Scan, detect, assess, and rectify security vulnerabilities

GFI LanGuard, the award-winning solution trusted by businesses worldwide, is available through First Distribution.

It allows you to scan, detect, assess, and rectify security vulnerabilities in your network and connected devices – providing a complete picture of your network and helping maintain security with minimal effort.

Patch management

GFI LanGuard enables complete patch management of security and non-security patches to Microsoft operating systems, Mac OS X, major Linux distributions, and third-party applications.

It can also automate patching for all major web browsers too.

It supports many popular third-party applications such as Apple QuickTime®, Adobe® Acrobat®, Adobe® Flash® Player, Adobe® Reader®, Shockwave® Player, Mozilla Firefox®, Mozilla Thunderbird®, Java™ Runtime, and many more.

Vulnerability assessment

Security audits check for over 60,000 vulnerability assessments using an extensive, industrial strength vulnerabilities database incorporating OVAL (11,500+ checks) and SANS Top 20 standards.

Innovative agent technology allows the scanning and remediation load to be distributed across machines.

Particularly useful in enterprise networks. Vulnerability scans are multi-platform (Windows, Mac OS, Linux™) and virtual machines are also supported.

Additionally, GFI LanGuard can audit smart phones and tablets, printers, switches and routers from manufacturers such as HP, Cisco®, 3Com, Dell, SonicWALL, Juniper, NETGEAR, Nortel, Alcatel, IBM D-Link, and Linksys.

A graphical threat level indicator provides an intuitive, weighted assessment of the vulnerability status of your infrastructure.

Any detected vulnerabilities can be managed by selecting to remediate, ignore, acknowledge, or re-categorize as appropriate.

Network auditing

Once you have scanned for vulnerabilities and patched your systems, you can use the GFI LanGuard auditing function to learn everything about your network’s security status.

Audits can include checking for connected USB devices, smartphones and tablets, software types and versions, the number of open shares, open ports, weak passwords, users or groups no longer in use and the security health status of Linux systems on your network.

Dashboards

Alongside the standard GFI LanGuard product interface, the product also includes a web based reporting interface that allows administrators to be able to check the status of their network security from any Internet connected device in the world.

Customers with large networks can install multiple GFI LanGuard instances and one Web Console that provides centralized view and aggregated reporting across all instances. This allows for virtually unlimited scalability.

It also integrates directly with Active Directory for credentials and authentication and customers can configure different users with different usage rights.

GFI LanGuard also supports extensive reporting, including technical, managerial and compliance standard-specific reports (PCI-DSS, HIPAA, CIPA, SOX, etc.).
