In today’s digital landscape, it’s crucial to maintain visibility over the software installed across an organization’s devices to ensure security and compliance. The challenge lies in the vast amount of data and the limited tools available for analysis. Guard+ was developed as a tool for Managers and senior security analysts to provide a fresh perspective on an organization’s security.
By effectively tracking critical details such as software names, versions, vendors, and associated devices, IT administrators can preempt potential vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. This level of monitoring enables organizations to mitigate risk, enforce security policies, and maintain an up-to-date inventory of all software deployed across their infrastructure.
Guard+ already enables visibility into device compliance.
It allows you to identify software that requires upgrades, patches, or, in some cases, removal.
This new feature in Guard+ enhances the capabilities of Managers and security analysts by providing a complete picture, enabling you to understand which software is installed on which device and its impact on software vulnerability and device compliance reports, thereby facilitating better decision-making moving forward.
These reports are essential for demonstrating compliance capabilities and meeting the organization’s needs.
Below, we showcase how Guard+ enhances user experience in tracking the software installed.
