Threat Detection
Get an instant IT security audit across your entire network using built-in reports.
You Can't Protect What You Don't KnowYou Have
You can’t protect what you don’t know exists. For many years, Asset Inventory lists at the very top of most industry-leading security frameworks such as ISO, NIST, and CIS. The discovery of hard- and software data plays a critical role in maintaining an up-to-date synopsis of your entire IT estate to protect yourself against IT security attacks. Leveraging that collected network data is a fundamental starting point for implementing operational IT security measures across your organization
Leveraging IT Inventory Baseline for IT Security
With all this information at our fingertips, so much more can be done to ensure that organizations are not only running efficiently but are also able to identify OPSEC threats and opportunities.
You’re using discovery and inventory data to understand the number of deployed assets, software installations, and other asset-specific information. The IT security department is using data to assess operational IT security threats, vulnerabilities, and respond to security incidents. The thing they have in common: the need for 100% visibility.
A Critical First Step in Cyber Security
Making IT Discovery a key process of your cyber security management enables you to discover new devices as they come into the organization and inventory all software and hardware across your IT environment. Cases of IT Discovery supporting a response to a security threat include the WannaCry and Meltdown vulnerability exploits. Once identified, IT teams were able to query Lansweeper to find instances of vulnerable software using a built-in report, thus successfully protecting their data.
Instantly Detect Assets the Moment They Connect to the Network
Ensuring that unknown devices -which are far more likely to become a rogue network device– are detected the moment they enter your organization’s network is crucial to maintain a strong IT security.
Lansweeper's Asset Radar helps anticipate cyberattacks by detecting assets the moment they connect to the network. Combined with our advanced, AI-powered Credential-free Device Recognition technology to recognize & identify these unknown assets and their potential security risks, this delivers complete coverage and unmatched inventory accuracy to give you 100% visibility of your entire IT environment.

How Lansweeper Helps You Go Further
The first step to operational IT security or OPSEC is knowing what assets exist. Sounds simple, but a solid IT security program requires reliable inventory and discovery to successfully protect your data. Once you’ve established your asset inventory baseline, you can start to dig deeper.
Vulnerability Reports
Where software versions can be identified, vulnerability reports check if the software is not missing any security patches that could leave it exposed.
Monthly Patch Tuesday Report
Every month, Microsoft releases a scheduled security fix, known as 'Patch Tuesday'. We create a monthly report that checks if the assets in your network are on the latest Patch Tuesday update.
Deploy Software Patches
Mitigate security risks by silently installing and uninstalling software, deploy software updates, make command-line changes, kill processes and run custom scripts.
Audit Antivirus
Is your Windows infrastructure protected against viruses? Identify if there are any Windows devices without anti-virus software and whether the anti-virus is up-to-date.
Check Hardware Warranties
Automatically check the warranty status for your Dell, Fujitsu, HP, IBM, Lenovo or Toshiba assets to make sure that your assets are still under coverage with the manufacturer.
Mitigate Local Admin Risks
Lansweeper tells you which users have Local Administrative Rights on an asset-by-asset basis. Capture all the unauthorized administrators so that you can control who can manage your assets.
