GFI LanGuard
Network discovery, vulnerability scanning and patch management for supported systems.
For networks needing a central view of devices, missing patches and identified vulnerabilities.
Find vulnerabilities and manage patches across the network
Networks can contain computers, servers, virtual machines and network devices that need to be identified before patching gaps can be assessed. Missing patches are only part of the picture; open ports and system information can also reveal non-patch vulnerabilities.
GFI LanGuard discovers connected devices, groups them for management, and scans for missing patches across supported operating systems, browsers and third-party software. It also identifies non-patch vulnerabilities, supports selected patch deployment and rollback, and produces automated network security reports.
Where GFI LanGuard is used
GFI LanGuard is suited to reviewing connected devices and identifying missing patches across Windows, Mac and Linux systems. It also supports patching work where administrators need to select patches for central deployment, deploy agents to individual machines, or roll back a patch after an issue is found. Its reporting functions provide network security reports for compliance requirements.
Fits within these solutions
Suitable environments
GFI LanGuard applies to networks containing Windows, Mac and Linux systems. Its discovery covers computers, servers, virtual machines, routers, switches, printers and mobile devices, providing a central view of identified network-connected devices.
Benefits
Central Network View
Brings discovered network-connected devices together in a central management dashboard.
Broader Patch Coverage
Identifies missing patches across supported operating systems, browsers and third-party software.
Patch Change Recovery
Allows problematic installed patches to be rolled back after they are identified.
Reporting Records
Provides automated network security reports to support compliance requirements.
Capabilities
Network Device Discovery
Discovers connected computers, mobile devices, printers, servers, virtual machines, routers and switches.
Central Device Groups
Groups discovered devices and presents them through a central management dashboard.
Missing Patch Scans
Scans operating systems, web browsers and third-party software for missing patches.
Non-Patch Vulnerability Checks
Identifies non-patch vulnerabilities using known issues, open ports and system information.
Patch Deployment
Centrally deploys selected patches or deploys agents on individual machines.
Patch Rollback
Controls installed patches and rolls back patches when problems are found.
Security Reporting
Generates automated network security reports for compliance requirements.
Common Use Cases
Network Asset Review
Discover and group connected devices before reviewing their patch and vulnerability status.
Missing Patch Assessment
Scan supported systems, browsers and third-party software for missing patches.
Vulnerability Review
Review known issues, open ports and collected system information for non-patch vulnerabilities.
Patch Deployment Work
Deploy selected patches centrally or use agents on individual machines.
Compliance Reporting
Generate automated network security reports for compliance requirements.
