Explanation
Vulnerability Protection profiles contain threat signatures that detect exploitation attempts, including use of weak and manufacturer-default credentials on IoT devices. These signatures are categorized under 'informational' or 'low' severity threats and target known default credential patterns. Alert mode logs the event without blocking, which suits a detection-only requirement. Antivirus profiles detect malware payloads, Anti-Spyware profiles detect C2/spyware traffic, and Data Filtering profiles inspect content for sensitive data - none of these address credential-based IoT threats.
