Network and software auditing
Patch management
GFI LANguard N.S.S.’s auditing function tells you all you need
know about your network – what USB devices are connected,
what software is installed, any open shares, open ports and
weak passwords in use. The solution’s in-depth reports gives
you an important and real-time snapshot of your network’s
status. Scan results can be easily analyzed using filters and
reports, enabling you to proactively secure the network by
closing ports, deleting users or groups no longer in use or
disabling wireless access points.
Automatically receive alerts of new security holes
GFI LANguard N.S.S. can perform scheduled scans (for
instance daily or weekly) and can automatically compare
results to previous scans. Any new security holes or security
setup changes discovered on your network are emailed to you
for analysis. This enables you to quickly identify newly-created
shares, installed services, installed applications, added users,
newly-opened ports and more.
Scan and retrieve OS data from Linux systems
It is possible to remotely extract OS data from Linux-based
systems and scan results are presented in the same way as
for Windows-based computers. This means that both Linux
and Windows-based computers can be analyzed in a single
scanning session! GFI LANguard N.S.S. includes numerous
Linux security checks including rootkit detection. GFI LANguard
N.S.S. can use SSH Private Key files instead of the
conventional password string credentials to authenticate to
Linux-based target computers.
When a scan is complete, GFI LANguard N.S.S. gives you all
the functionality and tools you need to effectively install and
manage patches on all machines across different operating
system platforms and 38 languages. GFI LANguard also allows
auto-downloads of missing patches as well as patch roll-back.
Custom software can also be deployed. This results in a
consistently configured environment that is secure against all
vulnerabilities.
Automatically deploy network-wide patch and service
pack management

service packs and patches network-wide. GFI LANguard N.S.S.
is the ideal tool to monitor that Microsoft WSUS is doing its
job properly and it performs tasks WSUS does not such as

LANguard N.S.S. also provides you with new features such
as patch auto-download and patch rollback. It is also Unicode
compliant and able to support patch management in all the 38
languages currently supported by Microsoft.
Deploys custom/third party software and patches
network-wide
Besides deploying patches and service packs, GFI LANguard
N.S.S. enables you to easily deploy third party software or
patches network-wide.You can use this feature to deploy client
software, update custom or non-Microsoft software, virus
updates and more. The custom software deployment feature
means you can do without Microsoft SMS, which is too complex
and expensive for small to medium sized networks.
