LANDesk Software, a provider of systems lifecycle management, endpoint security and IT service management, has released the latest versions of LANDesk Management Suite 9 and LANDesk Security Suite 9. The upgraded solutions, with numerous new features and functionalities, are designed to reduce risks and software expenses, while increasing productivity in several key areas.

LANDesk Mobility Manager allows IT managers to instantly discover mobile devices connecting to the corporate network and attribute them to a user account. IT managers are also able to block specific devices from corporate data, if they pose a threat. Specifically, remote wiping capabilities are available for devices that are out-of-policy, non-compliant, active threats, lost or stolen or at the time of a user’s employment termination.

"This allows IT managers to feel more secure in their corporate environment while continuing to allow users to leverage new technologies such as Apple iPads, iPhones, Blackberries and Android devices," said Steve Workman, vice president of product management, LANDesk Software.

Additionally the LANDesk suites now offer simplified infrastructure management, enhanced software distribution and license monitoring capabilities, additional Windows 7 support and updated antivirus and anti-spyware for endpoint security.
