GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner description
A complete patch management solution

GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (N.S.S.) is a complete patch management solution.

After it has scanned your network and determined missing patches and service packs - both in the operating system (OS) and in Microsoft applications - GFI LANguard N.S.S. can deploy those service packs and patches network-wide, without user intervention.

GFI LANguard N.S.S. is the ideal companion to Microsoft SUS: Use GFI LANguard NSS to deploy service packs, Microsoft Office patches and patch reporting; and use Microsoft SUS for operating system patches.GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner is a patch management solution.

GFI LANguard supports service pack and application patching for English, Spanish, Italian, French and German versions of Windows NT/2000/2003/XP.

For those who do not want to use Microsoft SUS, GFI LANguard N.S.S. can deploy patches for English versions of Windows NT/2000/2003/XP. English-version Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft ISA Server patches can also be deployed.

GFI LANguard N.S.S. includes a fast TCP/IP and UDP port-scanning engine, allowing you to scan your network for unnecessary open ports. GFI LANguard N.S.S. identifies well-known services (such as www/FTP/telnet/SMTP... ) and also supports "banner grabbing", that is, it queries the port for an application name.
