Explanation

After installing and registering the network scanner agent on Device1, the next step is to create an assessment job (network assessment job) in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal. The assessment job defines the network segment(s) to scan, the scanning device (Device1), the scan schedule, and the authentication credentials used to perform authenticated scans of network devices. Without an assessment job, the registered scanner has no instructions on what to scan. Connecting to Intune, applying for Threat Experts, or downloading an onboarding package are unrelated to this authenticated network scanning workflow.
