Description

Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) is a free security scanning tool developed by Microsoft to help organizations assess their security posture and identify potential security issues. It is designed to detect common security misconfigurations and missing security updates for computers running Windows operating systems and Microsoft applications. MBSA can scan and report on Windows systems, including Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2012. It can also scan for missing security updates for Microsoft applications, such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server. MBSA also provides information about best practices for secure configuration and can check for the presence of antivirus and antispyware applications on Windows systems. MBSA can be installed as a stand-alone application or can be used as a web-based application.
