Automated Security Auditing

Security Auditing Software

At Decision Consultants we are familiar with the use of auditing software such as Microsoft's Baseline Security Analyzer tool or GFI LANguard to perform a variety of automatic system scans to identify potential problems:

• Check service pack levels
• Check for missing security patches
• Check for security alerts/vulnerabilities
• Detect unnecessary shares
• Detect unnecessary open ports
• Detect new security holes using scan comparisons
• Check for unused user accounts
• Check password policy and strength
• Make an inventory of your network
• Detect potential Trojans on servers and workstations
• Find out if the OS is disclosing too much information

Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 

Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer (MBSA) is the free, best practices vulnerability assessment tool for the Microsoft platform. It is a tool designed for the IT Professional that helps with the assessment phase of an overall security management strategy. MBSA includes a graphical and command line interface that can perform local or remote scans of Windows systems. 

GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner 

GFI LANguard Network Security Scanner (NSS) checks your network for possible security vulnerabilities by scanning your entire network for missing security patches, services packs, open shares, open ports, unused user accounts and more. This information allows you to lock down your network against hackers. GFI LANguard NSS can also remotely deploy missing patches and service packs in applications and operating systems. 

Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) 

Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) is a next-generation network management software platform that monitors the availability, performance and security of your information system by proactively identifying problems and trends occurring on servers across your entire network.
