GFI LANguard N.S.S. is built on an architecture that allows for high reliability and scalability catering for both medium to larger sized networks.

GFI LANguard N.S.S. consists of five main components which are:

GFI LANguard N.S.S configuration/user interface
GFI LANguard N.S.S. Attendant service
GFI LANguard N.S.S. Status Monitor.
GFI LANguard N.S.S. Patch Agent service
GFI LANguard N.S.S. Script Debugger.

GFI LANguard N.S.S. configuration/user interface

Launch GFI LANguard N.S.S. from Start } Programs } GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner 7.0 } LANguard Network Security Scanner.

Use this application to:

Launch network security scans and patch deployment sessions.
View saved and real time security scan results.
Configure scan options, scan profiles and report filters.
Use specialized network security administration tools.

GFI LANguard N.S.S. attendant service

This is the background service which runs the scheduled operations. These include scheduled network security scans and scheduled patch deployment operations.

GFI LANguard N.S.S. patch agent service

This is the background service that handles the deployment of patches, service packs and software updates on target computers.
