MDS2 Community

View your uploaded MDS2 files and shared community files.
On the
Vulnerabilities
MDS2
page, click <number>
Files Available in Community
.
The
Vulnerabilities
MDS2
MDS2 Files
page opens with two tabs: one for the files you uploaded (
Uploaded Files
) and one for files shared in the community (
Community Files
).

The table provides key details about the MDS2 file: the vendor, profile, model, and software version it applies to; how many devices in your inventory it matches; the format version of the MDS2 file; and when it was uploaded to
IoT Security
.

The table on the Community Files page provides almost all the same information as that on the Uploaded Files page except for the date the file was uploaded.
If there are shared MDS2 files that you don’t want
IoT Security
to apply to your devices, exclude them.
You might not want
IoT Security
to apply one or more community files to your medical IoT devices, perhaps because you prefer a different version for some reason. In this case, you can exclude them from the automatic selection process.
Select
Vulnerabilities
MDS2
MDS2 Files
Community Files
, select the check box of an MDS2 file you want to exclude from the automatic selection process.
Exclude
and
Download
buttons appear above the table.

Click
Exclude
.
If you change your mind, repeat these steps but click
Include
instead of
Exclude
.
IoT Security
displays an
Include
button for previously excluded MDS2 files.
If there are duplicate MDS2 files and you want to use something different from what
IoT Security
automatically selected, manually override the selection.
When more than one MDS2 file applies to the same vendor, profile, and model, you might want
IoT Security
to apply a different MDS2 file other than the one it automatically selected. For example, you might choose an earlier format version if your medical IoT devices are running earlier software versions and this MDS2 file applies to them more accurately than a later one would.
Click an MDS2 file name on the
Vulnerabilities
MDS2
page.
The information panel that opens on the right side of the page lists duplicate MDS files in order of priority.

The information panel for a file you uploaded includes an
Edit
option, but the panel for a community-shared file does not.
To compare two duplicate files, either click or hover your cursor over
Compare
.
IoT Security
compares it with the currently applied file. In the example shown here, you can see that the first MDS2 file is prioritized because it has a software version whereas the second file does not.

To use a different file, click its name and then click
Use
<file-name>
instead
.

The name of your selected file now appears in the File Name column and is shown as
Current
in the information panel.
