Hi my name is Ruth and welcome to another video tutorial from Tech-Compass
In this tutorial I am going to show you how to correctly assess the security state of
a Microsoft Windows computer using the free
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser
So let's get started
First download the Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser from the Microsoft website,
The current version is 2.2 , you will find a link and further information in the description
box below
Then double click to start the install process
Click next
Accept licence terms and click next
Click next
Click install
If you are prompted by the user account control click yes
Click ok to complete the installation
Now we can launch the program and click yes on the user account control
Ensure you are connected to the internet and then click scan a computer
If your computer is not already configured for Microsoft update then select "Configure
computers for Microsoft update and scanning prerequisites"
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyser will then scan the computer for common security
misconfigurations and then provide a detailed report
In the report we can see any security issues and clicking on the links will give us more
information including how to correct them
So that's how you can assess the security state of a Microsoft Windows computer
Thank you for watching, my name is Ruth
