GFI LanGuard helps SMEs cope with the risks posed from a wide range of network devices, mobile devices and third party apps. GFI LanGuard  provides the ability to conduct vulnerability assessments of those devices connected to popular business services like Exchange servers, Office 365(TM), Google Apps(TM) and Apple(R) Profile Manager. In addition, GFI LanGuard provides automatic patch management for mixed network environments.

GFI LanGuard not only provides visibility as to what applications are installed on network devices, but it also provides the capability to uninstall and remove unauthorized applications (such as games, audio/media streaming applications, illegal sharing/P2P applications) from machines and the network.  This short video describes how users can do this.

GFI LanGuard provides a powerful Dashboard that enables IT Administrators to view the devices in their network and the mobile devices attached to the Microsoft Exchange servers, providing information as to their security status, an overview of their vulnerabilities, patch status, open ports, software and applications which are installed, the status of critical security applications like antivirus, antispyware and firewalls, amongst others. This short video shows a user how to use the dashboard.

This short video shows a GFI LanGuard user how to use the 'Remediate Section' to take actions such as deploying or rolling back updates (both security and non-security ones), deploying custom software, scripts and uninstalling unauthorized applications.

GFI LanGuard provides extensive reporting capability that allows a user to run preconfigured or customized reports based on their specific requirements, ranging from an executive network security overview and full technical audit to dedicated reports for different compliance regulations, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, PSN CoCo and more. This short video shows you how to use the reporting features to best effect.

Not only does GFI LanGuard provide IT administrators with the ability to discover which devices are connected to the network, it can also provide granular visibility of the applications that are either currently installed on network devices, or even have been in the past. GFI LanGuard ships with a number of predefined software categories that can help to easily locate and group applications by functional category, e.g. antivirus or firewalls. This short video shows a user how to do this.
