GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (N.S.S.) is a tool to audit network security and proactively secure it. It is also a complete patch management solution. GFI LANguard N.S.S. scans entire networks from a 'hacker's' perspective, and analyses machines for open ports, shares, security alerts/vulnerabilities, service pack level, installed hotfixes and other NETBIOS information such as hostname, logged on user name, users etc. It does OS detection, password strength testing and detects registry issues.
The tool checks that anti-virus and anti-spyware deployments are offering optimum protection, ensuring the most recent definition files are installed on user machines. It also provides multinational and hybrid environment support through multilingual patch management and enhanced Linux checks, allowing IT admins to scan and secure their entire network environment.
Latest changes:
- Scan the network to perform vulnerability assessment and retrieve relevant security information

- Improved reporting – executive reports are available now directly from within the application (if Reports Pack is installed on the same computer)
- Estimation of the time remaining for the scan to complete
- Centralization of all errors encountered during a scan so that users will instantly see on which machines the scan failed and why
- Virtual machines detection (VMware and Virtual PC supported)
