Computer security, security vulnerabilities, and threats are a concern not only to information technology (IT) professionals, but also to anyone who uses a computer. Most companies, and many home users, live with "always on" connections to the Internet – connections that expose them to the inherent risks of viruses, intrusions, denial of service attacks, and other threats.
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) is an easy-to-use tool designed for the IT professional that helps small- and medium-sized businesses determine their security state in accordance with Microsoft security recommendations and offers specific remediation guidance. Improve your security management process by using MBSA to detect common security misconfigurations and missing security updates on your computer systems.
MBSA will work with all supported versions of Windows including Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
MBSA is also compatible with Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services 2.0 and 3.0, the SMS Inventory Tool for Microsoft Update (ITMU), and SCCM 2007.

MBSA page for more information or to download the latest version.
