In 2019 Lansweeper was discovered to be vulnerable to an SQL injection vulnerability. The Lansweeper central inventory database must be located on either an SQL Compact or SQL Server database on a Microsoft Windows machine. There is also a software module that allows Lansweeper to orchestrate software updates on Windows computers. The software incorporates an integrated ticket-based Help Desk module that can be used to assist issues to be captured and tracked through to completion. Lansweeper can collect information on all Windows, Linux and Mac devices and can also IP-addressable network appliances. Reports from the inventory enable complete hardware and software reports on the devices and can be used to identify problems. The main purpose of Lansweeper derives from a discovery phase of sweeping round a local area network (LAN) and maintaining an inventory of the hardware assets and software deployed on those assets. In June 2021, Lansweeper received a €130 million investment from Insight Partners to accelerate further growth. In October 2020, Lansweeper announced the acquisition of Fing.

Lansweeper was founded in Belgium in 2004. Lansweeper is an IT asset management solution that gathers hardware and software information of computers and other devices on a computer network for management, compliance and audit purposes.
