GFI LANguard, the award winning network security scanner has now one more update. It is the most widely used network security scanner software used by over 20k users all over. It is one of the top network security scanners which is highly recommended for any network administrator.

The highlight of the software’s new version is the vulnerability and patch management and network auditing. The vulnerability management provides the highest level of assessment. The scan is performed using vulnerability check databases and scanning will provide over 15000 assessment results for a single scan of network and virtual environments. In this latest version, it is also possible to differentiate between the scan of the physical and virtual machines.

Apart from the vulnerability management, it has a wonderful patch management for Microsoft operating systems. It has support for 38 different languages. This provides a centralized way of updating patches for machines over the network with Microsoft security updates. Also, there is an option provided for scheduling which makes it better to maintain a wholly secure network.

There is an additional functionality with this software called network auditing. This is used to scan all the hardware devices attached to the network computers and also you can compare if the device was present during the last scan or if it has been added only during this scan so that you can get updated about the unauthorized plugging of additional hardware or even removal of the same.

This is the number 1 windows security scanner which is available as a free trial version of 30 days by which time you can observe its performance.
