GFI LanGuard
Identifies vulnerabilities and applies missing patches across managed devices.
"For organisations needing centralised vulnerability scanning and patch management across predominantly on‑prem Windows estates."
Scan and patch network vulnerabilities
Many small IT teams struggle to maintain visibility and consistency across devices. Missing OS and third‑party updates, open ports and misconfigurations create exploitable gaps that increase risk.
GFI LanGuard enables discovery, inventory and vulnerability assessment across managed hosts, and automates patch deployment so teams can close known security gaps and produce evidence for internal checks.
Where GFI LanGuard is used
Identify missing OS and third‑party patches across Windows, macOS and Linux endpoints and prioritise remediation. Perform regular vulnerability scans to detect open ports, service issues and known CVE‑class problems.
Deploy and control patches centrally or via agents, with the ability to select installs and roll back when needed. Generate automated reports to support security and data‑protection evidence.
Fits within these solutions
Suitable environments
Suitable for small and medium businesses, MSPs and IT support firms that manage largely on‑prem Windows estates with limited security staff. It fits environments that need centralised visibility, inventory and automated patching rather than bespoke managed services.
Benefits
Improved visibility
See hardware and software inventory and map where vulnerabilities exist across managed hosts.
Reduced exposure
Close known security gaps by identifying and applying missing patches across devices.
Faster remediation
Automated scanning and deployment reduce the time between detection and patching.
Consistent patching
Apply updates centrally to standardise patch levels and avoid reliance on individual users.
Compliance reporting
Generate automated reports to help demonstrate patching and vulnerability status for audits.
Less manual effort
Reduce repetitive tasks through automated discovery, scanning and patch deployment.

Applications
Server & workstation patching
Keep on‑prem Windows servers and workstations up to date by identifying and deploying required patches.
MSP patch services
MSPs can use centralised scanning and deployment to deliver patching as part of support contracts.
Pre‑audit checks
Run scans and produce reports to identify gaps before security or data‑protection assessments.
Third‑party patching
Detect and apply updates for common third‑party applications alongside OS updates.
Support for small IT teams
Provide centralised tools to compensate for limited in‑house security resources and staff.
Discover unmanaged devices
Locate devices such as printers, VMs and BYOD that may be missing security updates.
