    Procedimento

    1. Navigate to All > Industrial Workspace Admin > Guided Setup > Operational Technology Vulnerability Response > Hardware Vulnerability Assessment > Scheduled Vulnerability Assessment Jobs > Configure > Scheduled Jobs.
      Importante:
      • You must run Hardware Assessment - Full before you schedule the Hardware Assessment - Delta job. You can run the Hardware Assessment - Full on demand.
      • You can schedule Hardware Assessment - Delta job to run daily, weekly, or according to your required frequency.
    2. Select Hardware Assessment - Full > Execute Now.
      This job performs an assessment on all OT devices in the inventory to detect any firmware vulnerabilities regardless of prior assessments.
    3. Select Hardware Assessment - Delta > Active.

      Select Run and choose a frequency from the list. The Hardware Assessment - Delta job runs according to the frequency that you select.

      This job performs incremental assessments, targeting only changes or updates since the last assessment run. It captures changes on firmware, normalized contents, and vulnerabilities since the last successful run of the hardware vulnerability assessment. This job makes sure that you can maintain continuous monitoring and timely updates.

    4. Select Hardware Vulnerability Assessment - Mark Expired Assessments > Active to start this job.

      Select Run and choose a frequency from the list. The Hardware Vulnerability Assessment - Mark Expired Assessments job runs according to the frequency that you select.

      Hardware vulnerability assessments are based on the firmware data available for a device. If you update the firmware version of a device, the existing assessments based on the previous firmware version are no longer valid and are considered as expired assessments. You can delete expired assessments, which are older than a month. However, you must perform new vulnerability assessments for the devices with an updated firmware version.
