A hospital wants to isolate its patient-monitoring devices from the general office network to prevent malware from spreading to critical equipment. The devices need to communicate with a central server in the IT data center. Which design best meets the requirement?

Place the devices on the same VLAN as the office computers and rely on the firewall to filter traffic.

Create a separate VLAN for the devices and use a firewall to allow only necessary traffic to the server.

Connect the devices directly to the internet and use a cloud-based security service.

Use a single flat network with strong endpoint protection on each device.

What is the primary purpose of an intrusion detection system (IDS)?

To monitor network traffic for suspicious activity and generate alerts

To block all malicious traffic automatically

To provide secure remote access
