Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer - and information security vendors
Thursday, May 31st, 2007
The Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) is a tool put out by Microsoft to help analyze security problems in Microsoft Windows. It does this by scanning the system for security problems in Windows, Windows components such as the IIS web server application, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Office. One example of an issue might be that permissions for one of the directories in the wwwroot folder of IIS could be set at too low a level, allowing unwanted modification of files from outsiders.
Versions 1.2.1 and below run on Windows 2000, XP, and 2003, provide support for IIS versions 5 through 6, SQL Server 7 and 2000, Internet Explorer 5.01 and above, and Microsoft Office 2000 through 2003. Version 2.0 adds support for Microsoft Office XP and any other software supported by Windows Update. Version 2.0.1 is an update to MBSA 2.0 to enable compatibility with the new Windows Update (WU) offline scan file.
