   A hospital is deploying IoT devices for patient monitoring. These devices transmit sensitive health data over the network. The hospital also has a guest Wi-Fi network for visitors' mobile devices and a network printer for administrative use. The network administrator must ensure that the IoT devices are secure and that patient data is protected. Which of the following is the most important action to take?

   • APlace the IoT devices on a separate VLAN with strict access control lists (ACLs) to isolate them from other network traffic.
   • BDisable the network printer to reduce the attack surface.
   • CUse the guest Wi-Fi network for the IoT devices to keep them separate from the corporate network.
   • DConnect the IoT devices directly to the internet to ensure they can send data to the cloud.
