4 Managing Agents
GFI LanGuard can be configured to deploy agents automatically on newly discovered machines or
manually, on selected computers. Agents enable faster audits and drastically reduce network
bandwidth utilization. When using Agents, audits are performed using the scan target's resource
power. Once an audit is finished, the results are transferred to GFI LanGuard in an XML file.
