The tool combines vulnerability scanning, patch management and network and software auditing into one solution that enables IT professionals to scan, detect, assess and correct potential security risks on their networks with minimal administrative effort.

GFI LANguard provides administrators the ability to inventory devices attached to their networks; receive change alerts, such as notification when a new application is installed; ensure antivirus applications are current and enabled; and strengthen compliance with industry regulations through automated patch management that defends against potential network vulnerabilities. The solution can manage of up to 5,000 machines from a single console.

Quick text search – enables administrators to perform keyword searches in scan results to quickly and easily ensure specific actions were performed.

Faster security scanning – uses local agents to automate and distribute the scanning load across client machines, resulting in faster and more accurate scans. Thousands of machines, even in Wide Area Network (WAN) environments, can be scanned in minutes.
