What is the primary purpose of placing IoT devices on a separate network segment or VLAN?

To improve the performance of the main corporate network

To allow IoT devices to access the internet directly

To isolate them from critical systems and contain potential breaches

To simplify the process of assigning IP addresses

A small business installs smart locks for its office doors. The locks are managed via a mobile app and connect to the office Wi-Fi. The business wants to ensure the locks are secure. What should the business do?

Disable the mobile app and use the physical key override only.

Use the same Wi-Fi network for the locks and office computers to simplify management.

Change the default admin password on the locks and place them on a separate Wi-Fi network for IoT devices.

Rely on the lock's built-in encryption to protect against unauthorized access.
