Budgets are a problem of late for a lot of people. They’re getting slashed and in many cases it’s just becoming too hard to make ends meet for security programs. One possible solution it GFI’s LANguard. The reason I bring this up is that I’ve gotten word that this Thursday GFI will be announcing a free version of their scanner. When you download the trial version, which gives you 10 days, it will switch to a full featured version after that for up to 5 IP addresses.
From GFI:
Top Features
* Identify security vulnerabilities and take remedial action
* Detect Virtual Machines
* Automatic remediation of unauthorized applications
* Automatic deployment of network-wide patch and service pack management
* Easily analyze and filter scan results
Sure, it’s not a lot but, five IP addresses for free isn’t too shabby. Look for the official announcement this Thursday.
