GFI LANguard is much more than a patch management product though. Any patch management solution will scan your network for missing patches. GFI LANguard raises the bar by also scanning the network for other types of potential security vulnerabilities.
The nice part about this feature is that you don't have to do any extra work to perform a full-blown security scan against your network. When you scan your network for missing patches, GFI LANguard will also check for things like open shares, open ports, and unused user accounts. The software also checks for security vulnerabilities related to audit policies, password policies, user accounts, groups, and computers.
When the scan is complete, GFI LANguard offers a dozen different reports that you can view. Many of these reports pertain specifically to security vulnerabilities that have been detected. Best of all, reports exist that focus solely on specific types of vulnerabilities. For example, you can choose to look at only the most serious security vulnerabilities, or to look only at vulnerabilities pertaining to your password policies.
