GFI is giving away a 5-IP freeware version of their award-winning product GFI LANguard™ to help organizations secure networks and build their defenses.

Walter Scott, CEO at GFI, says “We view ourselves not only as a vendor but also – and equally importantly – as a business partner that understands our customers’ needs and is actively doing something to help. With this fully functional 5-IP version of GFI LANguard we are giving something back to businesses and helping them keep their networks secure.”

The security of your business is obviously an important issue but perhaps not the number one concern to throw money at, especially in this economic slump. Cybercriminals prey on this lax mentality, though, and their threats are increasingly taking advantage of organizations.

GFI is encouraging business owners to maintain security standards even when budgets are low because consequences can be financially crippling. Furthermore, companies need to understand the critical importance of security and realize that it goes beyond anti-virus and anti-spam processes.

Over 15,000 complete vulnerability assessments are carried out when a network is scanned by GFI LANguard. When a scan is complete, GFI LANguard’s Patch Management functionality line allows administrators to deploy and manage patches and security updates on all machines across the network. Hardware information can be retrieved through the network and baseline comparisons can be used to check for unauthorized changes to a system.

Note: GFI Languard is free for 5 IP’s.
