A user notices that their smart doorbell camera occasionally stops responding and the mobile app shows it as offline. The doorbell's firmware is several versions behind, and the user has not updated it since installation. What is the most likely reason the device is becoming unresponsive, and what should the user do first?

The Wi-Fi signal is weak; move the router closer to the doorbell.

The device may be compromised; perform a factory reset and change the Wi-Fi password.

The firmware is outdated and may contain bugs that affect stability; update the firmware to the latest version.

The device's battery is low; replace or recharge the battery.

A user notices that a smart camera's pan/tilt function moves on its own, and the camera's login history shows a successful login from an unknown location. What is the most appropriate immediate response?

Disconnect the camera from the network and change the account password

Disable the camera's motion detection

Reboot the camera and continue monitoring

A user's gaming console is set to automatically download updates but only install them during 'maintenance windows' that the user schedules. A critical security patch is released, but the next maintenance window is in three weeks. The user frequently plays online games. What is the best course of action?

Create a new user profile and continue playing

Disable online multiplayer until the maintenance window

Manually install the critical patch immediately, even if it interrupts gameplay

Wait for the scheduled maintenance window to avoid interrupting gameplay

A gaming console manufacturer releases a security patch that fixes a critical vulnerability in the console's network stack. A user has automatic updates disabled to avoid interrupting gameplay. What is the most appropriate action?

A company deploys IoT sensors in a public area. The sensors are connected to a network switch that is accessible in an unlocked utility closet. The company wants to prevent unauthorized physical access to the switch and also detect if a sensor is disconnected. Which combination of measures is most effective?

Use tamper-evident seals on the sensors and the switch.

Enable encryption on the sensor data and set the sensors to reboot on disconnection.

Lock the utility closet and enable switch port security that alerts when a device is disconnected or a new device is connected.

Place the sensors on a separate VLAN and use strong passwords on the switch.
