Organisations often struggle to keep track of software versions and missing updates across many Windows machines. Small IT teams can fall behind on patches and configuration drift, leaving obvious security gaps.
GFI LanGuard scans the estate, inventories devices and reports missing updates and misconfigurations. It also automates patch deployment for supported hosts so teams can target remediation and reduce known vulnerabilities.
Run scheduled scans to detect missing Windows updates and risky configurations, then push approved patches during maintenance windows.
Use inventory and vulnerability reports for licence and asset checks, and export findings into existing ticketing or reporting systems to track remediation.
Best suited to SMBs, MSPs and IT support firms with predominantly on-prem Windows estates and limited security staff. Fits teams that need a single tool to scan, report and apply patches without outsourcing.
