Leading sub-Saharan network security expert, AfricaSD, has announced the immediate availability of a free, one-year, five-user licence for the award-winning product GFI LANguard.
An essential tool for network administrators, GFI LANguard enables them to scan, detect, assess and rectify network vulnerabilities and to secure their networks with minimal administrative effort.
“We are excited that our partner, GFI Software, has decided to respond boldly to the tough economic times we are all facing by releasing a freeware version of GFI LANguard,” confirms Hennie Moolman, Managing Director of AfricaSD. “It is further proof of their intention to assist businesses during this downturn. It shows that they understand their customers' needs and are prepared to do something to help.”
Winner of the 'Best of TechEd' award in 2007, highly recommended by the judges at the SC Magazine Europe awards in 2008 and a finalist at this year's SC Magazine Europe awards, GFI LANguard carries out more than 15 000 vulnerability assessments during a scan of the network, which includes all of its virtual environments as well.
Once the scan is complete, GFI LANguard's Patch Management functionality allows administrators to deploy and manage patches and security updates on all machines across the network. Hardware information can also be retrieved and baseline comparisons used to check for unauthorised changes.
“Offering five users one year's protection for free, this version of GFI LANguard shows that the company cares and wants to help companies to continue focusing on security issues even though budgets have contracted,” maintains Moolman. “It will also encourage them to take their security to another level and to fully appreciate that network security goes beyond anti-virus and anti-spam.”
Not only will five users enjoy free projection for 12 months, they will also be able to upgrade to the fully-fledged GFI LANguard product at the end of the trial, at an exclusively reduced price.
