Visio Connector for MBSA

  • Artigo

Visio 2003 continues to be an essential application in the IT professional’s toolbox. It allows you to create network diagrams, server rack diagrams, and Web site maps. Maintaining a secure network is also a top concern for IT professionals. With that in mind, Microsoft will be releasing a free utility that will help IT professionals to visualize security threats within their networks. The Visio Connector for MBSA works in conjunction with Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer 1.2.1 to perform MBSA scans and visualize security threats from a Visio network diagram.

Here are some screenshots of some preliminary work we’ve done with the Visio Connector for MBSA. I am interested in hearing your thoughts on how this utility might be useful in your organizations.

    The color coding is related to reported issues?

    Looks like a cool application, but is this another blackbox appplication? It would be more useful/have more educational value if you could show how it was built.
