The GFI LanGuard SDK enables software developers and OEMs to quickly and easily integrate patch management, vulnerability assessment, asset tracking, network and software auditing and more into new or existing products.

1. Integrated patch management
and vulnerability scanning
Build Stronger, More Secure Solutions
Research consistently demonstrates that many of the vulnerabilities exploited by cybercriminals can be prevented if users
simply keep up with their software patches and are aware of misconfigured networking gear and unauthorized devices on
their network.
However, many businesses and most consumers fail to maintain adequate software patching and vulnerability management
practices. This creates significant market opportunity for OEMs, ISVs, MSPs, PC utility companies and others to offer patch
management and vulnerability scanning as an integrated component of their products.
The GFI LanGuard™ SDK enables software developers and OEMs to quickly and easily integrate patch management,
vulnerability assessment, asset tracking, network and software auditing and more into new or existing products.
