GFI LanGuard - podcast

GFI LanGuard provides essential security insight to IT Administrators, enabling them to quickly audit their network and discover which ports are open and being used per machine. In networks where GFI LanGuard agents have been installed on machines, additional valuable security information can be retrieved such as the executable that opened the port. This is useful when trying to determine if a certain port is opened by a valid service or not. This short video shows a user how to do easily audit open ports on machines in their network and discover such information.

GFI LanGuard provides administrators with the ability to monitor the data sharing behavior of employees within an organization, by informing administrators which computers have administrative shares enabled and which do not, and giving details of share permissions per computer. This short video shows how this can be done with GFI LanGuard: simply and effectively.

GFI LanGuard provides an audit to IT administrators of the devices in their network, and can graphically map which devices require updates to be deployed to them. To deploy missing security and non-security updates for Windows, Mac OS and Linux operating systems, and third party applications, IT administrators can pick which patches to deploy to which devices, and set up automated processes that will manage the process at pre-specified times, minimizing the impact to end-users. This short video shows you how to do this.

Watch this video to learn what to do once you've installed GFI LanGuard. 

A little known secret of GFI LanGuard's extensive capabilities is that it can be used to not only deploy patches to vulnerable devices, but that it can also be used to deploy 3rd party custom software and scripts across the network. Practically any piece of software that can run silently can be deployed using GFI LanGuard. This short video shows how users can to configure GFI LanGuard to do this.

GFI LanGuard helps IT administrators to discover and learn more about the network and their devices, using either agent-less or agent-based scans. This short video shows a user how to deploy scanning agents to known devices in the network, and to automatically install agents on new devices that connect to the network.

GFI LanGuard helps IT administrators build an inventory list of all devices attached to their network. This short "How To" video shows how a user can set up an automatic report that will alert them when a new device is added to a domain or organizational unit in the network.

This short video shows how to use GFI LanGuard to automatically deploy patches to devices in the network, that have already been tested or manually approved for distribution.

Your network is dynamic, constantly moving and evolving. As your employees go about their daily work, the security status of your network is ever changing. This short video shows a GFI LanGuard user how to remain vigilant and in control at all times, by providing ongoing visibility of any relevant security changes made on your network.

GFI LanGuard enables IT administrators to gain visibility of what smartphones and tablets are being connected and used on a company network. Once discovered, IT administrators can use GFI LanGuard to scan these devices to audit which vulnerabilities they may contain, and then quickly learn if there are any operating system updates that would fix those security issues. The supported systems are: Google Android, Apple iOS and Windows Phone. This video shows a user how to do this.
