Product Description: GFI LANguard N.S.S. is a complete patch management solution which scans your entire network, IP by IP, and provides information such as service pack level of the machine, missing security patches, wireless access points, USB devices, open shares, open ports, services/applications active on the computer, key registry entries, weak passwords, users and groups, and more. After it has scanned your network and determined missing patches and service packs - both in the operating system and in the applications - you can use GFI LANguard N.S.S. to deploy those service packs and patches network-wide. It can also deploy custom software network-wide.
