2014-02-20 Link of the Day: Microsoft Attack Surface Analyzer

After an absence I am happy to be back blogging.  Here is a FREE security tool from Microsoft called Attack Surface Analyzer.

Microsoft Attack Surface Analyzer is a freeware security program for Microsoft Windows Vista and above.  The purpose of this tool is to provide insight into changes made to a system after a new application has been installed.  This is especially useful for IT security professionals working with software developers and at organizations using custom applications.  By analyzing changes to the systems overall attack surface any security issues introduced by the new application are identified for remediation.

For more information on how Attack Surface Analyzer can help your organization see this great article, "Improving Security Using Attack Surface Analyzer", by Solomon Lukie.
