LANDesk Device Security
Customer Resource Center


Perimeter defenses such as firewalls are no longer sufficient to protect data and processes. With increased worker mobility and malware attacks, IT needs to protect devices inside and outside of the firewall. Whether you are a current LANDesk customer or are looking for a solution to make your deployment easier, we encourage you to utilize this resource page to incorporate end device security into a multi-tier security strategy.

Looking for a solution to secure your devices?

Looking for a solution to secure your devices? LANDesk Security Suite, which is currently in beta, integrates a variety of security technologies and capabilities into a single, easy-to-use management console. The solution will help IT organization staff sleep better at night by providing tools that solve some of their top security concerns including:

  • Spyware detection and removal capabilities to avoid system performance degradation and crashes
  • Robust, proactive patch management capabilities to enable rapid patch deployment, shaving critical time out of the patch management process
  • Security threat analysis to eliminate device security flaws, including group memberships, unnecessary services, internet connection firewall status, anonymous user accounts, and more
  • Unwanted application blocking to limit access to troublesome applications, including peer-to-peer file sharing, as well as malware trojans
  • Connection Control Manager to limit the networks a client can access, verify lists of authorized connections, and enable or disable USB ports, modems, drives, ports or wireless access

Your business computing environment is under siege, both from malicious attack and from ordinary maintenance issues and bugs. New hardware and software is released every day, along with the patches to repair inevitable vulnerabilities. Just keeping up with the change can be a full-time job that leaves little time for other IT tasks.

LANDesk Patch Manager extends the power of LANDesk Management Suite to automate vulnerability assessment, remediation and patch management across heterogeneous IT environments. Quickly establish baseline OS and application security.

Enterprise IT Perspectives

"Chicago Tribune has more than 3,700 devices such as desktop computers that need to be managed and effectively secured. Previously, that meant using a variety of disjointed products and services, but with LANDesk Security Suite, we expect the single-console interface and multi-function software to reduce exposure to spyware and viruses while increasing uptime and IT efficiency." -- Sudhaman Gopalan, LAN/security administrator, Chicago Tribune.

"We currently manage more than 10,500 different desktops, laptops and mobile devices in our network environment, and securing these devices is our top concern. LANDesk Software’s management suite is such a valuable tool for us in managing our systems, building increased security functionality into the same management console is a natural extension of the solution. It will give us the additional security we need, without having to use a variety of different applications—most of which can’t offer all of the robust systems management technologies and benefits LANDesk Software’s solutions do." -- Kevin Conable, Sr. Director, IT enterprise operations for Adelphia Communications.
