Patch management: Fix vulnerabilities before an attack

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, reducing the time required to patch machines on your network. GFI LanGuard patches Microsoft ®, Mac® OS X®, Linux® and more than 60 third-party applications, and deploys both security and non-security patches.

 Network auditing: Analyze your network centrally

GFI LanGuard provides a detailed analysis of the state of your network. This includes applications or default configurations posing a security risk. GFI LanGuard also gives you a complete picture of installed applications; hardware on your network; mobile devices that connect to the Exchange servers; the state of security applications (antivirus, anti-spam, firewalls, etc.); open ports; and any existing shares and services running on your machines.

Vulnerability assessment: Discover security threats early

More than 60,000 vulnerability assessments are carried out across your networks, including virtual environments, mobile and network devices. 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 and address how to take action before it is compromised.

• Patch management across multiple operating systems. GFI LanGuard is compatible with Microsoft®, Mac OS X® and Linux®, operating systems, as well as many third-party applications. Scan your network automatically or on demand. Auto-download missing patches or roll-back patches.

• Integrates with third-party security app. GFI LanGuard integrates with more than 4,000 critical security applications, including: antivirus, anti-spyware, firewall, anti-phishing, backup client, VPN client, URL filtering, patch management, web browser, instant messaging, peer-to-peer, disk encryption, data loss prevention and device access control. It provides status reports and lists of instant messaging or peer-to-peer applications installed on your network. It also rectifies any issues that require attention such as triggering antivirus or anti-spyware updates.

• Know what’s happening on your network. GFI LanGuard's network auditing gives you a comprehensive view of your network – including connected USB devices smartphones and tablets, as well as installed software, open shares, open ports, weak passwords and any hardware information. Secure your network by closing ports, deleting obsolete users or disabling wireless access points.

• Network and software auditing. Security audits. The interactive dashboard provides a summary of the current network security status and a history of all relevant changes in the network over time. Drill down through information, from network-wide security sensors to individual security scan results.

• Manage reporting. Reports can be exported to popular formats like PDF, HTML, XLS, XLSX, RTF and CSV, and can be scheduled and sent by email. They can also be used as a template to create new custom reports and are fully re-brandable.

• Run agent-less or agent-based modes. GFI LanGuard can be configured to run in agent-less or agent-based mode. Agent technology enables automated network security audits and distributes the scanning load across client machines.
