Risk assessment
Risk assessment provides you with a roadmap that will tell you what to protect and how to protect it. The ever-growing number of IoT or OT devices is increasing the security risks of organizations. Since an OT or IoT environment lacks modern controls such as auto-patching or a strong password (no default password), it becomes imperative that MDIoT should be leveraged, as it can instantly discover unknown vulnerabilities.
This understanding of vulnerabilities can be achieved by generating a risk assessment report. Figure 9.1 shows the Risk assessment section in the MDIoT sensor portal. Click the Generate report tab:

When you click on a generated report, you will see the downloaded file, as shown in Figure 9.2:
