Discovering Devices

GFI EndPointSecurity enables you to transparently and rapidly query organizational network endpoints, locating and reporting all devices that are or have been connected to the scanned target computers. The application granularly identifies endpoint devices connected to the target computers, both currently and historically, and displays the detailed information on screen once the scan is complete.

Use the Scanning tab to scan target computers and discover connected devices. By default, GFI EndPointSecurity scans all supported device categories and connectivity ports.

A discovered target computer can be any computer on the network, and may not be included in any GFI EndPointSecurity protection policy. The device scan must be executed under an account that has administrative privileges over the target computer(s).
