an in-depth analysis of your system. That implies everything — your operating system, applications, your programs' current status, checking for missing components and outdated software, etc. As a result, you uncover vulnerabilities that could allow malicious exploits.

First of all, GFI LanGuard will list and assess all your devices and their missing components. You can use it for all the elements of your network, such as computers (or laptops), mobile devices, tablets, printers, servers, virtual machines, routers, or switches.

Secondly, the program allows scanning different devices and even individual 3rd party apps, browsers, extensions, and additional packages (where alerts are shown, for performing an in-depth analysis). All this data will be listed in the one central management dashboard.

After uncovering your system's issues, GFI LanGuard offers effective, straightforward solutions for protecting your devices and data. How? Well, based on their examinations and accumulated data research about well-known, possibly exploitable issues (such as non-patch vulnerabilities, open ports, system information about users, shared directories, etc), the developers of GFI LanGuard included actionable options and steps to take after scanning your system and network.

You can deploy patches individually or in bulk (centrally), you can assess the impact and perform rollbacks, or use the tool's extensive database for checking the newest Microsoft security updates and vulnerability tests. Moreover, you can automate periodical network security scans, audits, and security measures, or integrate GFI LanGuard with 3rd party security apps, such as anti-spyware and anti-phishing tools, antivirus programs, disk encryption or data loss prevention utilities, and more.

All things considered, GFI LanGuard is an exceptional application that offers advanced means for keeping your system's health and security in optimal condition. Plus, you get access to a fully-packed auditing system that generates PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX, GLB/GLBA, and PSN CoCo compliant reports.
