The MBSA provides built-in checks to determine if Windows administrative vulnerabilities are present, if weak passwords are being used on Windows accounts, the presence of known IIS and SQL administrative vulnerabilities, and which security updates are required on each individual system. MBSA is used by many leading third-party security vendors and security auditors and, on average, scans over 3 million computers each week. It is a standalone security and vulnerability scanner designed to provide a streamlined method for identifying common security misconfigurations and missing security updates. The MBSA is an easy-to-use tool designed for IT professionals and helps small and medium-sized businesses determine their security state in accordance with Microsoft security recommendations and offers specific remediation guidance. Today, 10 years later, the MBSA is still a free security tool that many, many IT Professionals use to help manage the security of their environments. For those IT administrators that lived through those days, the MBSA was a godsend. Microsoft released security updates weekly, and there were few deployment technologies available to help determine which systems needed which updates. Many years ago before Windows Update was available, servicing software was much more painful than it is today. This article in our series on Microsoft’s free security tools is focused on a tool called the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA).
