2. Select Hardware Assessment - FullExecute 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 - DeltaActive, then 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 was 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 AssessmentsActive to start this job, then 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 If you update the firmware version of a device, the existing assessments based on the previous firmware version are no longer
   valid and are considered as expired assessments.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.
