Description: Device risk assessment is the process of identifying and analyzing potential risks associated with devices, especially in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT). This process involves a thorough review of vulnerabilities that may be exploited by attackers, as well as threats that may compromise the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data and systems. Risk assessment not only focuses on the devices themselves but also on their interaction with other network components and the environment in which they operate. Through this assessment, organizations can prioritize their security efforts by implementing appropriate measures to mitigate identified risks. This includes adopting security protocols, updating firmware and software, and training users on safe practices. The relevance of device risk assessment lies in the growing number of connected devices and the diversity of applications in which they are used, increasing the attack surface and the complexity of security management. In a world where connectivity is essential, risk assessment becomes a critical tool for protecting both users and organizations from potential cyber threats.
