A hospital is decommissioning old IoT infusion pumps that stored patient data. What is the most important security measure to take before disposing of the pumps?

Document the decommissioning process for audit purposes.

Perform a secure data wipe to erase all patient data from the devices.

Remove the devices from the network inventory list.

Physically destroy the devices to prevent any data recovery.

Which network security device or system monitors network traffic for suspicious activity and alerts administrators?

Intrusion detection system (IDS)

A hospital has a mix of IoT devices, some of which are critical for patient care and others that are non-critical. The network team wants to ensure that a compromised non-critical device cannot affect critical devices. Which network design is most appropriate?

Use a single firewall for all devices

Create separate VLANs for critical and non-critical devices with strict firewall rules

Disable all network security to improve performance

Place all devices on the same network for simplicity

Part of the IoT Threats and Basic Security domain, which makes up ~17% of our current practice bank. EC-Council does not publish an official question count, but from its 120-minute exam (~50–80 total, ~9–14 in this domain), expect 2–4 from this objective — we provide 45 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
