Getting started: Default reports

Introduction

After installing the GFI LANguard N.S.S. ReportPack, a number of specialized pre-configured reports can immediately be generated on the data stored in the database backend of GFI LANguard N.S.S. These default reports are organized into the following categories:

Vulnerabilities scanning reports: Use the reports in this category to identify vulnerabilities detected on the network. The reports include vulnerability details such as host machines, operating systems affected and severity.
Patch management reports: Use the reports in this category to display information on network patches and service packs installed as well as those still requiring deployment.
System information reports: Use the reports in this category to display detailed information on hardware and software present on the network. These reports help management in analyzing conformance with corporate security policy.
Results comparison reports: Use the reports in this category to compare results of consecutive network scans that have a common profile and target, and of computer scans against a computer used as benchmark.

GFI LANguard N.S.S. default reports are accessed by clicking on the Default Reports navigation button provided in the navigation pane.
