Description: A device audit is a systematic examination of devices to ensure compliance with security policies. This process involves evaluating hardware and software on connected devices, especially in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT), where the proliferation of interconnected devices has created new security challenges. The audit aims to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and potential security breaches that could be exploited by attackers. Through techniques such as network scanning, configuration analysis, and penetration testing, critical information about the security status of each device is collected. Additionally, it verifies that devices comply with regulations and security standards established by the organization. Device auditing is crucial for protecting data integrity and user privacy and helps organizations comply with legal regulations and industry standards. In an environment where IoT devices are becoming increasingly common, auditing becomes an essential practice to mitigate risks and ensure a safer digital ecosystem.
