GFI LANguard N.S.S. 7 Offers Integrated Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware Checks
New Version Delivers Enhanced Port & USB Device Scanning

GFILANGaurdGFI has announced the release of GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (N.S.S.) 7.0, the latest version of its popular security scanning and patch management product. Version 7 builds on the product's extensive network scanning abilities to include scanning of anti-virus and anti-spyware deployments; 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.

GFI LANguard N.S.S. 7.0 improves on its network scanning techniques with enhanced port scanning through service fingerprinting, allowing IT staff to track down unauthorized and potentially malicious services running on their network.

GFI LANguard N.S.S. 7.0 reduces the time it takes to scan across all wireless access points, open ports and the entire computer network for any active services or applications that may put the network at risk.

Once GFI LANguard N.S.S. 7.0 has completed scanning a system, it categorises security vulnerabilities and recommends a course of action. The latest version of the software is specifically designed to detect unauthorised applications installed on the network and to alert IT staff of any threats to security immediately so that they can download the appropriate patch.

GFI LANguard N.S.S. 7.0 also offers patch management support for multilingual operating systems. The software allows
organisations to download and deploy patch files across the network in a variety of different languages supported by Microsoft products. This is particularly important for large multinational companies who need to deploy patches quickly and simultaneously in multiple countries.
