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.
