GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (N.S.S.) checks
your network for all potential methods that a hacker
might use to attack it. By analyzing the operating
system and the applications running on your network,
GFI LANguard N.S.S. identifies possible security holes.
In other words, it plays the devil's advocate and
alerts you to weaknesses before a hacker can find them,
enabling you to deal with these issues before a hacker
can exploit them.
GFI LANguard N.S.S. scans your entire network, IP by
IP, and provides information such as service pack level
of the machine, missing security patches, open shares,
open ports, services/applications active on the
computer, key registry entries, weak passwords, users
and groups, and more. Scan results can easily be
analyzed using filters and reports, enabling you to
proactively secure your network - for example, by
shutting down unnecessary ports, closing shares,
installing service packs and hotfixes, etc.
GFI LANguard N.S.S. is also a complete patch management
solution. After it has scanned your network and
determined missing patches and service packs - both in
the operating system (OS) and in the applications - you
can use GFI LANguard N.S.S. to deploy those service
packs and patches network-wide. It can also deploy
custom software network-wide.

Software firewall produced by Zone Labs. It includes an inbound intrusion detection system, as well as the ability to control which programs can create outbound connection — the latter is not included in the Windows XP Service Pack 2 firewall. In ZoneAlarm, program access is controlled by way of "zones" which the computer's network connections are divided up into. The "trusted zone" generally includes the user's local area network and can share resources such as files and printers, while the "Internet zone" includes everything not in the trusted zone. The user can specify which "permissions" (trusted zone client, trusted zone server, Internet zone client, Internet zone server) to give to a program before it attempts to access the Internet (e.g. before running it for the first time) or, alternatively, ZoneAlarm will ask the user to give the program permission on its first access attempt.
